Dear Reader,

This will be brief. I'm scrambling to do my launch social media—thanking bloggers for their wonderful reviews and features of The Falconer's Lost Baron, continuing my posting introducing the characters in the book, etc.—and also to keep up with my busy coaching and editing schedule.

And I'll have to update my website and other graphics too. It's all part of the business of being an author. Make no mistake: it is a business.

As is my coaching, and tomorrow I'm giving a free workshop as part of ProWritingAid's Novel November.

Workshop: Forget the words! Revision Strategies to Get Your Manuscript to the Next Level.

The workshop is 12/4 at 9am EST on Zoom. All the workshops this month are free—but you do have to register. You can do that here.

You'll have access to a recording and slides afterwords if you can't make the time, so register anyway!

I'm a guest on a podcast!

Want to hear a fun conversation about writing and romance? Listen to The Editor's Ink Pot on Substack. We could have talked all day...but we didn't, LOL!

More next week. Until then, happy reading and writing!

Susanne

I am passionate about historical fiction and historical romance. I have 14 published books, and I work with writers 1:1, teach workshops, and create online courses on a variety of craft issues. I have a historical novel course, a scene-building course, and will soon launch a course on writing historical romance.

News & Musings from Susanne Dunlap Dear Reader, Well, we made it through January. Up here in Maine it was snowy and bitterly cold—a real winter. And I'm done. Sigh, but nature has other ideas. Of course Punxsatawny Phil saw his shadow. However, February has some redeeming qualities! My birthday, for one thing (2/19). Then there's Valentine's Day and Presidents' Week. And it's short. (Not a leap year this year.) To cheer things up a bit as we churn through winter, I have a birthday present for...

News & Musings from Susanne Dunlap Dearest Gentle Writer... (or Wreader)... All does not always go smoothly in the world of indie publishing. More about that below, but first: I've just sent the manuscript of Book 5 in my Double-Dilemma Romance series, The Teacher's Noble Heart, to beta readers. And I'm also now taking applications for ARC readers. What's the difference? Beta readers look for things that aren't working in the manuscript. They read like writers. And they give me feedback that...

News & Musings from Susanne Dunlap Dear Reader, Let me start by wishing all of you a happy, fulfilling, and prosperous new year. May your hopes and dreams come closer to fruition, and may you and everyone you love remain healthy. I mean it. But I do have a real question: How long into the year does it continue to be appropriate to wish someone a Happy New Year? I generally go with the first time I see someone in the new year, at least through January. How about you? That all said, I'm not...
