Writing and the Writing Life:
- For those short story writers, the deadline for the Tennessee Wiliams/NOLA Fiction contest is approaching
- Agent @carlywatters tweeted recently: “Looking 4 upmarket, stand alone thriller/mystery like The Little Stranger, Gone Girl, The Betrayal. Contemp or historical”
- Agent @KL_Grady recently tweeted: “Also, if there are any authors who have written non-paranormal romances with Wiccan protag(s), please to query me.”
- If I get published, will you share a booth with me? how not to be awkward at book festivals, part 1: the awkward book booth
- If you haven’t found representation, I highly recommend Miss Snark’s First Victim’s Baker’s Dozen Agent Auction coming up SOON. Look at this line up of agents who could bid on your project! I’ve been following her blog for a while and constantly see success stories coming out of this annual event. Here’s the dates and guidelines.
- Jami Gold also had a post this week on prepping for NaNo
Romance Writers:
- Ode to the sexy forearm! There’s even a tumblr page!
In Geekdom:
