Have You Seen Smart Writers Newsletter?
Did you know that my publishers, WCCL, publish their own weekly email newsletter for writers? It's called Smart Writers, and recently it's been given a bit of a facelift.
Every issue now includes a Welcome message from WCCL's Trent Steele, and Morning Inspiration, a set of quotes about writing to inspire and motivate you. That's followed by Recommendations, a round-up of the latest writing books, courses, e-books and other products (not only WCCL publications).
Following that - a neat new feature! - you get an extract from my latest blog post, whatever it might be. Naturally, a link is provided to take you to my blog if you want to read the whole article.
And finally, every issue includes an article about some aspect of writing by a guest author. In the latest I received, this was "Untold Secrets of Writing Best-Selling Children's Books" by Caterina Christakos, who has a website at www.howtowriteachildrensbook.com. This was a short but interesting article about the importance of characters and conflict in children's fiction.
Smart Writers is attractively formatted and a quick, enjoyable read. Not only is it free to subscribe, WCCL are also giving away a selection of e-books, audio interviews and so on as an extra incentive to sign up. They put a value of almost $4,000 on the freebies, which you might want to take with a pinch of salt (even if they do include several items from me!). It's all good stuff, though, and free, so there's no real cause for complaint.
You can subscribe to Smart Writers via any of the links in this post. And don't worry, you can unsubscribe at any time if you find it's not for you. WCCL is a reputable company and it has no interest in spamming anyone. They also sponsor my forum, as well as the world's first free Internet radio station for writers, WritersFM.
