A Group You Must Join

If you're an aspiring writer and want to get a writers conference in your inbox, consider joining The Writers View. It's free. It's amazing. And, seriously, you'll learn everything you'd learn at a writer's conference (sans meeting cool people face to face), only you don't have to pay airfare.

How they work: Each Monday and Thursday a panelist poses a question about the publishing industry, the craft of writing, or anything related to the writing journey. These panelists are agents, editors, writers who are well known in the Christian writing industry. Then, panelists and members write posts about the question raised. I still learn new things every week. It's a moderated loop, so there's no blatant self promotion. Word counts are limited to 250 per post.

For beginning to intermediate writers, the group to join is TWV 2. Click here.

For advanced, published writers, join The Writers View. Click here.

You will be asked to fill out an application that you then send to the group's leadership. You'll receive an email letting you know whether you've been accepted.

Mary,
I proofread everything I read out of years of being a copyeditor. If you wish, you can call me compulsive.

My point: you may wish to have your editor change the first use of the Writers View on line 2 of the first paragraph--add the s.

Oops! Thanks for that.

Signed,
Sheepish Mary!
