In good hands with Sam Dunn, editor of Coast Magazine and author of one of my favorite memoirs, Faith in Carlos Gomez. Here’s the link link to the article in the September issue. I hope you enjoy it.
Here’s a flyer for a workshop I give now and then. Email me if you’re interested. Still a few spots left.
Thank you, Richard Polt, author of The Typewriter Revolution, for your wonderful book and inspiration. If you saw the documentary, California Typewriter, you’ve seen Richard and were introduced to the Typewriter Manifesto. The following was written using a Hermes 3000 typewriter and it was inspired by my Literary Posse students.
Debut novelists Yoojin Grace Wuertz, author of Everything Belongs to Us, and Julianne Pachico, author of The Lucky Ones, join Marrie Stone.
Grace discusses the politics and culture of South Korea in the 1970s. Julianne talks about growing up in Columbia, and how perceptions of that country have changed over the past ten years. Both women talk about how being bilingual enriches their craft, and how writing about the countries that feel closest to them have changed their understanding of those places . . . or not.

I’m revising my novel and am looking for tips, so I went online and came across this idea by Darcy Pattison. It calls for shrinking your manuscript so you can see the structure, see your strongest chapters, character arc, etc. This 20-minute YouTube video shows you how. Let me know how it works for you and if you come across any other good methods that help you revise, report back with those, too.
A short but informative article on using trademarked names in your fiction. (Thank you, Don Stanwood). Right here.
