Giving you the posts you want

Would you like to receive writing tips and advice? Answer a quick poll. Plus free ebooks on B&N and more

Readers and friends,

A little over a year ago, I restarted this newsletter after a long break. My new publisher was rereleasing all my previous books, plus they published two new ones this year: Lines of Deception and Show Game.

Thank so much for reading, and for reading my books.

Now I want to ask what you’d like to see in future posts. So far, I’ve been sharing the real stories behind my books, some little-known history, and a few thoughts on writing and translating along with book news and special deals.

But here’s the thing: I also work as a freelance fiction editor, and I’m guessing that some of you are writers and might be working on fiction projects.

With this in mind, I’m thinking about focusing more on fiction writing tips and advice in future. That said, I also don’t want to turn anyone off.

So, let’s do a little poll…

Or maybe you want something else that you’re not getting from this or other authors’ newsletters? Feel free to comment below or reply to this email.

About my fiction editing

I’m open to new projects if you need an experienced editor for:

• Editorial assessment (aka manuscript evaluation)

• Developmental editing

• Copy editing

You can find out more about my work and see what other writers have said here. 

Now sure what you need? Just reply to this email if you’re interested.

I’m also working on a new editing services page for my website (to replace this old one) and will share it in this newsletter when it’s ready.

Now, on to other brief news…
