Finding a Market: ICL Newsletter

by

Even before I signed up to take the Writing for Children’s class at the Institute for Children’s Lit, I used to hang out at the site, reading and dreaming.

The great thing (for a cheap-o like me) is that you don’t have to be a student to read the articles or the ICL e-news. I picked up plenty of writing tips, absolutely free. Eventually, I signed up for the e-news so I wouldn’t miss it. Now, every Thursday, I read every word. This Thursday was a little different.

There in the ICL e-news were my very own words! You can read my article on “Organizing My Writing Life” and get a few free tips for yourself. And who knows? Maybe one day you’ll see your name in the ICL e-news, published in a new market, or at the top of one of those nifty articles.

Dreams can come true, it can happen for you…but only if you keep on writing!

Finding Something Friday Shares Some Writer Mama Love

Writer Mama, How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids

I’ve never met Christina Katz, the author of Writer Mama. But I think I love her. I know I love her books. And when you win her book, you’ll love her, too.

I recently won a copy of Writer Mama and Get Known Before the Book Deal. These are must-reads if you’re starting out in the business of writing. Or even if you’ve been in the business awhile but missed a few lessons. Because believe me, Christina doesn’t miss a thing.

So when I won another copy of Writer Mama (I know; it’s crazy. I’ve got some secret winning Writer Mama mojo.) I knew exactly what I wanted to do: share the love. And in honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m giving away this autographed copy of Writer Mama. And no, it’s not autographed to me. Christina very kindly left my name off this time.

Want to win? Just tell me what you love about writing. What makes you warm and fuzzy all over, or gives you a tingle when you mingle all those juicy words together? Er, we should probably move on or take a cold shower…

Got a favorite blog? Website? Book? Post a comment between now and Finding Something Friday on February 20th. Tell me about your writing love, and if I draw your name, I’ll send you a lovely, new copy of Writer Mama. As long as you live in the States. Heck, I’ll even send Writer Mama to New York City.

Now, that’s love!
