Networking is one of the pillars of a successful writing career. Linda explains how to connect genuinely with other writers and publishing professionals and reap the benefits.
Finished the final draft, sent out the files, and ordered copies of the hardcover and paperback. Release date is set for May 25, aka #GeekPrideDay (appropriate for a #superhero#novel launch, I think). The pre-order links to pretty much every major retailer are up and linked on my site, https://JeffreyHarlan.com
Now to play my favorite video games for the first time in 3 months.
Short story collections. Strong theme, or just the best stories? Can a collection include nightmares and light-hearted stuff? (An experienced author says a good collection does not vary wildly in tone. But my stuff does).
what do you think as a reader, and what do you do yourself?
I like to keep my stories grounded in real life….for the most part. My books can be considered “plausible reality.” The stories are certainly fiction, but I hope you as a reader can go “hmph, yea I could see that happening.” #writingcommunity#writinglife#author#authorsofmastodon@bookstodon#amwriting
Dear @bookstodon
I had a lovely thing happen to me last night. Someone contacted me to say how much they enjoyed a poem I had in Sinn und Form a year ago (!), and asked which collection it was from. It was a short message but it made my day. If you read something you really like, consider telling the person who wrote it. #writinglife#poetryjournal
