Sarah0000 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just curious if anybody in the writing community happens to be here too. I just got offered a publishing contract for my first book! It's a picture book about establishing physical boundaries with family. So excited to be a "real" writer, assuming the contract and publication goes through with no hiccups. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia64 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi Sarah!! That is seriously awesome! Congratulations!! Sending you 🍾 and 💐! I wish I could write fiction. I've been a freelance travel writer for the last 14 years, but guess how many editors want travel articles now? So I started a blog back in Feb. I've long wanted to do. Do you know about a site called Freelance Success? You don't have to be a freelancer, all types of writers are on there. I haven't been on for a year or more but I think they have a "book" category. It's $99/ a year and is a fantastic place to "talk" with writers. They're the real deal. I'd name names except this is a public forum. I was able to get onto the Washington Post's Talent Network b/c of friends in this group. People write for the big magazines and websites. I need your book on setting boundaries! I moved 3,000 miles away to get some breathing room. Congratulation again -- your news is absolutely awesome!! W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_a_Number Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Congratulations!! I've published translations, but that's not creative writing 🙂 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Congratulations, @Sarah0000; what exciting news! I haven't read them, but our host @Susan Wise Bauer has also published fiction in addition to her works of non-fiction. The Revolt Though the Darkness Hide Thee Regards, Kareni 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I have published a nonfiction book on nature study and am finishing up an epistolary novel. I find it humorous that our historian leader SWB might also be a time-traveller because the Amazon listing of her book The Revolt has it published in 1615. 🙂 : The Revolt by Susan Wise Bauer (1996-09-04) Paperback – January 1, 1615 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbard Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Congratulations! You should be really proud of yourself! I've published a number of short stories and am on the home stretch with my first novel. It's a slog! I know that there's a few people on here who write in various forms, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Congratulations! 🎉 I wrote a couple of cozy mysteries this summer to distract myself from the bleakness of the pandemic, but probably won’t pursue publication. My knitting circle enjoyed them, though! (Gee, you know things are bad when dreaming up a murder is cheerier than thinking about real life! ) 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah0000 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thank you everyone! I'd like to eventually write a fiction picture book about homeschooled children as well, but I haven't thought of the right angle yet that would go over well in the broader market too. I think current experiences with distance learning might open up interest in something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
