Cynthia Hartwig commented on Kamy Wicoff's article Stop, Fellow Authors! Before You Take That Book Deal, Please, Read This.

Cynthia Hartwig commented on Meghan Ward's article [NETWORKING FOR INTROVERTS] Vine: A Video Tool for Introverts

March 2013

Good work on your Vines, Meghan. I liked your "conflict" piece, even though short. I'd put some music behind both of yours (you have some overlap in background noise that is distracting). IMovie is unbelievably easy to use and the audio works great....

Tweet it immediately, Karoline. I'd forgotten that funny Groucho line, but it's perfect. But next, I want to see you tweet your own funny. What's your handle?

I love the one about the Yogurt! One of my favorites is I think by Groucho Marx: Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog it's too dark to read. Maybe I'll go Twitter that now!

Cynthia Hartwig commented on Susan Bearman's article April Eberhardt: Literary Agent for Change

March 2012

Great post, Susan. Did you happen to ask April if she's getting any blow-back from traditional publishers in moving to the self-publishing arena. I am wondering if it is possible for her to serve two masters. Good solid information and a good way to...
