This week I want to bring an amazing resource to your attention—especially if you’re trying to connect with those who write fiction or creative non-fiction.
My Book Therapy is a website started by award-winning, best-selling novelist, Susan May Warren. Susie has a heart to help others achieve their publishing dreams, and I was fortunate enough to stumble on this group in 2009 at the ACFWAnnual Conference. This group has become my go-to place for a lot of my online, fiction writing and community needs.
This group has also become my community. It's where I go when I need support or sympathy. These men and women share much more than just a love of writing. They care about each other's successes, struggles and triumphs no matter what the arena. As a writer, community is vitally important and I can't imagine a better one than what I've found at My Book Therapy.
It’s so simple to get plugged in here, to become a part of the group—you just have to sign up to become a voice. As of December 1, 2011, there will be a tiered membership option, with the higher levels requiring a small monthly fee. But general membership will still be free. So what advantage is there to becoming a Voice?
- An amazing bi-monthly writing e-zine, called, appropriately enough, Voices.
- A weekly Monday night chat with experts to help you develop your story and your writing skills.
- A daily blog, covering fiction writing techniques, editing, social networking and the business side of writing.
- A place to connect with other writers who share your passion for excellence and genre.
- Special events, online and in person, some open only to Voices.
- An active, confidential, prayer team.
I know a lot of you who follow this blog are also members of My Book Therapy and I’d love for you to share what it’s done for you.
In the meantime…
Don’t forget to join the conversation!
Blessings,
Edie
