Revising my novel
Posted by Shahrukh Husain on January 4, 2010

A few days ago, I mentioned I might blog about the long-panned revision of my novel All for a Song.  I've had a great response to the idea on my Facebook page and in my Inbox.  So here it is.  Each redrafting has its own lessons to teach and I hope some of them will come in handy for others of you out there, toiling away on their full-length manuscripts.

It probably won't Read more...

The Cloths of Heaven
Posted by Geraldine Nesbitt on August 15, 2008
I 'met' Shahrukh on Facebook and am really pleased to see her site up and running. As a self published writer I am always looking to 'meet' like minded souls. Once I had self published The Cloths of Heaven I wanted to share my experiences with others, and so my column The Writing Process was born. It is now available article by article on my website

Why didn't I think of writing before?
Posted by Anne Thorn on March 23, 2008
