If we’d known the challenges writers would face in the 21st century, we’d have gone into a more stable profession. Maybe running an all-ayatollah drag show in downtown Tehran. Let’s face it. Aspiring writers need help. More so every day. When even seasoned publishing professionals can’t keep up, what’s the newbie to do? HOW TO BE A WRITER IN THE E-AGE AND KEEP YOUR E-SANITY! is a collaboration between author and wildly successful publishing industry blogger Anne R. Allen (THE CAMILLA RANDALL MYSTERIES) and bestselling international author Catherine Ryan Hyde (PAY IT FORWARD and 17 other novels). It’s a distillation of mentorship Catherine has provided over the years combined with Anne’s most popular blog advice. It’s the proverbial “What we wish we hadn’t learned the hard way.” Ebook buyers will receive a FREE updated version every six months to ensure you always have the latest information and advice available as you pursue your writing career. ~ PRAISE FOR CATHERINE RYAN HYDE AND ANNE R.
