About this Writing Stuff...

Let me start with congratulations to friend, publisher, and writer, Steven H. Wilson on the upcoming debut of his third SF novel, Unfriendly Persuasion.  Click HERE to read my review of the book in December 2011.    The book launch for Unfriendly Persuasion will occur next month at Farpoint, a long-running SF media convention in Timonium, MD co-founded by Steve in 1993.  Farpoint is a weekend loaded with actor guests, artists, writers, and podcasters with programming for adults and children alike.

In this week's round of articles, we have a double shot from JA Konrath as he questions the value of publicity and tackles the myth of the bestseller.   We get two "How To's" from Jody Hedlund as she tells us how to make our books read like movies and how to find original ideas when you've run dry.   There's been talk lately about "authors vs. writers" and Jami Gold weighs in on that. Sophie Masson covers covers while hubby and wife Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch talk about distribution, bestsellers, and other thoughts.  Enjoy!
