• Lynne Morgan Spreen commented on Brooke Warner's article Are There Still Pros to Traditional Publishing?
    July 2014
    This is probably a mundane comment, but I'm reading a trad published debut novel right now that completely belies #2 above. The editor gave it very little effort. (A character's proper name repeated several times in one paragraph, and not for...
  • Lynne Morgan Spreen commented on Zetta Brown's article [Reality Check] - Life After the MFA: Fantasy or Reality?
    June 2014
    I was pleasantly surprised to see a balanced answer on this question. It's really informative. I wanted to share it on Twitter, and on a page I manage on Facebook, but if they aren't members of SheWrites, will they be able to access it? Thanks.
  • Lynne Morgan Spreen commented on Brooke Warner's article Not All Subsidy Presses Are Created Equal: My Beef with Author Solutions
    May 2014
    I appreciate your attempt at either warning people away from Author Solutions or declaring that She Writes Press will never get down in the slop with them. I often advise writers to be very careful about publishing mills, and I was hoping I could...
  • Lynne Morgan Spreen commented on Kamy Wicoff's article Thanks but No Thanks, Big Five. I'd Rather Be At SWP.
    October 2013
    You are my hero, Kamy! It's hard to recognize that The Dream has become an illusion at this point. I published my midlife fiction novel without spending any time at all trying to find a trad publisher. I did flirt with an indie, but figured I could...

  • Mary Wiggins commented on Lynne Morgan Spreen's article Nobody Wants to Read about Women Over Fifty - True or False?
    October 2011
    Of course it's more fascinating if you can identity with the character, so personally I would LOVE to read about a women in their 50s. I want to know what she's struggling with, what she's doing for a living, eating for dinner - the whole bit....
  • Kimberly Lomont commented on Lynne Morgan Spreen's article Nobody Wants to Read about Women Over Fifty - True or False?
    October 2011
    True for younger women, I think they probably don't want to go there. The mindset of the young is that they will never "be" old (meaning 50). I know that's what I thought. Now, I can't believe I'm in my 50's and find it interesting to read about...
  • Bridget Straub commented on Lynne Morgan Spreen's article Nobody Wants to Read about Women Over Fifty - True or False?
    October 2011
    I think it's changing as we all hit fifty. Admittedly most of the characters I write (so far anyway) tend to be younger but then I think that's because I don't feel fifty. Still there are books like "The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus" by Sonya Sones...
