Writing Around the Web

Since today’s post is so short, I thought it would be a good time to share a few guest posts I’ve written for other blogs in recent weeks:


Pinterest: A Visual Marketing Tool for Writers and Bloggers,” The Creative Penn. Pinterest turned out to be a surprisingly viable marketing tool for me, both as a blogger and as an author. In this post, I share tips and strategies for using Pinterest to market books and blogs.

The Art of Using Literary Devices and Techniques,” Fiction Notes. Find out how the study of literary devices and techniques will refine your writing.

5 Classic Character Archetypes,” Novel Publicity. Character archetypes are identifiable by their purpose to a story. Learn about five universal character archetypes and how they enrich a story.

I hope you’ll check out these posts and enter the contest to win a copy of my book. After that, I hope you’ll get back to writing!
