For Andrey, It’s A
Win-Win-Win-Win Scenario!
|
|
With Writer’s Relief’s help, I’ve published
extensively. I’ve won a Best of the Net award, a Pushcart Prize
Honorable Mention, as well as several Pushcart nominations, and still
had time to keep writing and living.

You may be too old to collect from the Tooth Fairy
(how much does the Tooth Fairy pay per tooth nowadays? $5?), so sink
all your teeth into this week’s articles: write from strong emotions;
check out website designs that would look good on authors (is that
Harry Styles?); power up our manual writing prompt generator; and
mark your calendar for your new book’s publication date!
|
|
A strong emotion like grief can be difficult to write
about, but using these tips can help.
|
|
These websites weren’t built to showcase writers, but
here’s why their designs would enhance any author’s site!
|
|
Take
a spin through our old-school style writing prompt generator!
|
|
The answer can vary, but this info will help you
create your own self-publishing timeline!
