A Live True-Crime Experience by Sarah E. Burr - Writers Who Kill
Panzer made a quick trip to the Writers Who Kill site today. With some digging in the posts he found one about about a true-crime podcast.
You can help solve it.
The post by Sarah E. Burr is about Ashley Flowers' The Deck Investigates. She explains about the Darlene Hulse cold case murder and the investigation. There's a link to The Desk Investigates site where you can listen to all 15 episodes of the murder investigation. The episodes contain ads at the beginning, part way through and at the end.
Panzer says, "You can listen to the episodes and then sign the petition."
Note: Because there are 15 episodes to listen to this is a long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to eat and drink while you listen.

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the Publishing ... and Other Forms of Insanity site. There our intrepid kitty pilot found a post about June's writing conferences and workshops.
Better start early.
Erica Verrillo's post includes 67 conferences and workshops. You can attend workshops and conferences for fiction and/or nonfiction writers. Some do have attendance restrictions. There are both online and in-person conferences.
Panzer says, "Always read the guidelines."
Note: Because this is information about 67 conferences and workshops, it's a very long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to eat and drink while you read.

A Monday Panzerism
Panzer on human correctness:
Even Mom's right once in a while.*
Good news, Mom.
You were absolutely right!
You really can't put toothpaste back in the tube.
No matter how much you squeeze out, it just can't be pushed back in.

Editing Clauses in Publishing Contracts: What to Watch For - Writer Beware (R)
Today Panzer made a quick trip to the Writer Beware (R) site. With no digging at all in the posts he found one about editing clauses in publishing contracts.
Watch out.
Victoria Strauss's post includes samples of red-flag editing clauses. For example: these would be clauses which don't allow the author to see the editing changes made to the manuscript before publication or the publisher has the right to make complete re-writes without author input. There's also a section about what to do if you find one of these editing clauses in your publishing contract.
Panzer says, "There sure is a lot to watch out for if you deal with a traditional publisher."
Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea, a muffin and three chocolate chip cookies.
