FIRST ISSUE OF THE WRITERS' TRICKS OF THE TRADE NEWSLETTER

Many thanks to the contributors to the first Writers' Tricks of the Trade Newsletter.

Each month the link to the current newsletter will be in the NEWSLETTER box to the right.

In this debut issue we have articles by Sunny Frazier, John Brantingham, Don Helin report on Ken Follett's presentation at ThrillFest, Dan Poynter, myself and a book review by Jackie Houchin.

Look for listings of conferences, helpful books, writers' resources and more.

Brags are welcome. Let others know about your successes. This newsletter is designed to provide writers with news, education, entertainment and helpful tips.

I edited the Sisters in Crime Southern Nevada "On The Prowl" newsletter for nearly three years. For those who enjoyed it, this will replace "On The Prowl" and offer even more with an expanded distribution.

To receive the blog and newsletters directly when posted, just click the SUBSCRIBE and click the way you want it delivered in the dropdown box.

AFTER YOU'RE FINISHED PROOFREADING, REALIZE YOU'RE NOT FINISHED!

How is it that those double or missing two letter words manage to skip right past our searching eyes. Words that appear to be spelled right on the first round suddenly don't look right. Was that phrase really supposed to be in italics?

I wish the eye would quit thinking it sees what it wants to and pick up on those faux pas the first time through instead.

The moral of the story is if you haven't been down this road before, be prepared to proof your book or story several times!
