Tuesday Writing Tip~Improve

To stay on top of our game, and to keep up with the competition, we must always strive to improve our writing skills. Easier said than done in a struggling economy when every penny counts and gas prices are putting the oil-consuming vehicle on the fast track to extinction. Traveling to a workshop completely blows the budget for many of us. So what are we to do? 

#WriteTip: Attend an online workshop instead of driving or flying to one. For writers of children's and YA books there is Write On Con which is completely free (no joke), and it's amazing. I know several of the ladies who host it and they are fantastic. There's also the San Francisco Writer's University (online). I haven't taken classes through them but I hear they're great. And keep an eye on my friend TS Tate who is putting together a list of other workshops. If you know of any great online workshops let me know in the comments! 

Also, don't miss the live chat with myself and author Christine Fonseca tonight at 5:00pm PT. We'll be chatting about our novels, all things writing related and giving away books and swag! To join in click here

  1. Yes, WriteOnCon is amazing. And there's lots of great books out there on the craft of writing.

    I'm not sure I'll be able to attend your chat tonight, but I'll try. I'd be curious to know the nuts & bolts of how you set it up and also your newsletter. Those would be good blog posts.

  3. I just found the Savvy Author website through recommendation from Tina Moss. I'm loving it. And they have lots of online workshops on various writing topics and not very expensive. I'll let TS Tate know to add it to the list. :)
