Can We Have It All?

Laura Carter — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 10:54:07 +0000

As I sit down to write this blog, I ask myself the two questions I often have to answer. The first, do I want to do it? The second, do I have time? The response I generally come to is this… If I want to do it, I’ll have to make time! Like so many […]

How To Use Pinterest As A Writing Tool

Jamie Beck — Wed, 24 Aug 2016 11:33:37 +0000

At first blush, it may seem a little odd to consider a pictorial social media site like Pinterest a valid writing tool.

Growing up as an only child, books were my closest friends. I was a voracious reader, and my taste ran the gamut. Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, Laura […]

Romance Writers, You’ve Got to Own it!

Densie Webb — Thu, 21 May 2015 10:04:57 +0000

“Hi, my name is Densie and I write romance.” I could be a member of Romance Writers Anonymous, if such a thing existed. Okay, so maybe being a writer of novels with strong romantic themes doesn’t exactly carry the stigma of addiction, but it sometimes feels that way, especially when hanging with writers who have […]

A Day in the Life of a Writer

Nikki Moore — Thu, 07 May 2015 07:22:47 +0000

I would love to be able to say that I’m a full time writer, with an agent, PR officer and secretary to manage my career, organise promotion for me and type up stories I’ve dictated onto a voice recorder whilst sipping cocktail on a balcony (or reclining on a chaise longue Barbara Cartland style).
