Don’t Let Rejection Win! Thank you so much for having me on the blog today! I’d like to spend some time talking about rejection. It happens in love – like in my new release The First Kiss Hypothesis, and it happens in life too, especially if you’re in a creative field. My book, about aContinueContinue reading “Guest Post by Christina Mandelski, author of the new YA release, THE FIRST KISS HYPOTHESIS”

Writing is my Haven (See what I did there?) I’m so excited to be on The Librarian Talks today!

Guest Post: REJECTION & MY ROAD TO PUBLICATION by Meg Kassel
Rejection and My Road to Publication When looking at an author’s published book, it’s easy to only see what they accomplished and to forget that there were likely many failures before publication. I only know of a few authors who enjoyed success straight off with the first book they wrote. Those rare, fortunate birds areContinueContinue reading “Guest Post: REJECTION & MY ROAD TO PUBLICATION by Meg Kassel”
Guest Post: Five Tips for Taming Your Muse by Kat Colmer
Five Tips for Taming Your Muse One question frequently asked of authors is “Where do you get your inspiration?” For me, that spark of “what if?” can come at any time and from anywhere: an overheard conversation in a café, a news headline, an image on a billboard, a line in a book. Getting inspirationContinueContinue reading “Guest Post: Five Tips for Taming Your Muse by Kat Colmer”
Guest Post: Jus Accardo, YA Author
There’s a saying…write what you know. Obviously I don’t have much experience with demons, extraordinary abilities, or multiverse travel, but I do know a thing or two about being a person. Specifically, a…less than graceful person. Have you ever wiped out so spectacularly that people have considered erecting a monument in honor of your…uniqueness? IContinueContinue reading “Guest Post: Jus Accardo, YA Author”
Guest Post: REJECTION DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN NO by Taylor Anne
The familiar ding sounds on your computer. You have mail. Your heart beats faster as you scroll through the messages to the unopened one. Yes, it is from the publisher! No, it is from the publisher!

Guest Post: PULLING OFF A POLARIZING CHARACTER by Melissa Chambers
Writers want our heroes and heroines to be likable so our readers will attach to them and root for them. We can give them all sorts of characters quirks like type-A personalities, neuroticism, perpetual clumsiness, etc., all treated in a lovable and forgivable way. But every once in a while, it’s fun to challenge ourselvesContinueContinue reading “Guest Post: PULLING OFF A POLARIZING CHARACTER by Melissa Chambers”

As an author, editor and avid reader, I’m excited to have been invited to write a guest post for The Librarian Talks. My name’s Elka Ray. I write crime fiction, mystery, suspense and noir.

Guest Post by Katie McElhenney
The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Writer Three of my favorite activities are running, reading, and writing. Besides being alliterative, those activities have another thing in common—they’re all solitary endeavors. And while exercising and spending time with a book can be great solo ventures, the same isn’t necessarily true for writing. Unless you’re writing professionally, mostContinueContinue reading “Guest Post by Katie McElhenney”
