FROM
THE EDITOR
My final speaking appearance of 2014 happens this Saturday in
Frankfort, Kentucky. I'll be reading poems from my new poetry
collection, Solving the World's Problems (click
here to learn more about the book and a free challenge with a $500
prize), at the Kentucky Book Fair. If you stop by my table
during the event, I'd be happy to discuss getting published,
blogging, and other topics as well. By the way, another WD editor,
Brian Klems, will be there for his new book (Oh Boy, You're
Having a Girl) as well.
In this issue of the newsletter, I'm happy to share one more call
for submissions. It's for the second edition of the Guide to
Self-Publishing (more details below). Click

WRITE A PAGE TURNER
Finishing a
novel is one thing. Revising a novel is something else. But to make
a novel that sells, writers need to write a page turner! Learn how

a Page Turner boot camp.

writers will learn everything they need to know to craft a novel
that readers can't put down. Plus, they'll have an opportunity to
ask an agent specific questions related to their novel and receive

Writing a
novel is tough, but polishing it is nearly impossible to do
alone. With the Writer's Digest Advanced
Novel Writing course, writers don't have to tackle the
process alone!
Over 15 weeks, novelists will work through their manuscripts
10,000 words at a time with course instructor Terri Valentine and
their online classmates. At the end, each participant will have
up to 50,000 words written and revised-with plenty of feedback on
the manuscript.
This course is not for beginners. Rather, it's for writers who
are ready to get published and want specific feedback on what's
working-or not-with their manuscripts. This is the final ascent
to publication!
