Free Publishing Q&A Webinar

With writers conferences being cancelled and many people under stay-at-home restrictions, I thought you might want to join a FREE Publishing Q&A Webinar that Thomas Umstattd Jr. and I will be doing this Friday, April 3rd, at 3 pm Central time.

We did one on March 20th with little promotion and had more than 200 people register from seven different countries! We spent two hours answering questions on writing, publishing, and book marketing.

I invite you to join us this Friday. Register now; and post your questions, then come back and vote on the questions others have asked. We will start answering the questions that have the most votes because someone else may be asking the same question as you.

Since, for now, you can’t attend an in-person writers conference (April 3 was to be the opening day of the Mt. Hermon Christian Writers Conference, for example), focus on what you can do, like learning from home.

10 Writerly Things to Do in Quarantine

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant quarantine and “stay-at-home” orders have wreaked havoc (both excellent words, by the way) in the lives and routines of many. Writers may be in a better position than some, as we tend to self-quarantine even when there aren’t health reasons to do so. Still, these extraordinary times present challenges—but they also offer opportunities. What’s a writer to do …

My Most Common Advice These Days

I’ve been a published writer for more than forty years, an author for twenty-seven, and a literary agent for two-and-a-half years (not to mention a freelance book editor and a staff magazine editor at various points over the years, but I just did mention it, didn’t I?). So, whether via email or in person, I’m occasionally put in a position to offer advice. I’m usually surprised and amazed that few …

Writers’ conferences are a key step in your publishing journey. Especially if you hope to be traditionally published. They are also very expensive and time-consuming. The key to getting the most out of your next writers conference is preparation. And a key tool to prepare ahead of time is a one-sheet.

Teased Hair

My mother has sported teased hair all her life. My beautician says they don’t teach new hairstylists how to tease hair anymore. So when I need to find someone to style my mother’s hair, I have to ask if they know how to tease it. I found two in town: one is my hairdresser, and the other is the back-up stylist I go to when my regular beautician isn’t working. “Oh, you mean, backcomb?” She smiled …

Writers aren’t perfect. This may not be news to you. But occasionally we read or create typos that stay with us. Some become favorites, prompting smiles and giggles (and maybe embarrassment) for years to come. I asked writers, editors, and agents to share some from their experiences. Here are their favorites: “I submitted a post called ‘4 Reasons Why Writers Should Clothe Themselves with Humility’ …
