Hi Charlie, I signed up to the Writers Bureau correspondence course in 1996 and they have been a great help in honing the craft. The wonderful thing about WB...

I did the math. It's about $515.00 US (http://www.writersbureau.com/orders/w4/wbnew.htm). I'm wondering if it is that really worth it? Or if they are just...
Those of you who use this webboard perhaps you might be able to tell me if you're working or not. I am researching for an article, which I have just sent to...
James, You are right to be cautious of individuals and agencies offering their professional help in the world of writing. Not all of them are as professional...
Charlie, I was given a small advance by CK Publishing in 2002 for Anne Droyd and Century Lodge. That and a handful of published letters in magazines earned...
Thanks for the details, that helps. I think the best medicine right now is to discipline myself to actually get down and start writing. ~ James James Maxon ...
Yep. There are so many people who say they aren't getting anywhere with their writing, and when one asks what they have written, they say, "Well I haven't...
Friends, I'm pleased to report that I have at long last completed the first draft of Anne Droyd and the House of Shadows. Currently it stands at 84,000 words,...
Hi Will, That's great news! So looking forward to reading more from you - I've no doubt at all that it will have been worth the wait. Sorry to hear you've...
Will, Congratulations on your latest manuscript. I take it you've got a multi-book deal with your publisher. By the way what age were you at the time of...
Thanks Charlie. Actually, I don't have a multi-book deal. I'm doing this one myself through a Print-On-Demand service. However, the plan is to attract big name...

A number of us here are fans of Doctor Who. In case you haven't heard, it's official: Russell T Davies will write and produce the specials next year, and then...
... Something had to change. "Who" has gone completely off the rails of late. It has mostly become an exercise in camp nonsense, especially in season 4. Last...
... I would say that Voyage of the Damned was awful, Partners in Crime wasn't much better, and The Unicorn and the Wasp was a wasted opportunity (the trailer...
Go to the Friends of Anne web site, and there you will see the cover art complete with Anne Droyd logo, story title and author name. Better still, go to...
I like it. It looks like a scene from a horror movie. Will must have had the cover artist get to work around halloween last year! It's got a nice spooky theme...
Looks good Will. the only thing I'd suggest is to tone down a little on the "Outter Glow" of the "Anne Droyd" text. Just a touch less opacity, as it looks a...
It looks amazing Will! I agree with James here in regard that outer glow round the title, but perhaps, copy in hand, the effect won't appear quite so vibrant....
... Grr! The fierce blue-tinged glow is deliberate. The title was supposed to make you think electrically-charged metal. :-) I think you're objecting becuase...
HA! I know what you are saying Darryl, but to me an "outer glow" should follow the same natural principles as a Drop Shadow. The robotic style on the font is...
