Top 10 Blogs for Writers 2010-11

In December 2010 I was voted one of the Top 10 Bloggers for Writers 2010-11 (and again one of the Top 20 Blogs for Writers 2011-12).

Fiction: First Writer’s Manual

Some of my guest posts appear in slightly altered form in my first book on writing, Fiction: First Writer’s Manual:

  • Hooks from Hell on Ask Wendy for Wendy Burt-Thomas, author of The Writer’s Digest Guide to Query Letters (appears as part of “Querying”)
  • Handling Rejection on Words into Print (appears as “Handling Rejection”)
  • How History Affects Fiction on Alvah’s Books (appears as “Stepping into History Through Literature”)
  • The Art Inside Your Head on Life Dev (appears as part of “Excavating the Bones of Storytelling”)


I was also a featured author on She Writes on the subject of publication when I published Fiction: First Writer’s Manual:
