We
think you'll get a kick out of the Writer’s Relief adaptation of A Christmas
Carol!
What
if Ebenezer Scrooge had also been…a writer who wanted to get published? We
think the story might have gone something like this...

Stephen
Had A Great Year!
A few months after
signing up with Writer’s Relief, I placed my first story…and a year
later, I had a total of three short stories and two poems accepted
for publication. Finally I got a taste of that mythical validation we
all long for as writers!

This
has been a year unlike any other—it’s been harder than ever to spend
time researching publishing markets or focusing on writing!
That’s
where we come in. Writer’s Relief does all the time-consuming research
and targeting…you just chill and write.
In
a few weeks the new year will begin, and literary agents and editors
will be sending out a flurry of acceptances.
Wouldn’t
you like your name to be on one of them?
We
can boost your odds of success! Since 1994, Writer’s Relief has been
helping writers like you get published—21,428 times, in fact. This
year alone, our clients have received 1,339 acceptances!
And
we have limited openings on our client list RIGHT NOW in the
following genres:
>
Novels and memoirs
>

Here
are the best tips for setting and meeting your writing goals—from
finally finishing your editing to getting published!
|
|
Put
down those puppies! And don’t do any of these other over-eager things
to try and get published. Stick to the one thing we DO
recommend.
|
|
Most
writers are not marketing experts. But with these clever,
outside-the-box creative strategies for promoting your self-published
book—you don’t have to be!
|

E-mail
newsletters are 40 times better at reaching your audience than social
media! Here’s how to use this simple (and surprisingly effective)
marketing tool.
