Editor & Publisher: writersontherise@earthlink.net ************************************************************************ Subscribe/Unsubscribe at the bottom of this (brief) letter ************************************************************************ Dear Fellow Writers, On Gratitude & Mentors Well, I can’t believe it. I did it. I actually did it. I completed the final rewrite on Writer Mama, How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids for Writer's Digest Books and I am so grateful… and humbled. Wow. That…Was…A Lot…Of Work. I spent about twelve out of the past fourteen months pouring everything I’ve got into that book. I didn’t even know I could work that hard! I also can’t believe how much didn’t end up in the book, even though I agree with all the choices made so far. And I hope I don’t make it sound like I am done. Ha! Not by a really long shot. There is no “done” in book writing. There is only what comes next. Though I am done with my share of the writing, making sure others who want or need Writer Mama actually find out about it, is the phase that is about to begin in earnest. But I’m not complaining. For me, marketing is the fun part. I am not the only one who deserves credit for Writer Mama either. I recruited a village to help raise the book from non-existence into the two-hundred-and-seventy-five-page baby it’s going to be when it waddles out into the world. I took polls, conducted interviews, attended conferences, read and read and read, asked plenty of questions and even so, could not cover everything or talk to every single writer mama. Which is why I am so grateful for the Internet, because the dialogue can continue after the New Year at my new blog site, which I will announce in January. Also Writer Mama’s development has been supported by a bevy of friendly professionals at Writer’s Digest. They have been coming at it from all angles—editorial, proof-reading, sales, marketing, cover design and layout—just to name a few. And columnist Kristin O’Keeffe was a huge supporter and a great friend throughout the entire process. But now it’s time to say I did my best, let it go into the capable hands of Michelle Ehrhard at Writer’s Digest, and say to myself, enough. (That’s the tough part, for me.) So this month’s issue is about an appropriate topic for me: gratitude and acknowledging those who make us feel grateful. As this month rolls on I know I’m going to be thanking all the people I am grateful for in my writing career and in my life. And at the top of my list are the columnists who make Writers on the Rise the terrific online zine that it is! How about you? In our November issue, you’ll discover the folks our columnists appreciate, as well as get some great writing and publishing advice, as usual. Our featured writer, columnist Cathy Belben has sold dozens of articles and essays without querying. Read why and how you can too. In lieu of our author interview this month, we’re going to make a big to-do about our 2006 columnists. So let’s get going! I bet you’ll be feeling ever so grateful before you finish this issue. In the writing spirit, Christina Katz P.S. The "kitty” is STILL running low.
