I decided to cancel #platformchat this Friday, June 19th, because I'm setting up a killer chat for next week on Friday, June 26 (and I want to take a long weekend to kick summer off!).
While I'm busy canceling things, I may as well go ahead and cancel July 3rd in honor of Fourth of July weekend. Because we writers deserve some time to play!
Here are the all new and improved chat guidelines, if you would like to join us. I hope you will.
Our guests for Friday, June 26th are:
Jane Friedman is the editor of the nonfiction book, The Beginning Writer’s Answer Book. She is Publisher & Editorial Director at Writer’s Digest. Jane speaks regularly at writing conferences across the country and has been writing and publishing ever since graduating with a BFA in creative writing from the University of Evansville. Her blog is There are no rules.
Therese was a freelance health writer before she turned to fiction. She’s the co-mama of the popular writers’ blog Writer Unboxed and will have her first novel in a two-book deal published with Random House on October 13th. You can learn more about her book, The Last Will of Moira Leahy, at her website: www.ThereseWalsh.com or her blog, www.WriterUnboxed.com.
