Did you spend your autumn wishing you had written more last summer? Well, we can't fix that, but we can provide you with something educational and fun to do while you are not writing this summer! Enter the SUMMER SLACKER'S BOOK CLUB!
Like Oprah, we'll pick a great craft book each month and read it together. While we are reading, we'll post questions and musings in our forums and engage in lively (but very respectful) discussions about things like:
We're not promising any perfect solutions to your plot/character/action conundrums and we definitely won't be giving away cars (sorry). Still, we can read some great craft books and discuss what the experts think are the best approaches to fix our writing problems.
This summer we are trying something a bit different, we are reaching out to our great publishing pros who help and support SavvyAuthors and get their recommendations for books. We'll then select from the ProsPicks of Books they think All Authors should read. And we will read them!
Head over and recommend your favorite craft book to be added to our summer reading list! Summer Slackers Craft Books
