Learning from Noah Lukeman

ByMoe August 12,

One of my favorite books is The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman. Recently I received an email from his website letting me know about a couple of free items available there. I’d like to share them with you:

How to Write a Great Query Letter is available as a free download.
Ask a Literary Agent, is filled with valuable advice to help aspiring authors in their careers.
Free monthly ezine with tips for authors.
Free excerpts from all of his books are available on his official website.

Noah Lukeman’s books are one of the most common books I turn to for book giveaways during BIW. They offer concrete advice and are affordable. I highly recommend checking out his websites and his books.

Writers Exploding – Guest Post

ByMoe June 10,June 22,

The Spectrum of Speculative Fiction

ByGuest Writer October 2,

Once upon a time, fantasy (FY) was (to most people) fairy tales, and science fiction (SF) was some weird geeky stuff about rocket ships and robots and aliens like giant mobile boogers. Neither, most of your parents and grandparents thought, was for grownups. You could go your whole life (well, decades on end) and never…

If You Hate My Book So Much, Why Are You Publishing It?

ByStephanie Cage June 26,July 15,

I laughed out loud when I read a comment to this effect on a writer friend’s Facebook page. The thought she described was familiar to me, and I suspect many other writers as they enter the world of publishing. First there is the delight of learning that someone wants to publish your beloved story. That…

Nano Round-Up

ByMoe December 1,

The 2007 NanoWriMo is finally over. It was a long month. Looking back I see all the mistakes along the way that I let prevent me from making my goal. The most obvious was not sticking to my daily goal and thinking I could make it up the next day or the day after that….
