I found @denofwriters on twitter, followed, but now can’t find it any more. Umm?

Hey guys,
Very excited and a bit overwhelmed to announce that I’ve been shortlisted for both the pitch perfect and opening chapter comps for this year’s Festival.
I submitted material for my second book, which is only at the planning (yes, actual planning, you did hear me right) stage. Grand total of 1400 words of it written, but it means a lot…[Read more]

Yes a space for a mini CV would be nice.
Also, my browser tab for Den Of Writers has a blank icon – it’s called a favicon there are instructions for how to set it here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4888377/how-to-add-a-browser-tab-icon-favicon-for-a-website – simplest method is to get the icon perhaps as a PNG file, rename the file to…[Read more]

Hi Graeme. And hi everyone else I’ve not said hi to yet. There’s a lot of you, and I’ve only just figured out how to get into the forums while I’m in work.

Oh I’ll try to tweet all my writing tweets with #DenOfWriters for the next wee while (i.e., for as long as I remember to do it).
And I’ve created the twitter account @denofwriters too, so we can tag that in if we want to. Anyone who wants to follow it, fire ahead. I might pass that on to someone else who has the time to administer it, but for now,…[Read more] -

Good luck PB. You’ve done the hard part (getting yourself Out There), now comes the harder part (waiting).
On that Juliet/Jessie B cover letter, I felt very conflicted reading it, because while the letter was great and it obviously worked for her/them, there was definitely a level of familiarity and bravado (not sure if that’s the right term, but…[Read more] -

That’s a good idea, Debi. Any suggestions? #writingden ? #denofwriterforum ?

This is great, Gipps. I love Jane Friedman’s blogs – I’ve found so many helpful resorces on her site over the last couple of years. Rhanks for posting 🙂

I hesitated about posting a general update about the Den too. But I think you’re all right – I’m sure I’m in contact with some Cloudies on twitter, FB and email so I’ll set up a smoke signal and see who responds. Maybe everyone else could do the same?
You could definitely hold the challenge here, Ath, assuming you’re happy to. I think you’d get a…[Read more] -

Hi Elle / L.
I like this, I think the use of “you” works, and I like how each section is a little vignette giving further insights into how she is in different relationships. I like how you cover not only the submission in the sexual / intimate side, but across the board – hobbies, food types, etc. It’s heartbreaking how she wants the “right”…[Read more]
