Great Opportunity for Children's Book Writers

Hello friends,

My friend, Denise Cassino, Editor of Long Story Short Ezine (www.alongstoryshort.net) has a book launch for any writers of children's books. I've been involved with these from the beginning, and they are legitimate. Here's a great opportunity to help someone and yourself at the same time. Check it out and send an email to Denise today.

Thanks,
Linda

Hi Friends,

I am launching a children's book about an all boys' soccer team except one - a girl who takes the team by storm. The Wild Soccer Bunch books in 29 languages worldwide! It all started in a small neighborhood outside Chicago... Meet The Wild Soccer Bunch -- eleven boys and a girl, bonded by their passion and love for the game of soccer. Twelve kids, twelve extraordinary personalities, one wild team. The Wild Soccer Bunch plays their beloved game according to five unbreakable rules. This is a great book for empowering girls in sports, teaching the value of team work and more! Everybody knows somebody with kids!

Here's how it works: you simply offer a bonus gift if someone buys the book on the day of the launch. In order to get your bonus they must opt in to your mailing list - you can give a short story, an ebook, anything downloadable and remember: it's the parents buying the book, so your gift doesn't have to be for children. I'd love to have your help, but the launch is on Sept 9 so you must get your bonus in quickly! All you have to do is promote the book to your mailing list and social networks on launch day and we provide the copy! It's easy and you get loads of great exposure. Sign up here. www.wildsoccerbunch.com/partnersignup

Additional Bonus:
We are offering a major prize for one purchaser, which will be offered to your database. This prize will be a MONEY CAN'T BUY experience, where we will fly the winners to meet Landon Donovan and more. More details for this prize will be coming soon.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me with any questions. If you want to see what a campaign looks like, here's one from last fall: http://thetruthbooklaunch.homestead.com

Feel free to contact me at dencassino@gmail.com or by phone/skype.
Thanks.

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf! That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers, The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of The Frugal Editor, the winning-est in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft. Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
