You haven't heard from me for a while. Or possibly ever, depending on when you joined this list. To remind you, you signed up for this list to get information about my writing classes.

Yes, I have one coming up! I also have two writing books on sale for the next few days! 💃🥳👏 Read on for details ...

My two writing guides are on sale for $1.99 each February 19-25:

This book focuses on the craft of writing for children. It will help you get started, through straightforward information and exercises you can do on your own or with critique partners. If you’ve been writing for awhile but feel your writing education has gaps, this guide can help you work through those weak points. Get the Kindle version for $1.99 - a 60% discount - Feb 19-25 here.

You Can Write for Children: How to Write Great Stories, Articles, and Books for Kids and Teenagers is also available in paperback and in Large Print paperback.

The Plot Outline Exercise is designed to help a writer work with a completed manuscript to identify and fix plot weaknesses. Additional articles address specific plot challenges, such as getting off to a fast start, propping up a sagging middle, building to a climax, and improving your pacing. Read the book straight through, study the index to find help with your current problem, or dip in and out randomly — however you use this book, you’ll find fascinating insights and detailed tips to help you build a stronger plot and become a better writer.

Otherwise, expect to hear from me a few times a year. If this wound up in your Promotions folder or spam, mark it as not that so it will go to your inbox in the future.
