The Woman Warrior Writing by Diana Raab, PhD
The Woman Warrior by Diana Raab, PhD
Since an early age, writing has been my panacea when moving through challenging times. My passion began during my childhood when my mother gave me a Khalil Gibran journal to help me cope with the loss of my grandmother and caretaker who died in my childhood home.

Submit Early, Submit Often by Walter Rhein
Submit Early, Submit Often by Walter Rhein
Let’s face it, it’s always a buyer’s market in the writing world. As authors, we are constantly on the lookout for new publishing opportunities, but the markets we approach rarely reserve much courtesy for writers. Some publishers act like once you send them a manuscript it should be theirs until they deign to send you a rejection. That’s fine for the responsible ones that get back to you in a week or two, but for the guys who don’t acknowledge a query for six months to a year, it makes the potential of ever getting published almost impossible. To be fair, there are some publishers out there that encourage you to send out your work early and often, but those are the exception rather than the rule.

Constance is not so much of a biography but an attempt to display Constance Stuart Larrabee’s life into perspective using her photography. The attempt is to gain more of an understanding of her work and allowing the reader into her personal life, past and present.

SUDDENLY SINGLE SYLVIA adapted to the screen!
It was actually a TV pilot script before it was a novella and dating guide. One year after the release of the paperback and kindle, “Suddenly Single Sylvia” on Amazon, we were on set with talented actors and crew shooting a ten-minute segment of scenes from the book. Read More
Mad Mischief by Susan St. John (Book Review #514)
Mad Mischief is a literary fiction about Sarah traveling to Africa with her husband. Her relationship has many issues, and with the trip being a stressful one, it did not get any better. While you genuinely get to feel that you have gone to Africa and have experienced this beautiful country, the descriptive writing allows you to also sense the tension and problems this trip faced.
Title 2 by Keith Julius
My last article dealt with titles, and how important they are to lure the reader into a story. Titles should be evocative, inspiring questions and wonder, yet at the same time, they should also tell the reader something about the book. I have tried to follow this line of reasoning with my series “The CASA Chronicles.” Read More
