Attention Fiction Writers βοΈ
I have another newsletter, one for fictioneers. Every month, I pick a topic or theme to cover. I send out a short weekly email to introduce the topic, cover a technique, talk troubleshooting, then use one of my stories to demonstrate some aspect of the topic. If you're a Gazette subscriber, you can get the fiction-writing newsletter by simply pressing the title here: Fictioneer's Field Guide.
Parting wordsπͺΆ
Coming in May, stories about realms beyond, and sometimes right beside, our own.
β
Happy reading and listening! π
