For New Writers

www.newbie-writers.com is a great site for all writers, both new and experienced. There's lots of stuff that you can learn or share your wisdom & ideas with other writers.

I highly recommend the forum. It is a very friendly and warm place to submit your work or to learn the craft. I have posted many Calls for Submissions over the past few months and I hope some of you may find this useful in your search for new markets.

2006 : Looking back

2006 was a fulfilling year for me as a writer. Although I had far fewer published credits than I would have liked, the ones that did come through were good ones.

Essays were published in Woman's Era, Christian Science Monitor and in Releasing Times (January).

Funnily enough, a query letter to Dignity Dialogue was published as 'Letter to the Editor'!! This is inspite of the editor replying back to my query for an article! How much more specific does one need to get?!

--------------------------
My goals for 2007 are simple : Get a minimum of 50 published clips. Sounds like a lot? Watch this space!
