Blog Tours are when you get with other writers that have blogs. Then you do guest blogs  on other authors blogs reaching people that you may not have reached. It can be done if you know other authors with sites

I think the problem is as writers we really only communicate with other writers. Our fb and twitter accounts are loaded with them, so we never actually attract our readers. The only thing I have found that attracts our readers is a website and…

Hi Cassanna,   Yeah, I'm on FB, Twitter and even G+.  I have tons of friends and followers, but I don't feel like I'm zeroing in on *readers*.  Maybe I'll have to have a look at Goodreads.  I know a lot of…

Hi Cassanna,   I write poetry, creative non-fiction and fiction, but mostly fiction these days.  I've been working hard to polish up one of my mss to try to attract an agent and also trying to build a platform, hence my hanging out on…

Call for Submissions! at Anywhere

July 10, 2011 at 6pm to September 15, 2011 at 7pm
Hi all SheWriters!I am working as selection editor for novellas for a small press in Charlotte, NC.  I'm finding only one in four submissions is by a woman author and so far we've selected four for publication and only one of them is by a woman.  I'd like to see those odds even up so I was wondering if there was some way to make an announcement to the SheWrites community in general to encourage fiction authors to submit if they have a really fine short piece of literary fiction.  Full…See More

Disturbed? Well, yes...

Posted on November 12, 2009 at 5:24pm 4 Comments

Publishers Weekly announced their list of the top 100 books published in 2009 and were “disturbed” to find that the top ten contained not a single woman. In fact, the top 100 was close to 70% male. I find this disturbing on several levels. First, what are the criteria for a ‘best’ book? Are women somehow less capable of writing a ‘best’ book? Or is it that publishers are more eager to publish books written by men? How can it be that in a society that is predominantly female in general and in an… Continue

Thanks for the encouragement! I love doing NaNoWriMo, though I've only won two years now. I'm shooting for a record three!

Nice to meet you, Beth! I always love to know other NaNo-ers as they go about their lives before/after November. I have attempted NaNo since 2006, but have won for only the last three years - now the big challenge is editing those works. Do you edit through your NaNo novels right afterwards or leave them to sit?

Also, thanks for the comment on my blog; I really appreciate having feedback and new readership!

Well Beth,do you believe in co-incidences,oh!well I should ask you something different but similar too.I'll tell you here's what happened,
I got a message of the shewrites.com blog update in my inbox and so came in here to take a look at the post and what was it about.I read the whole thing and could think about two people,two women and no one else.Linda Gracia and you(and this is not I the order I thought,I thought about you two at the same micro second,it did not take me any longer to figure,my she writer whom I had to 'Shout at,lol') were the only people I could think about when I read about 'Shouting to a She Writer'.
Well while I was reading through the blog post I also saw a mention of mentioning the link of the blog of the writer,one was Shouting at,therefore I came to your page to copy the link of your blog on my comment and saw your update on your shewrites page,which made me happy,really happy,happy enough :)
Just wanted to say thanks,thank you so much,
And now you decide what to call this,
Well,I might try too,its our friendship,true friendship,
I am glad at it!

Welcome to the NaNoWriMo-group, Beth!
I am glad to see another Nano-veteran on board. I only took part once before, and the input from seasoned Nano-authors into the group was really great, from plotting (or not-plotting) beforehand to tricks how to follow the story through hills and valleys.
I am looking forward to seeing you around She Writes and the group :-)
Nina

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Jill! It could not have come at a better time. I have been a little lost in my mountains of research, unsure of how to turn it into anything other than a dissertation. But just a word of support was enough to…
