Intros & Newbies Brand new!

[Allie McCormack]

Hey! I just heard about SavvyAuthors from my writing buddy... this looks great! She recommended it particularly because I"m going to be looking for small presses to submit to, and eventually marketing services, if I wind up going that route. I'm still querying agents, but also looking ahead to the future for my options if that never pans out. I write contemporary and paranormal romance and have 5 finished manuscripts, and am currently working on a 15th Century paranormal romance trilogy (it did NOT start out as a trilogy! that just kinda sorta.... happened??? LOL).

So, since I'm not sure what else to say I'll end this here rather than start babbling pointlessly

P.S. I'm also a HUGE fan of NaNoWriMo and I'm starting to think of prep already!

Welcome @Allie McCormack!

You are correct. This is a great way to further your career to publish your works. The new indie site especially will address your issue.

There are great classes to enhance your craft and there are special events (November boot camp) concurrent with Nano (I'm an ML for NaNo) and we have a SIG (special interest group) for Nanomites.

I'm sure that as others return from vacation and stuff, my colleagues -- other moderators and staff like @Mona, @RJ Garside, @lesliedow, @DawnChartier, @Tamsen Kaye and @Lynn Shannon will stop by to say hi.

Oh awesome! I hadn't gotten as far as looking at the SIGs yet, so I ran right over and joined that one Thank you!!!

Thank you, RJ! I'm soooo excited about NaNo! I've got my writing snacks on preorder from Swiss Colony, and starting to cook up freezer meals now. I have chronic pain, and cooking is a nightmare, so I have to start early and space things way out. Especially as one of the things I'm making is biryani, which takes most of the day and every pan in the house! And then I have to clean it all up! But the house sure smells good *laughs*
