What are "emergency 911 interviews" with authors? I found this phrase twice in PR material about a book. If I make a 911 call, it will definitely NOT be to interview an author. How about you? What would con...

Currently Reading

New books pop in more frequently these days. Like what? S&S sent the paperback of Alexis Wright's CARPENTARIA, the one about the Aborigines that I loved. It's a terrible print job, but a wonderful story to revisit. Why do pu...

Rewrites & Resales

Rewriting is a major edit. It is also the source of additional income for freelancers who sell an original article. If you rewrite that piece, maybe giving it a new slant, you can sell it again as a different story. No, you don't just chan...

Review: A FIERCE RADIANCE

Previously, I reviewed Lauren Belfer's debut novel City of Light, and liked it immensely because of its strong female main character. Her new novel, A FIERCE RADIANCE, comes out on the 15th of next month. Again this author delive...

Well looks like georganna needs a bit of a lift .. i have never heard of technorati so if i have never heard of them they do not exist. Well not to me they don,t. Ok georganna,s blog always stays true to itself and is one of my favourite watering holes, I can not even say I stop of to get a glimpse of a half naked chick none of that going on either,mmmmmm. Well it can only be the moms apple pie syndrome "whatever that is" but i will keep dropping by and keep attempting to find the half naked chick maybe one day. Got it !!. Must be the anticipation, ha ha love and kisses from stugod

Oh, you're all so kind, and I do so much appreciate all your comments. Especially so, now that Technorati has demolished my authority level to almost zip and removed the "Fans" section. I really appreciate the 214 of you who have signed up here to make "A Writer's Edge" one of your Favorites!

Dear Friends in the Neighborhood,

Best,

Georganna Hancock

Hi again. I just want to know if it's appropriate to write a story without dialogues. And what do we have to take into consideration when writing a story. Thx

Thanks I read your blog with interest! I am a non English native blog writer with the dilemma: With English I can probably reach (by far) a much larger group of readers but Swedish is my mother tongue. On the other hand linguistic errors and missing nuances will miss many readers!

I was debating whether or not I should add you as a friend and include your blog in my neighborhood; and I had pretty much made-up my mind not to. Then: I found your puppy; and now you're in.

On the other hand: I also noticed a lot of stuff that could prove invaluable unto me. So: I suppose it is not all the puppy's fault.
