FOR READERS



If you're anything like me, you're always looking for your next book. I go through about 80 a year, and write about the best of them here. If your TBR (that's To-Be-Read) pile is getting thin, you might check these out.

Want to know when I've got something new out? Just join my mailing list. Not only is that the best way to keep up with me, I also never send out an email without giving something away.



FOR WRITERS



I can't tell you how many authors have taken the time to offer advice, fill me in on industry politics, or share writing techniques. So in that spirit, here are a few articles I hope might help you.

"How Not To Knock Yourself Out of the Game" explores some of the mistakes beginning writers make — and how to avoid them.
"Celestial Navigation" is a running list of tricks I've discovered. These are the rules I navigate by, and the list grows with every book
"The Query-Go-Round" focuses on how to write a successful query letter and find an agent.

"Format and Forget" lays out the rules of layout.
"Pitch Perfect" explains everything you need to know to prepare for a face-to-face pitch.
