Writing is hard…

By Susan | Published: May 17, 2013

…so don’t give up. I don’t really have anything else to say today other than that. I’m in the middle of book 3 revisions, renovating my house, preparing lesson plans for the YAGB tour, and revising other books that have not yet sold. It all seems pretty overwhelming and insurmountable. But it isn’t. It never is. [...]

TAKEN releases, Edgefest, and Dusting Off Old Projects

By Susan | Published: April 19, 2013

I’m sure many of you noticed that on Tuesday, Erin Bowman’s Taken released. Erin is a dear, dear friend of mine, and it feels like forever that we’ve been twiddling our thumbs and waiting for her book to launch. I mean, I read an almost finalized version back in January of 2012, and I’ve had [...]

A Dawn Most Wicked cover! And some musical stuffs…

By Susan | Published: March 15, 2013

So I don’t have a whole lot to say. The Frenchman and I are packing yet again to move into a new house. Our current home is a jungle of boxes and packing paper. Hopefully this next home, though, will be the final home. At least for a few years. (I am so sick of moving! This [...]

Pub(lishing) Crawl: Books That Inspire

By Susan | Published: March 11, 2013

Hello, everyone! We have a slightly different week for you–a week of paying forward all the many blessings we here at Pub(lishing) Crawl have had. A week of talking about who and what we’re grateful for–and a week of giving back. The idea came about after we heard about a book called Poison by Bridget [...]

The Young Authors Give Back Tour!

By Susan | Published: March 8, 2013

Starting at BEA in New York City, we’ll be heading gradually west for two weeks–and ending up in Chicago. But it’s not just a self-hosted tour [...]

How to Get Traditionally Published, Part 2

By Susan | Published: January 25, 2013

So, in case you missed last Friday’s post, I am trying to lay out the very SIMPLE BASICS to getting published… I emphasize “simple” and “basics” here because every author’s journey is different and because, although things seem clear-cut on the surface, they are actually kinda complicated underneath. Overall, though, the moral of last Friday’s [...]

Pub(lishing) Crawl: Interview with Wendy Higgins, author of Sweet Evil

By Susan | Published: January 14, 2013

Woohoo! We’re kicking off this second week of Pub(lishing) Crawl post-apocalyptic insanity with an interview from the amazing Wendy Higgins. If you haven’t read Sweet Evil, then you guys are really missing out. Seriously, there’s a reason this book has been making waves all over the blogosphere (and beyond!), and that reason is that it’s awesome. Also, [...]

Blood Red Road: a book recommendation

By Susan | Published: December 17, 2012

5 out of 5 stars. This book took me completely by surprise. Like, when Erin Bowman recommended it to me with gushing praise, I was expecting Moira Young’s Blood Red Road to be good… I was not expecting it to be a single-sitting read or one of my favorite reads of ALL TIME.  Saba has spent her whole [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012, Week 3 Update

By Susan | Published: November 23, 2012

Oh. My. GOSH. We are so close to the end of NaNoWriMo. Can you taste it? I can taste it (or maybe that’s all the garlic mashed potatoes I gorged on yesterday for Thanksgiving. I could kill a vampire with this breath). Only 1 week left until THE END of NaNoWriMo 2012. The last week [...]

If you liked Something Strange and Deadly…

By Susan | Published: October 19, 2012

…then I think you might like these books, too. I’ve had a number of people email/tweet me for other books they might like after finishing Something Strange and Deadly. Since–ya know–there’s a full 9 months before A Darkness Strange and Lovely releases, so I am more than happy to comply. 1. The first book I would recommend–even [...]
