HOW CRITICAL READING CAN IMPROVE YOUR WRITING Chances are that you have more time to read, and read critically, than you’d think. These tips for maximizing your writing time can prove just as helpful in your efforts to make time to read. #2: Acquaint yourself with the tenets of good storytelling. Reading critically won’t prove very effective if you’re unsure of what to consider. BUSINESS MODELS FOR AUTHORS A business model is a plan for the successful operation of a business and is comprised of four major elements: products, income streams, customer base, and financing. An author’s products are the books they write and any related products they sell and/or services they offer. Some products can have multiple income streams. A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO LITERARY MAGAZINE SUBMISSIONS Reading Fees. Some publications cover overhead costs with "reading fees." This is a small amount of money submitters pay for editorial consideration. Most often, fees range from $2 to $5. Finances are an important factor for writers. If you are unwilling or unable to pay fees, consider magazines who read for free. DEFINING YOUR UNIQUE WRITING STYLE & VOICE Some elements of voice and style are inherent, yes, but others are shaped and molded through personal choice, preference, and experience. All the same, if you’re looking to grow confident in what makes your writing unique, don’t miss these tips for developing your creative identity: Tip #1: Play to your preferences. HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR NOVEL'S POINT-OF-VIEW & TENSE Present tense is more immediate and personal, meaning it pairs well with a first-person point-of-view, while past-tense allows for slightly more distance, making it more flexible. Strangely enough, however, present-tense is the option that has a more film-like quality in this case, given the immediacy of film.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING PROCESS Step #1: Revise & Polish your manuscript. Most traditionally published authors have literary agents who present their work to publishing houses, help them negotiate contracts, and otherwise serve as their guides through the wild and turbulent world of traditional publishing.

EXPLORING THREE WAYS TO STRUCTURE YOUR BOOK SERIES Examples: Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, Outlander, The Hunger Games, and The Millennium Series. #2: Static Series. Like dynamic series, each book in a static series follow the same character or group of characters. In this case, however, these characters don’t develop in any major ways over time; they remain static. HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR STORY'S THEMES Themes are an integral part of any good story. Yet many genre fiction writers fail to consider their story’s themes, believing they have no place beyond literary novels — or worse yet, that authors who actively explore themes in their stories do so HOW TO DEFINE YOUR CHARACTERS' STORY GOALS A story goal is an aim your character seeks to achieve throughout their journey. It may evolve to some degree as they learn new information or overcome a limiting belief, but this goal drives the majority of your character’s actions. A scene goal, on the otherhand, is
