The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft and creative process advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
Collecting or creating?: If you’re like author Kristin Hacken South and more likely to find inspiration from what you’ve experienced, no matter how mundane, you might find comfort (and ideas) in her musings on her particular version of creativity (Writer Unboxed).
-
How to fix an infodump: Becca Puglisi explains how to identify, remove, and rewrite those sections where you provide too much information — or provide it in a way that drags the story down — so that they spark reader engagement and curiosity, instead (Writers Helping Writers).
-
