About This Writing Stuff...
Happy New Year! This week, internet kerfuffles are kerfuffling as YA author Stacey Jay cancels her Kickstarter campaign to fund her second novel amidst vitriol from the online community regarding where some of the money was going. Among others, Chuck Wendig and Laura Lam respond.
Smashwords CEO Mark Coker presents his publishing industry predictions for 2015 while James Scott Bell assures us that self-publishing will actually remain alive and well. Victoria Strauss reflects on the best of Writer Beware from 2014, while Marcy McKay successfuly examines failure.
On the convention scene, Farpoint is a mere four weeks away and brings a distinguished cadre of speculative fiction writers with special guest Timothy Zahn. Actor guests Colin Ferguson (Eureka, Haven) and Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager) will also join us for a weekend of fun and fandom!
In March, the Write Stuff writers conference will be led by keynote speaker, writer, and social media Jedi, Kristen Lamb, along with a variety of industry professionals including writers, agents, and editors. Three days of sessions on the craft of writing, editing, publishing, marketing, audio book recording, podcasting, writing children's books, writing memoir, writing for business, and much more.
Enjoy!
