Currently am reading/compiling/digitizing original sci-fi manuscripts & agent correspondence written between 1948 & 1969 by John Hayden Howard (my stepdad). Fascinating stuff! Here’s a 1948 letter from @WritersDigest re him winning a short story contest.

I finally got to sneak a peek at the July/August 2021 issue of @WritersDigest and found a very useful article by the EIC, @AmyMJones_5, Pitch vs. Query vs. Proposal. If you can get it, read it. I have been so confused about that for years.

I LOVE MAPS! @TJMoss11 has put together a great resource on creating maps to structure your stories & you don't have to call yourself an illustrator to dive in. buff.ly/3DfyXIP Thought of all @TheWritingBarn mini-retreaters who sketch when we gather! 🍅 @WritersDigest

Practically our 2nd home 😝: the back cover of @WritersDigest. (got a little marked up in transit but actually—looks even better…) High five to Graham Sisk for creating this original art. 🦊 #writingcommunity #art #modernart #creative

Excited to find the latest @WritersDigest in my mailbox! It's been good fun contributing a mini memoir on the lingering impact of @ANNELAMOTT’s classic essay. (Thanks to @Cassie000000 & @AmyMJones_5 for the smart edits.) Can't wait to read the entire issue!
