WooT!
Remember the book I mentioned a couple of posts back? Well, I cobbled up a short story based on the main character and submitted it to Beyond Centauri, a print magazine featuring science fiction and fantasy stories for kids. They accepted it! I'm so pleased. :)
After writing nonfiction for soooo long, it's kind of scary to think of myself as a fiction writer. But I'm giving it a shot. Wish me luck!
For information on Beyond Centauri (and the writer's guidelines), visit Sam's Dot Publishing.
And on a serious note:
Please take a moment today to remember September 11 and all the folks affected by the events of that horrific day. God bless.
About Me
- Anne C. Watkins
- Way out in the country, Alabama, United States
- I'm the author of THE CONURE HANDBOOK and a Contributing Editor for PET AGE Magazine. I have numerous credits in publications like Chicken Soup for the Soul (five volumes), Cup of Comfort, Chocolate for Women, more than two dozen Guideposts books, Angels on Earth, Bird Talk, FATE, Animal Wellness, Birmingham Parent, and lots more. Occasionally I evaluate manuscripts and book proposals for Barron's, and I do a little ghostwriting and freelance editing on the side. I could spend all day every day with a pair of binoculars pressed to my eyeballs, watching all the fascinating bird activity around my home. But my most important (and favorite) job by far is being Grammie to my three fabulous grandchildren: Bailey, Chelsea and Tyler. They put the magic and music in my life!

That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you. I do indeed wish you the very best of luck. :)
Thank you, Hilary! I appreciate it! I've had a handful of fiction pieces pubbed over the years, but this is the first one in this genre. Fun. :)
Hey, good for you Anne! You're stretching your writing wings. :)
Thanks, Frank! :)
Hi Anne.. I read through you website and found your work interesting. I'm a new literary agent and have worked inside book publishing for over 30 years. Go to JanKardys.com and you will see my background.
I wanted to let you know about a major writers conference that you might wish to sign up for in April 10, 2010 in Stratford, CT. It will cover every dept within a book publisher and all the genres.
Hope you can review the site at unicornwritersconference.com. Thanks. Jan
Hi Jan,
Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment! I'll visit your links and check out the conference info. Unfortunately, though, I'm afraid a trip to Stratford, CT is out of this writer's budget. :)
