Congratulations!

One of the women in my writing critique group has published two fiction novels and one nonfiction and is working on her third fiction. The fiction novels are a series. Prior to this she was a professional and thinking about retiring. Now she spends time writing and promoting her books. And yes, her advance was tiny and she hardly makes anything.

Just curious if you belong to a critique group?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
