Writing Themed Giveaway (Synopsis, Endings & Publication)
Janelle Icon

Since we don’t have a writing related blog today, I’m giving away a THREE writing related booklets: 12 Steps to Publication (An indispensable guide to writing romance in today’s market), How to Write a Synopsis (by Phyllis Taylor Pianka), and How to Write Dynamite Endings (by Anne Holmberg, AKA: Anne Avery). These booklets are from my personal library and are chocked full of some great information!

If you would like a chance to win this writing reference book, all you need to do is post a note on today’s blog, then check back tomorrow (Sunday) to see if you’re name was drawn as the winner! Also the winner of our 12/20 contest, Gillian, never contacted Julie…please do so if you want your prize, or it goes back into the hopper to be won again another day!

Janelle

JanelleJanelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

    These books look like a great start on a reference library. Thanks for all the great 2008 writing blogs. Hope the 2009 blogs will be just as great.
