I’m on vacation for a couple of weeks, but I’m looking forward to catching up on everyone’s blogs and tweets when I return. Meanwhile, here’s a guest post from Samuel Park, author of This Burns My Heart. If you haven’t bought his book yet, do! Samuel is an exceedingly intelligent and talented writer. I loved […]
First, I want to say that I was fortunate enough to meet Samuel Park in person when he read from his debut novel This Burns My Heart here in San Francisco tonight. I was so drawn in by the story and his dialogue that I bought THREE copies–all at full hardcover price. So if you’re […]
This is my 200th post! To celebrate I have an interview with New York Times bestselling author Laura Fraser. Enjoy!
Laura Fraser is a San Francisco-based journalist whose latest book, All Over the Map, is just out in paperback. The book is a travel memoir, and a sequel to her 2001 New York Times bestseller, […]
Today my good friend Alta Peterson over at Alta Peterson Communications has written a wonderful guest post about e-mail marketing. If you think e-mail marketing isn’t for you, think again. Every writer I know uses e-mail marketing once her book comes out to blast an ad with the book cover on the front to all […]

I have a guest post over at Sierra Godfrey’s blog today about plot in the Hunger Games. With the movie coming out next year, I finally read it (although I don’t typically read YA novels) and what a fun ride. Also, if you’re new to this blog, I would love if you would “follow” it […]
Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending an author lunch at San Francisco publisher Berrett-Koehler. In attendance were Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi and author of Campaign Boot Camp; William Bennett Turner, author of Figures of Speech, Sharon Donovan, former publishing director of Counterpoint Press, several other guests, and most of the Berrett-Koehler […]
A few years ago, I read Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” and the paragraph that stuck with me more than any other was a story about a woman who interviewed Kiyosaki (in Singapore, I think) for a news article. After the interview, she mentioned that she had written a novel, that she’d gotten good […]
I know, I know, it’s TUESDAY, not Monday, but “Memoir Tuesday” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. It is also Memoir May here at Writerland, which means I’m editing memoirs for 30% off my regular rate while my own memoir is being marked up with red ink. (E-mail me for a free estimate!) […]
First, an announcement: It’s Memoir May here at Writerland! What does that mean? It means that I’ll be editing memoirs this month for 30% off my regular rate. Why this super-amazing spring discount? Because while my own memoir is being marked up with red ink by my editor in New York, I have more time […]
