One of the warmest, best run, and most helpful writers' conference I've been privileged to present at. This drawing, by the brilliant ☃️ Bob Eckstein, will never not delight me--and this attendee comment made my day.

Read this thread. Read this article. Author Ann Garvin offers a righteous take on aging and self-worth every one of us can take to heart.

I am 62 years old, single, and recently, after watching “Love Actually” for the 17th time — toxic though it may be — I downloaded a dating app and started the arduous process of vetting men so that I, too, might actually find love. Again. (a thread)

If my mic weren't so damned nice I'd drop it--I'm out for a while, friends. Can't handle what Twitter's new owner has turned it into.

Sign up for the next webinar in our Winter-Spring Success Series with bestselling author Steven James!

He will be presenting The Story Cube on Thursday, March 14 at 7:15 PM ET.

Loved this interview with Mike Woodson of the Writer's Digest podcast about my favorite subject--editing.

Yes, language is elastic and fungible (particularly here on Twitter... or 'X' or whatever we're calling it this week). But please avoid being mislead... er, misled. Tiffany Yates Martin guides us toward a happy language balance & keeps us from being misunderstood.

A topic I am also passionate about--how to read analytically to improve your own writing. A helpful article by Readerly Books for @janefriedman janefriedman.com/how-to-read-to…

It sounds like a fun idea—tell a particular story from the POV of all the players involved, or weave together different timelines that intersect or affect one another. But not every story lends itself to the format. Insight from @foxprinted. buff.ly/3PkQUOh

Authors, make sure you're following @janefriedman as she battles to control AI-generated fakes of authors' work, after several of them appeared on major sales outlets falsely attributed to her.

#Authors , if you don't already know about Jane Friedman's battle to get fake AI-generated books claiming to be written by her taken down from Amazon and Goodreads, this is an essential story to follow--major ramifications for protecting your own work.

Barbie, baby. Writers, I want to deconstruct the narrative with you.

#Writers , how do you protect yourself on a practical level, in an industry where #authors are often those with the least powerful seat at the table?
Today on the blog, when to advocate for yourself and tips for yielding the best results possible.
