I love Pinterest. I can sit and search for hours. No matter what kind of mood I’m in, I can always find something to make me laugh or cheer me up. For the past few weeks, I’ve been posting writing/developmental editing tips on social media, and I decided to open my blog up to other authors. Every Wednesday, I will have a different author on for Wisdom Wednesday. I can’t wait to see their writing tips!
Joining us today on Wisdom Wednesday is Janet Ann Collins.
Genre: Middle Grade
Latest Novel: A Shadow of Fear
Favorite Writing Tip for Authors:
Read a lot in the genre you want to write. That’s my favorite because I love to read books for kids and that not only helps me be familiar with the genre, it gives me an excuse to read what I love.
Great advice! If you want to be a writer, you must first be a reader.
Favorite Writing Tip for New Writers:
New writers, it may take a long time to get published, but don’t give up. Attend writers’ conferences, read books on how to write and, above all else, keep writing.
Writing conferences are great for new writers. You can learn the craft, meet other writers for support, and network with great editors/publishers.
Thanks for joining us today, Janet!
