Comment by Kathleen Kern on March 21, 2013 at 1:43pm: Has anyone posted work on Inkubate? Not finding a lot about them from Googling besides what they say about themselves. They have a 1st novel contest deadline on March 31, for those interested.

Comment by Tracey Barnes Priestley on March 20, 2013 at 8:55am: This is entirely unrelated to previous posts ... I'm just appreciating all of the creativity buzzing around this site! And now, back to the business of writing!

Comment by Rosanna Leo on March 20, 2013 at 4:19am: Thanks for the invite, Meg! Am thrilled to be here. I am a romance novelist, writing for Liquid Silver Books, and cannot wait to share and chat with all of you!

Comment by Mary Lynne McLintock on March 18, 2013 at 1:08pm: Stephanie,

I'll definitely seek your the Historical Fiction group. That's right up my alley!

Comment by Mary Rowen on March 18, 2013 at 12:25pm: I would love to know more about Amazon's new literary fiction imprint, Little A. An associate of mine has done quite well with his stories in Amazon's Noir imprint. Does anyone know if they're taking unsolicited queries? Or must one have an agent to approach them? I have a completed literary novel that I'd LOVE to send them.

Thanks!

Mary

Comment by Holly Hughes on March 18, 2013 at 12:18pm: I have exciting news to share! My pitch was selected by WriteonCon as part of their Luck o' the Irish Pitch Fest. I'm thrilled and scared to be judged, but you can make it better. The more feedback I get the better my chances of winning several cool writerly prizes. Please, please. please, stop by my link- read my pitch ENJOY IT! and leave feedback (of course I prefer positive, but whatever). Writers participating are not able to reply or comment. But in order to win, we need to have the most comments and feedback.

I'd sincerely appreciate any help promoting the link to my pitch on twitter etc.

I need some positive energy assistance with WHAT DEATH HAS TOUCHED. Click on the link and take a look around- read other pitches- get excited about all the potential books. Thanks for the support!!!

Comment by Meg Waite Clayton on March 18, 2013 at 12:14pm: A question: I read the other day that Amazon has just announced a new imprint for literary fiction. Is anyone considering submitting to them (or to their other imprints)? I'm watching curiously as this world spins in new directions so quickly.

Comment by Stephanie Renée dos Santos on March 17, 2013 at 3:11pm: Hi Sophie-

Great! I look forward to exchanges. I have just posted a couple of posts there with information pertaining to the genre. I will keep up with this group here too!

Comment by Sophie Schiller on March 17, 2013 at 2:41pm: Hi Stephanie,

I would love to join "Historical Novelists"! I published one historical spy thriller and I'm working on another historical thriller.

Obrigada,

Sophie Schiller

Comment by Stephanie Renée dos Santos on March 17, 2013 at 1:44pm: Novelists-

I thought I would let everyone know that I have started a new group at SheWrites: Historical Novelists. Please know it is open to join for anyone and everyone who has an interest in historical fiction.
