New Author Advice

New Author

What should you expect? Each genre, every single book and every author will have different experiences. This depends on many, many factors including release date, size and availability of book, experience and preparedness of author, resources and contacts, limitations, location and ingenuity of author.

My first suggestion to you, as a new author, would be to get a great stack of paper, a couple of pens and a thermos of any kind of refreshment you choose. Got all those?… Continue

Inexpensive Animation for Promotion

I have attempted to brand myself, The Differently-Abled Writer. With this in mind I had a logo made. I sign all of my correspondence with that as part of my signature. Have you begun to establish your platform? It's never too early to start.

What sets you apart?

How are you different from other writers in your genre?

What characteristics do your books share?

Maybe you write in several genres. What age groups? If they're all written for the same sex, age group or target… Continue

Editorial Red Flags

Rejection is a fact of writing life and it's not always a reflection on the writing itself. Maybe the premise isn't right for the line, or the editor just acquired a manuscript with similar elements. Maybe the editor's just having a bad day.

But sometimes, it is about the writing. And that's fixable, preferably before the manuscript hits the editor's desk. I discuss a number of editorial red flags at www.emilybryan.blogspot.com.… Continue

Everything I Need to Know About Writing I Learned From Spenser

Everything I Need to Know About Writing I Learned From Spenser

(With apologies to Robert Fulghum)

I was saddened to hear of the passing recently of the Grand Master of American Detective Fiction, Robert B. Parker. Parker’s Spenser, and later Jesse Stone, were the inspiration for me to begin my own writing career. Going one step further, I realized that everything I have used in my own writing I learned from absorbing pages and pages of the adventures of Spenser, Hawk, Susan… Continue

Do you believe in the extrasensory, paranormal....

Way back in the late fifties, a man was crossing a street in a city hundreds of miles away from his home and family. He was on a business trip. All of a sudden, he had a feeling that something happened to his wife. Later, in the evening, while he was watching his hometown news, he discovered that his wife was killed that same day in an automotive accident while crossing a street. About the same time he had the premonition.

A Writer's Secret Place

On the first morning of our vacation to Yachats around 6:45 A.M., I am still drowsy while I curl over in bed taking dim note of our surroundings. Our bedroom faces East with a wall to wall picture window protected by a panel of hanging canvas-like shades.

The rising sun is streaming through those vertical panels, illuminating a picture of Martha's Vineyards on the opposite wall, and an adjacent beach painting called "By the… Continue
