Another writing dream comes true

Most of us who are writers subscribe to them -- The Writer magazine and Writer's Digest. Since I began writing I've either subscribed to or bought both over the years, but The Writer turned into my favorite. For me, the articles were more indepth and gave me information that I didn't already know from reading countless books for writers. Since I've become published, I've noticed that The Writer gives more meaty information to writers at my point in their careers -- published, but always wanting to learn something new.

The Writer magazine has been in print since 1887 -- a venerable publication.

I'd always dreamed of being asked to write a column for them. Two weeks ago, I got my wish. : )

Sarah Lange, the associate editor, emailed me, said that she liked my blog, and offered me my own bimonthly column in The Writer magazine's front-of-the-book section, Take Note. She said she wanted my columns to focus on fiction writing (either craft or business issues), and to be similar in style to my blog, i.e., conversational and fun.

After I stopped squeeing, I answered her email and said that I'd be honored and thrilled. My first column will appear in their August issue which will be on newsstands beginning July 7. If you're a subscriber, you'll get your issue a little earlier.

Your excited author and columnist,
Lisa
