Should Authors Participate in Twitter Pitch Events? YES! Ever since the first time I heard of Twitter pitch events, I’ve been participating. First, as an author—which actually helped me a lot with my first published novel. After submitting and gathering feedback from those requests, I further revised the book until it became something I’m proud of.

Are you thinking about submitting to an anthology?

I decided to re-start my YouTube channel to share a little bit about my journey. I hope to begin regularly posting writing and publishing advice, along with some videos on what I'm currently reading and learning along the way. My first new video on the channel is the Authortube Newbie tag in which I answer a series of questions about my writing life.

 Rating 5/5 My first impression of the book was that this was something I was going to love, and I wasn't wrong. The description and cover baited me, and the story held my interest all the way to the end. "It's an exploration of an author's relationship with her protagonist, an examination of the tenuous line between belief and reality, imagination and self, and what happens when that line is crossed." - After She Wrote Him  Rating 5/5 Monkshood Manor is alive and is about to swallow unsuspecting sixteen-year-old Cate. She'll meet the home's terrifying occupants face-to-face, and not everyone is who they seem.
