Tips for Writers

March 5, 2026

Hello Reader,

On Tuesday I finished up my Tuesday Tips for Writers series. However, this newsletter has grown to over 300 subscribers, and many of you are writers. I didn't want my new subscribers to miss out on the information I shared before they subscribed, so I'm including those letters here with links. I hope you've enjoyed reading this series as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Oh, and if you think of another writing topic you want me to cover, please respond to this email and let me know. I love hearing from my subscribers!

​Basics of Writing​

​Finding a Writing Process that Works for You​

​Creating Multi-Dimensional Characters​

​How I Edit​

​Writing the Perfect Query Letter​

And don't forget to check out my new podcast interview over on Arc of the Bard if you haven't already!
