Jen's Writing Journey

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reading all of the blog posts and tweets from attendees at Romantic Times. I was touched at the friendships the authors had with each other, even though they only see each other once or twice a year.

I have found some romance writers in the same place as me, working on getting their fiction published. I follow their blogs, and I enjoy learning from them as we all explore this business of publishing and hone our craft.

I’m thinking it would be nice to put our collective journeys into one blog. We could share the posting duties to make it easier on ourselves, and our experiences would serve as a learning piece for people in our place now and for other up-and-coming writers as they begin their own writing careers.

I’m looking for a few good pre-published or newly published writers who would like to join me in this endeavor. You would need to commit to posting once a week on a topic of your own choosing. As we build up the blog and get a sense of what works best for each of us, we could specialize a little more. Shoot me an email at rolandmediaservices AT gmail DOT com if you are interested.
