WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING WOW! Women On Writing is a free online magazine that promotes the communication between women writers, authors, editors, agents, publishers, and readers. CREATING SCENES: FICTION'S BUILDING BLOCKS Whether they write romance or mysteries, chick lit or literary fiction, top-notch women’s writers know the key to selling their work is to create a scene.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE: EXPLORING NEW TERRITORY IN SELF-PUBLISHING Everyone reading this probably knows at least one self-published author.

JESSICA BELL: PEEKING BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF INDIE ANDSELF-PUBLISHING
Being successful in indie or self-publishing isn’t as simple as printing words on a page. In Christy O’Callaghan’s interview with Jessica Bell, she explains the importance of being an “authorpreneur” and the need for both good writing and good business practices. Not only is she prolific in her creative pursuits, but she exemplifies the word hustle. MORE >>3.
HOW TO FINANCE YOUR SELF-PUBLISHING EFFORTS THROUGH CROWDSOURCING Let’s face it: Making a decent living writing only through projects that excite you is hard. Many writers have day jobs or dabble in part-time work. Some are freelancers. Quite a few have been successfully utilizing crowdfunding to bring their works to life, which enables them to finance their projects via the help of supporters, who in turn get exclusive rewards depending on the level of their support. Fascinated by the concept, Pinar Tarhan talked to eight writers—Melissa Frey, Amy Zellmer, Bethany Atazadeh, Joanna Penn, Maxima Kahn, Ksenia Anske, Katie Li, and Jas Rawlinson—who have mastered Patreon, Kickstarter, and Chuffed. They touched on what drew them to each platform and shared their tips on how they create content and rewards for supporters of different financial levels and market their crowdfunding campaigns.

THE REALITY OF SELF-PUBLISHING IN TODAY’S PUBLISHING ENVIRONMENT: INTERVIEW WITH VIKI WINTERTON Writing and publishing a book in today’s ever-changing publishing landscape is a challenging endeavor. How an author decides to bring one's work into the world is now a complicated publishing and business decision.

Viki and Dorit discuss how to decide if a traditional publisher can offer you more than you can offer yourself with self-publishing, as well as the importance of creative control, building a platform around your book, and more.

HOW TO USE SMALL AMAZON CATEGORIES FOR BIG SALES Want a number one bestselling book? Instead of thinking big, an even better idea is to think small. Very small. In the entertainment business, it’s called niche. On Amazon, this magical world is simply called _categories_. And using the right one may help you climb the charts to number one. By Jane Ford.

FROM GRIEF AND REJECTION TO SUCCESS IN SELF-PUBLICATION WITH WRITER/EDITOR PATRICIA A. NUGENT Making the choice to self-publish is a big step and a massive undertaking. Patricia A.

MICHELLE DIM-ST. PIERRE HELPS US EXPLORE HYBRID PUBLISHING Hybrid publishing is another popular way, besides self-publishing, to take control of your work, while also having the guidance of professionals who work for the same company to help you create the best book possible. It’s currently being defined as a mix between traditional publishing and self-publishing. Michelle Dim-St. Pierre, who has completed two blog tours with WOW, works with the hybrid publisher, Booklogix, which refers to itself as a “nontraditional publisher” on its website.

LYRIC ESSAYS AND THE POWER OF LANGUAGE TO TRANSFORM: AN INTERVIEW WITH CHAUNA CRAIG, CNF EDITOR FOR ATTICUS REVIEW When I tell people I write lyric essays, I get blank stares. They correct me, do you mean lyrical essays? Or they say, aren’t those just poems? When I try to define it, I sometimes fumble. In graduate school, I learned lyric essays are scene driven—not stories—with lots of description. I learned that lyric essays often employ research and weave that into personal reflections. They are sometimes described in terms of form: they are short, fragmented, braided, etc. It feels as if all these definitions fit, yet none are definitive. And perhaps with any experimental form of writing, definitions must, by necessity, be up for discussion. Chauna Craig and I tried to narrow it down, but perhaps only widened the field of possibility when trying to pin down this mysterious and alchemic form. Interview by NaomiKimbell MORE >>

ON LYRIC ESSAYING AND CASTING ON Chelsey Clammer writes a lyric essay on the process of writing a lyric essay and knitting! She talks about patterns—both in writing and in knitting—and how important forming connections is, as well as leaving gaps—holes—to let readers take a breath, fill in the intentional blanks themselves. She’s writing an essay that looks like knitting. She says lyric essays are all about exploring the possibilities of ideas. That the meaning is in the exploration. She also provides writers with a practical sidebar at the end of the article that defines the lyric essay, shares examples of different essay structures, and even includes several writing exercises, so you can write your own lyric essay.

FROM THE DESK OF ELENA M. STIEHLER, EDITOR OF THE SONDER REVIEW: THE LYRIC ESSAY AND WORKING WITH WRITERS When considering lyric writing, it’s hard to ignore the work of independent literary journals like _The Sonder Review_ (TSR). _Sonder_ combines innovative, short creative nonfiction and fiction pieces alongside original works of art. Speaking with the modest and thoughtful Elena M. Stiehler, the founder/executive editor of _The Sonder Review_ and Sonder Press, she offered her insight into the process of an independent journal and press. We discussed her reflections on lyric writing, language, and craft. She shared her selection and editing process, as well as her pleasure in discovering the potential in new writers. She has a genuine love of words and writing. By Christy O’Callaghan. MORE >>4.
TO SUBMIT OR NOT SUBMIT? AN INTERVIEW WITH BECKY TUCH, FOUNDING EDITOR OF THE REVIEW REVIEW Submitting to literary magazines still holds a great deal of prestige and is a milestone in a writer’s career and part of platform building for many fiction and creative nonfiction authors and poets. Admittedly, I am one of those writers who has struggled to justify the return of investment of time and money against low acceptance rates. At the same time, submitting to literary magazines, like so many other things in our writing careers, can be an important opportunity for authors not to miss out on. This is why I asked Becky Tuch, founding editor of _The Review Review_ which brings writers together to help us gather the information we need as to whether it’s worth submitting to literary magazines. Interview by Dorit Sasson. MORE >>5.
SWITCH IT UP! LITERARY MAGAZINES SEEKING UNUSUAL AND UNCOMMONSTORIES
A promising relationship gone bad. The joys and challenges of parenthood. Triumph over a difficult childhood. Many stories center around themes like these—with characters acting out and working through emotional situations and events. While these stories are definitely poignant and universal, there are plenty of other topics worth exploring in your writing. Along those lines, numerous literary magazines actively solicit writing on specific, distinct topics, encouraging writers to spread their wings by tackling diverse subject matter. By Kimberly Lee.

THREE TYPES OF LYRIC POETRY TO FIRE UP YOUR WRITING PRACTICE Lyric Poetry is a diverse category of writing that can enhance not only your poetry but your prose as well. It encompasses, but is not limited to, poems in praise called odes; poems in grief known as elegies; and persona poems, where the poet takes on a character role, voicing conflicts and emotions aloud as a different speaker. By Melanie Faith. MORE >>7.
SEEKING THE SOUL OF THE STORY: HISTORICAL FICTION IN VERSE: A CONVERSATION WITH MARILYN NELSON, STEPHANIE HEMPHILL, AND MELANIECROWDER
When we think of poetry, unless we have studied the genre in depth, often what comes to mind are the playful poems of our childhood or the dramatic monologues from our college days. And although we may remember stories told through epic ballads, such as that of Gilgamesh, or Shakespearean sonnet-infused tragedies, rarely do we acquaint poetry with modern day young adult (YA) novels. Yet, in 2018, two novels in verse made it on _Publisher’s Weekly_ Top YA list. YA historical fiction in verse seems to be on the rise. What is it about poetry that allows it to traverse the boundaries of genre? Join _Women on Writing_ for a conversation with Marilyn Nelson, Stephanie Hemphill, and Melanie Crowder, three YA authors who find poetry to be the perfect tool to bring history alive for YA audiences. Interview by Katherine Higgs-Coulthard. MORE >>8.
