Announcing a new series of Posts for Writers !

 Announcing a new series of Posts for Writers !

I'm a part of numerous online writer's groups and each seems to have its own unique focus. I do enjoy the interesting conversations there and also being able to pay-it-forward. 

Way back in 1998, when I was new to professional writing, I had a ton of questions and I recall all the advice and help I received when I was new to the world of writing. Watching the conversations started by new writers got me thinking that perhaps I could do more to help.

As such I was inspired to try a 2 yr  experiment ... sharing recommended resources for writers on a monthly basis. This will be a series of posts that will in fact share links to articles and interviews with hundreds of other authors and tons of resources. If you've seen our Recommended Resource series on this blog, you'll have a general idea as to the format I intend to use. 

So today I am announcing the series. It will be published once per month, around the middle of the month. i.e. next will be May 15th then June 20th, July 23 etc. 

This is my way of giving back to anyone involved in the world of writing. I hope it brings them solutions to their problems, helps them avoid pitfalls in the industry and perhaps be entertained as well :)

So... watch for this new series Just For Writers ! published once per month 

...and if you like what it offers, let others know about it ! :) While this series is geared to launch on May 15th, here is a little something to start us off:  

Do a search on Facebook to find a wide array of genre specific and also generic writer's groups. Be sure to use these groups in a very special way. Pay attention to the rules first of all. Each group will have its own set of rules to follow. Then think about how you can start conversations. One introduction post, just to let them know who you are. Thereafter it should be about conversations, not advertisements. Exceptions are things like interview announcements, sharing resources and links, offering networking opportunities etc. They do benefit you and could be considered marketing but you are offering something... not selling. There's a difference. Let's start with a few on Facebook that I know of, but do a search using your own genre and see what comes up for you.
