Two Important Questions (For Fiction Writers, Story Writers, Novel Writers)

Hey there, story writer.
I have two important questions for you.

Question 1: If you had a magic button that could instantly answer your story writing questions “on demand,” at any time of day (24/7), what is the top question you’d like answered?

What do you think? What’s most important to you, right now?

Question 2: What is the #1 goal you want to achieve as an author?

Seriously. I want to know.

Why?


For the past 15 months, I’ve been deep into writing and publishing (my 18th book just came out — yep, that’s why you’ve not heard from me here :).

Right now, I’m co-authoring a book for story writers on craft — phenomenal resource for anyone who’s serious about writing genre fiction — and it’s being written together with my good friend, Russell Davis, a multi-published author (novels and stories, including for Twilight Zone, Transformers, stand-alone novels, a Tom Clancy novel, and more). He’s also a former MFA program director and former Science Fiction & Fantasy Writer’s Association President.

So. I’m listening. We’re listening. What’s important to you right now?

I want to know your deepest needs and biggest questions, to be able to give you exactly what you need.

Send me your answers.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,
Erin
