HOW TO FINANCE YOUR SELF-PUBLISHING EFFORTS THROUGH CROWDSOURCING Lets face it: Making a decent living writing only through projects that excite you is hard. Many writers have day jobs or dabble in part-time work. Some are freelancers. Quite a few have been successfully utilizing crowdfunding to bring their works to life, which enables them to finance their projects via the help of supporters, who in turn get exclusive rewards depending on the level of their support. Fascinated by the concept, Pinar Tarhan talked to eight writersMelissa Frey, Amy Zellmer, Bethany Atazadeh, Joanna Penn, Maxima Kahn, Ksenia Anske, Katie Li, and Jas Rawlinsonwho have mastered Patreon, Kickstarter, and Chuffed.

THE LAYERED EDIT: A STEP-BY-STEP MANUSCRIPT EDITING PROCESS Im always surprised when an aspiring writer finishes a draft, runs it through spell check, and sends it out. Im not surprised when a writer gets a rejection. Revision is as vital as original writing. The first draft is about passion and creativity and flow. The edits give you the chance to work on structure, language usage, layer in settings and senses, and make the difference between a decent manuscript and a great one. Over the years, Ive come up with a layered editing process thats served me well for short stories, plays, novellas, and novels. Now, Im going to share the process with you. These steps are done after your initial draft, but before you show anything to a trusted reader. By Devon Ellington.MORE
HOW TO WRITE FICTION THAT KEEPS READERS UP AT NIGHT Obviously, I dont want anyone to lose sleepor their jobbecause of my work, but I do want to keep readers turning the page. I accomplish this in my genre fiction by building a dynamic plot with engaging characters in the drafting process. Then during revision, I sprinkle in the details that make my story pop on the page. Checking for these three important elements (plot, characters, and details) over the course of my writing process ensures that I keep readers attention. By paranormal author Camille Faye.MORE
