[Upcoming Book Release] Bring Your Fiction To Life by Karen S. Wiesner

This is my friend and longtime colleague's newest book coming out in June from Writer's Digest Books. You can pre-order it NOW, though! So excited to get a copy of this one and review it. The cover is GORGEOUS! I know Karen Wiesner is thrilled about its forthcoming release.

From Karen S. Wiesner:

Cover reveal for BRING YOUR FICTION TO LIFE: Crafting Three-Dimensional Stories with Depth and Complexity. The thought process behind this final design, according to my editor: "The cover, using the visual element of overgrown plants, focuses on the "life" aspect of the title and fiction. The type treatment is also also more organic, with "life" in a much more "fun" font, and "fiction" being nice and bold. The plants also subtly suggest the depth and complexity that is mentioned in the subtitle, as they overlap each other and the white circle. This gives it a three-dimensional type aspect. All of the different plant images also create a nice layering effect. All of these concepts are mentioned in the book, and represented subtly in this beautiful, warm cover." I love it. I think it's beautiful, but not in an overly feminine way.I can't wait to see what they do on the inside. My last book for Writer's Digest Books, WRITING THE FICTION SERIES, was truly the most beautiful writing reference book I've ever seen, inside and out. This one may top it in the end.

Surprise announcement: After much thought and consideration, I've decided to once again publish Scribe & Quill's e-zine for writers in 2017. The first issue will be released in January.

For those who aren't familiar with the history of Scribe & Quill, I launched the e-zine 1997 and published it for over 16 years. While talking with my husband Paul the other day, he mentioned that I seemed happier when I was publishing Scribe & Quill. He was right.

Here's to new beginnings in 2017 – including one for S & Q.

Oh, one more thing. That's not me in the pic. But it IS a photo of Helen Gurley Brown, the first editor I ever admired. She was EIC of Cosmopolitan for 32 years. She died in 2012, but her legacy lives on.
