A Ramped Up Email Newsletter: Writing Tips & Other Goodies

One of the things that social media and marketing experts recommend for authors and illustrators above all else is to build up one's email list. I've decided to ramp up my email newsletters (which are different from my blog posts). 

Once a month, I will write about things I've learned on my writing (or illustrating) journey. My next newsletter that is teed up will discuss what I've learned as a Pitch Wars mentor reading applications. Here's a teaser graphic of the genres I received:

Some topics I plan to cover in the near future:

• What it Really Means to Network
• Next Level Tips for Researching Agents
• Pantsing, Plotting, and Plantsing

I'll also run a giveaway each month, whether it is a book or a critique.

If you're interested in getting these emails, please sign up for my newsletter at this link: http://eepurl.com/gM0Dwf

Thanks!

Pitch Wars 2020 Mentor Wish List: Sylvia Liu

Hello writers! 

I'm so excited to be a Pitch Wars middle grade mentor for 2020. I'm open to middle grade sci-fi, contemporary, and fantasy, as well as graphic novels and illustrated novels. 

I have a particular interest in writers who identify with traditionally marginalized communities. 

Creative Life During a Pandemic & Publishing News

How does one stay creative during a pandemic?

My answer is compartmentalizing. I know there's a global crisis going on and I try to keep up to date on the latest science and recommendations, but as a concerned citizen, my primary role is to stay at home. I'm grateful for the ability to do that and to keep my family and myself reasonably safe and healthy.
