News

A rumor says the public library in Fort Dodge is looking for Iowa authors for a book fair.  A brief search failed to find information, so if you have details let us know.

We’ve developed quite a backlog of material for review, with the schedule currently filled 5.5 weeks out.  Should we go back to doing three reviews per week?

Victories

Dylan has a patron for his alternate byline.  He has made progress toward getting Sand and Ash published.

Cassie joined a 500-person Facebook group to promote her book.  She is near 30k (out of expected 35-40) on the sequel.  She incorporated edits on 10k words back from her editor.

Shannon was invited to a book fair in Clinton, Iowa on August 27th.

Education

When writing a story set in a real-world prior time, your research doesn’t guarantee the reader will feel immersed in the time.  Alison Love offers some advice that may help.
