So, I had a CRAZY weekend. I mean crazy with a capital “C” and “Razy”. As such, I didn’t get a chance to think up some nice content for today’s blog post. I thought I’d just open the floor to comment-questions. Do YOU have any questions for ME? Or topics you want to read about? Feel […]
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 […]
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 […]
GUYS! Our big news is finally coming out into the world. And by “our”, I mean: Me, Erin Bowman, Sarah J. Maas, and Kat Zhang. WE’RE GOING ON TOUR. TOGETHER. 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 […]
I’m BACK! Oh my gosh, that was an intense couple of months. But I come baring some news! First off: TOMORROW, me and several other authors have a very big, very COOL announcement. So stay tuned! Second: I’ll be doing this super cool event in Dallas on April 27th. Along with 9 other YA authors, I’ll […]
I wish I could say, “Hey! I’m back to blogging, guys!” But I can’t. Though my internet-via-phone-only pet-sitting stint was VERY productive for book 3, it was not quite as productive as I’d hoped. Primarily because I ALWAYS overestimate how quickly I can work. Sigh. Anyway, I am super, SUPER close to finishing up book […]
#BAMFWordBattle is something I started on Twitter (along with Sarah J. Maas) to help other writers get more productive. It started with #NaNoWriMoBattle back in November, but we wanted to keep doing it after the insanity that is NaNo… So #BAMFWordBattle was born. Essentially, these epic battles are 30 minute writing sprints done on Twitter. […]
Read Part 1 in this series. Read Part 2 in this series. ALL RIGHT. This is the last post on this–I swear. My usual disclaimer applies here–this is the journey to traditional publication as I know it. I’m basing this on my personal experience and the experience of other published authors I know. 🙂 Also, FYI, […]
Read Part 1 in this series. Read Part 3 in this series. So, in case you missed Part 1, 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 […]
Read Part 2 in this series. Read Part 3 in this series. Recently, an email landed in my inbox that asked the basic question of, “How do I get published?” I get asked this a lot, and every time, I write out an answer. Inefficient much, Sooz? I’d say it’s about time to lay down […]
