For less than a dollar
Mario here:
What I'm reading.
Just finishing
Swamplandia by Karen Russell.
And have started
On The Grind by Stephen J. Cannell.
Update your calendars! Denver Post U hosts the seminar,
The Story Behind The Story. Local authors
Manuel Ramos,
Mark Stevens, and
Sandra Dallas will discuss how they develop and research their stories. Wednesday, April 3, 5:30-7:30PM, at the Denver Post Auditorium. The event is free but you
gotta sign up.
Over at Jane Freidman's
Writer Unboxed, she gives us five publishing trends we scribes should heed. One of them is the usual: exercise due diligence with your contracts. With the rise and importance of ebook rights, you should see how and when you can get your digital rights back.
Thankfully, she also says that writers (and by that I understand to mean fiction writers), and especially new writers, should bag the whole author-building platform. Instead, write and write well.
What can you get for less than a dollar? Hell, it seems that won't even buy a candy bar. But you can get some darn good short fiction from writer pal,
Bonnie Ramthun.
99 cents snags you her new short story,
Blood Print.
