Writing Inspiration, A to Z Challenge, and Our Upcoming Schedule

Wednesday, April 1 is the next post date for the IWSG. Co-hosts that day are:
Suzanne Furness
Tonja Drecker
Toi Thomas
Rachna Chhabria
Fundy Blue
Donna Hole

It’s also the first day of the A to Z Challenge–and the IWSG site is participating!

Our theme is Writing Inspiration–twenty six posts filled with positive, encouraging, confidence boosting information, quotes, and tips. All of the admins here will be contributing - Lynda Young, Michelle Wallace, Joylene Nowell Butler Susan Gourley/Kelley, L. Diane Wolfe, and Joy Campbell.

Joy, Susan, and I are also pulling double-duty as A to Z Challenge co-hosts. Diane and Michelle are acting as A to Z Challenge Minions. We’ll all be very busy and very involved next month.

You’ll also have the opportunity to link your A to Z posts to the ‘letter of the day’ over at the IWSG Facebook Group. Look for the daily pinned post.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for a critique partner or group, visit the IWSG Facebook Critique Circle.

Any questions? Ready to have some fun in April?

Insecure Writer's Support Group Post Day and IWSG Critique Circle

It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. I encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.

The awesome co-hosts today are Gwen Gardner, Dolorah, Sarah Foster, and M. Pax!

One of the advantages of belonging to a group like this is the connections. You have a common ground with other authors and can easily find those who write in your genre.

If you are looking for a critique partner, cruise through the IWSG list and visit members’ blogs. (We also have the IWSG Facebook Group with over two thousand members.)

In addition, we paired with another group and started the IWSG Critique Circle. This group is dedicated to matching people up with the best critique partners possible. If you’re looking for partners or will be in the near future, please join this Facebook group as well.

Anyone looking for critique partners? If you have some, where did you find them?

The IWSG Facebook group continues to grow, with over 1,500 members now.

And we’ve expanded with a second group on Facebook – the IWSG Critique Circle!

The aim of that group is to put writers who want to exchange critiques and find beta readers in touch with each other. And of course, there's the support and encouragement with the manuscripts. Many writers have already connected, so check it out!

We are just a month away from releasing the IWSG Guide to Publishing and Beyond. After working on organizing and editing, we can tell you right now – this book is going to rock!
