Thrilled to have my craft article, “Bountiful Betas: Benefits of a Beta Reader and Tips for Finding One,” featured today as a guest post as part of my book tour for From Promising to Published at Elle Backenstoe’s blog.
An excerpt: “Beta readers can save authors a lot of time and frustration trying to figure out elements of our own work that can be hard to pinpoint—such as why a certain character feels flat or why a scene that started so well deflated within a few short paragraphs.”
Ever wondered how to find an editor to assist on your writing project? Thrilled to have a craft article I wrote featured at Beverley A. Baird’s awesome blog today. Stop by to get advice on finding a best-fit editor for your manuscript.
An excerpt: “It can be invaluable to get an impartial view on our writing with the in-depth, personalized feedback a freelance editor provides. Editors catch inconsistencies, scope for grammar and structural problems, note unintended repetition and filler words, red-flag plot holes, mark underdeveloped dialogue or characterization, and much more.
Where do you find a freelance editor anyway?
· Ask a librarian. Many libraries host readings or writing groups as part of their community outreach. Plus, librarians dig a good information search and have a wide network…
· Check your favorite indie author’s website. A sizable portion of authors take on editing projects.
· Check the Acknowledgments section of your favorite recently published books.”

Thrilled to get to share my guest-blog article, “4 Tips for Overcoming Imposter Syndrome” as the next stop of my blog tour at Michelle Cornish’s blog.
An excerpt: “Have you ever gotten praise for your writing but still felt it wasn’t good enough? Or gotten published and started to doubt if you’ll ever write anything publishable again? Or felt that the first story or poem or book was just a fluke?
It’s common for writers to experience imposter syndrome multiple times in our lives. Often, just when we’re advancing in our abilities, that doubtful voice rears up.
It’s understandable that confidence in our writing projects, and in ourselves, comes and goes, since we writers are sensitive people who create art. Still, there are things we can do to silence the not-good-enoughs.
Keep something for yourself."
