Ever Wonder Where They Learned it From...

I love the line from Harry Potter, “Ever wonder where they learned if from…” Of course, Hagrid was referring to magic, but in life, I believe, there are other forms of magic… and I so love writing about magic, knowing that there’s magic in storytelling.

About ten years ago, I decided it was time to learn about the magic it took to get published in the genre I loved to write and what I needed to know about the publishing business. And, writing is a business. Authors have a great deal to do in order to not only succeed, to make the magic bloom, but not make serious mistakes.

Less than a year later, the novel I’d hoped and dreamed to get published had a legitimate publisher and I had a contract I understood before signing. Not all publishing contracts, I learned, have terms that an author should blithely sign, either. I learned that and so much more at the Superstars Writing Seminars, founded by best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson, Dave Farland, Eric Flint, Rebecca Moesta, James A. Owen, and Brandon Sanderson.

If you are seeking to become a professional writer, check out the Superstars Writing Seminars, which will be offering a pre-seminar writer’s craft day.
