Out and About on the Web

Brush up your cover/query letters and send them to Redlines and Deadlines for a chance of a critique and maybe win a download of an Ellora’s Cave or Cerridwen Press book.

Anna Campbell is doing a workshop at Sandra’s Goings On about lifting the drama in your writing.

At IHeartPresents there’s a post from editor Bryony Green about what they’re looking for in the new Modern Extra line. These books are sold as Sensation Sexy in Australia and New Zealand, and I believe in the US some have come out as part of the Presents line. They’re younger feeling with lots of dialogue and are fairly hot. I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve read. Also check out the contests they are having for Presents and Modern Extra – write a chapter plus a synopsis by mid-February.

And finally, it’s my birthday in December. I’m having a birthday bash right here with guest bloggers from 1 Dec to 21 Dec. Lots of fun and prizes. I hope you’ll come along and join in the fun. I have a special birthday contest on my contest page. Guess the date of my birthday and win!

    Thanks for the links! I’ll have to check them out. Not the one about cover/query letters. Cobblestone Press doesn’t require them, which makes them my favorite submitting place. But the others, especially the one about the workshop, sound good.

    Ooh, happy birthday. Happy birthday for the 21st. I’m not saying what date mine is. Why don’t you enter my contest with a guess?

    Hi Susan – thanks, I will

    Tempest – I’ve been practicing cover letters for a NY sub. Luckily, that’s the only time I need to do them.
