Ready to Murder Some Words: Join Our Critique Group Starting Mid November

Calling All Writers in the Peterborough, Hasting & Campbellford area! I'm opening my home to a writers critique group that will begin Tuesday November 17th. Please drop a line if you are interested in joining on a biweekly basis. We are looking for supportive writers who can take and deliver constructive criticism, focusing on the things that work while making suggestions to strengthen and improve the piece and ultimately the writer.

Writing Circle: The Whodunnits: Writing To Kill For
City: Norwood
Location: Second Empire Victorian Home
Meeting day: Tuesday
Start time: 7 P.M
Meeting frequency: Bi-weekly (possibly weekly in the future)
Openings: Yes
Format: We currently have 3 members but we're open to a few more. Looking specifically for more mystery writers (cozies, historical, traditional). The plan is to send out a chapter (3500 words or less) for review a week ahead of time. This chapter will need to be printed and toted along for Tuesday's meeting where we will take turns reading aloud and providing feedback/editing. Don't forget to print your own chapter. Laptops and track edits changes are welcome if preferred.

It’s that time of year again! #Pitmad. The Twitter contest that's held four times per year. It's a game changer. The next one is Thursday June 4th from 8AM to 8PM EST. It's basically a one day online pitching session where writers pitch their completed manuscripts two times per hour in 140 characters or less using the hashtag #PitMad and their genre. Literary agents and Editors monitor the feed throughout the day and favorite the pitches they like. When an agent or editor favorites your tweet, it’s an invitation to send them your query. So you need to get your pitches and your manuscripts polished and ready. #Twitter #PitchParty #Writers #Tips #Tricks #Pitmad #BrendaDrake #Pitmadadvice #amwriting #ampitching How to write your tweets Make the stakes obvious. Try following this framework: “When [MAIN CHARACTER] is [OBSTACLE], he/she must [DO SOMETHING] or else [CONSEQUENCE]. #PitMad [GENRE]" #PitMad lasts for 12 hours. Since you’re allowed to tweet twice p...

Today I'm interviewing bestselling author Marie Lavendar who prefers a gel pen to a keystroke and a journal page to a computer.

When asked if she had any quirks she admitted that while she doesn't write in the shower, she does find herself working on scenes in there. I had to agree...this happens to me all the time.  Desiree Edwards has a problem. She’s been attacked, kidnapped and forced to get along with a vampire of all things. It’s something right out of the story books she reads, or her worst nightmare. But, sometimes he’s not the monster he appears to be. He seems so humanlike that she can’t help it when her emotions betray her, when her body betrays her. To make matters worse, she finds out more about herself than she ever wanted to know. She was unlike any other… Alec has a problem. The animal in him wants Desiree. But, so does the man. The more he learns about her, the harder it is to deny what he wants. But, he’s a freak, and she’s just a human. The two species don’t mix that way. Then an old enemy surfaces and Alec is forced to make a choice. His life or hers. Can Alec’s soul be saved by...
