The Best Articles I Read About Writing This Week

Another busy week is in the books. And speaking of books, I started listening to the first book of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series in the car. I haven’t read that type of fantasy in decades, and so far it’s not too bad. I’ll give it a chance for a couple of books and […]

Three Awesome Writing Resources

May 10, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

In this post I look at three great resources for writers looking for a publisher or literary agent.

There are so many good resources for writers out there: some free, and some available for a small fee. I’d like to talk about three of the best when it comes to finding publishers and agents. I’ve mentioned these off and on throughout the last few years blogging, but I thought it would be a […]

What to look for in a writing group

May 9, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

I’ve talked about critique groups before and how important it is to have a group of writer friends, but I haven’t talked too much about what to look for in a group to make sure it’s a good fit. This is vital because if you’re getting feedback from the wrong people, it can hurt your […]

Some thoughts on Tate Publishing and other scammers

May 8, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

I'm truly sorry to any writers who have been scammed by Tate (and I have met a few) and also to any of the honest employees who are now out of a job. It really sucks to see things like this happen.

I’d like to open this post with a link to another site. Yeah, I know it’s not the best strategy to immediately send readers off clicking someplace else, but I trust you’ll be back. It will even open in a separate tab, and we’ll be right here waiting for you. So go ahead and click […]

How to Prepare for a Panel Discussion

May 3, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Participating in a panel at a convention is a great way to help market yourself to a new audience. Here are some tips to help make your first panel appearance go smoothly.

I recently wrote about some of the basic stuff you should do to prepare for a convention. The focus on that post lied mostly on setting up a vendor table to sign books. While I did briefly touch on panels, I thought it would be a good idea to take a more in-depth look at […]

How to Prepare for a Convention

May 2, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Whether you're doing a signing, hosting a table, or sitting in on a panel, it helps to be prepared when you attend a convention.

Even though the weekend was cut short, I still did have a great time Friday at ConStellation 8 in Lincoln staffing the Nebraska Writers Guild table with a couple of talented authors and participating in a panel on writing horror. I’d been on panels at previous conventions, but this was my first time not only […]
