SUMMER 2018 ISSUE OF WRITERS TRICKS OF THE TRADE ONLINE MAGAZINE

I have been hard at work on the Summer 2018 issue of the Writers Tricks of the Trade online magazine. Beginning with this issue, which will publish on July 15, 2018, the formatting has been upgraded and other changes have been instituted.

Back issues can be found at http://bit.ly/allWTTissues. My thanks to all of my writer friends who continue to contribute informative and entertaining articles.

Our regular contributor Fred Rayworth always gives us an article with sage writing advice, and Martha Cheves, our resident book reviewer, offers book reviews in every issue that introduce us to books we might not find otherwise.

The Life Stories feature which was open to contributions by writers has become Life Stories by Keith Bettinger. Keith is an award-winning author known for his short stories, often about his life experiences. In this issue, he relates a story from his childhood about why he became a cop. Not what you expect.

What happens when a prolific screenwriter with 60 produced screenplays to her credit turns some of them into novels? Christine Conradt shares her experience, and marketing consultant Ned Barnett offers some valuable advice about promoting your book.

A Spotlight Interview feature has been added, and our first guest interviewed is multi-award winning author Paul D. Marks, who won this year's coveted Shamus Award.

As always, the magazine is open to submissions of articles of interest to writers and those in the industry. Guidelines for submissions are at the beginning of every issue.

Now that the Summer issue is in the proofreading stage, it's time for me to take off my
editor/publisher's hat and go back to working on my own novels. Dylan the Dog stays in his little "den" under my desk where he functions as Associate Editor.
