Dear #WickedWriters,
Remember when I said I was going to publish a newsletter once a week— well clearly that didn’t happen.
I will be sending updates more intermittently due to a variety of reason, but I wanted to make sure you all had a chance to listen to the episodes posted for Season 3 so far:
Jonathan Harris_Master of Ceremonies_April 27, 2021:In March 2016, Jonathan published his debut book, “Master of Ceremonies: A Male’s Guide for a Successful Life." In February 2020, he became the owner of Jharris Publishing, LLC to help more aspiring authors feel comfortable telling their story. In July 2020, Jonathan released his 2nd and 3rd books "Growing Gents" and "Girls With Pearls." Learn more at https://www.authorjon.com/.
Jennifer Dupee_The Little French Bridal Shop_ April 19, 2021: Jennifer Dupee's debut novel, The Little French Bridal Shop, was published by St. Martin's Press on March 9, 2021. Visit her website to order a copy: https://www.jenniferdupee.com/.
Emily Edwards_FBOL_April 13, 2021: Emily Edwards is the creator and host of a comedy podcast about books where she and a guest discuss toxic personalities from the world of Western lit. FBOL can be found on all podcast platforms. When Emily isn’t reading or chatting about books, she is writing her own. She specializes in historical mysteries with a modern, feminist twist. Visit her website at https://www.fuckboisoflit.com/.
I’m going to do something a little different— a “where are they now?!” section. Yes, it hasn’t been that long since these guests were on the pod, but they have been up to amazing things that I want to update you all on! If I missed any major milestones for our previous guests, let me know at hello@wickedwriters.org.
Where are they now:
Sara Letourneau of Heart of the Story Editorial & Coaching Services will be hosting a talk through the Editorial Freelancers Association, Boston Chapter, on creating a newsletter and increasing readership on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. She also wrote a great article for Acts of Revision entitled Eight Tips for Revising Your Poetry.
BellaBianca Lynn published her first interview on her Unveiling Authors page with memoirist Ellen O' Connell Whittet, author of "What You Become in Flight” where she shares her unconditional love for dance and writing process. Her poem “Bending Moment” is also a poetry finalist for the Adelaide Literary Award 2020
