• Journeying Pains

  Journeying Pain Most writes say that their writing life is a journey and that it’s different for every writer. Ups and downs, versions of success, what they’re writing and how its published. So many different paths to take. But we have one thing in common: the doubt. The “what if” thoughts that are never or…

• The Other Side

  I’ve spent some time querying, so when I started with Literary Wanderlust as an intern I was not prepared for how subjective the experience was going to be on the other side. I vividly remember the first few queries addressed to me with an absolute thrill that someone wanted me to look after their work.…

• Save Your Script with Save the Cat

    I’m going to start by telling you all something I’m very proud of; I’m a panster.   I rarely plot a novel, I have a few images in my head and an end scene usually and that end scene in my head often drives the rest of the story. The sense of discovery and…

• Taking Down Trolls

  The last time I fought I troll I did so quietly and with anonymity. Last night on Twitter that did NOT happen. Was it the glass of wine or the late hour on a Friday night or the nature of the attack? Nope, it was because this guy had nothing to spew but a generalized…

• The #WritingCommunity’s Inclusiveness & Support

    We’re living in a world with a lot of chaos and fighting.   Covid. The BLM movement. The art vs artists arguments.   The truths coming about from the traditionally publishing industry, agencies that have had staff walk out, the disparaging differences for advances to black authors, and most recently the NYT revelations. *deep…

• Ugliness in The Publishing Industry

  Ugliness in the Publishing Industry   I’m angry. I’m furious. I’m at the end of my fucking rope. I’d like to say its about the BLM movement, and what’s happening in Australia and America is terrible. I’d like to say it’s the #Publishingpaidme tag and the disparagement between black authors and white authors is sickening.…

• Seeking Self-Publishing? Stop Here First

  I started writing a seriously in 2014 and consequently, self-published called the Last Prophecy Series. My reason remains sound; it was a twenty-one novella and book fantasy steampunk series. Not exactly a trendy topic, succinct series, or the kind of project that would be over in a few years. But I was determined and it…
