I am not a novelist, poetry is my passion and I have always been awed by written art, such as your books, but I’m finding it difficult to follow my aspirations of being a writer.

Kelly, I would recommend that you join the Absolute Write forums. It’s a great site for writers with tons of information. In addition to that, they have a subsection called “Beta readers, mentors, and writing buddies” that can hook up writers looking for critique partners, critique groups, or beta readers. Good luck!

Your advice is amazing it has actually help me avoid to scams that I nearly fell prey to. So I owe you one for that. But I was wondering if you had any suggestions, my problem is I have written a story and i know I need it to be read for critique analysis, only the people I get to read give me feedback like ‘its really good’ or ‘you have improved’ its nothing really strutural and my friends and family I guess say nice things regardless. How can I get some solid feedback that will help me? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

why do you stop writing about Spade and Denise? You write alot of books for Cat but you dont go on with Spade and denise. even if you just make one more book about them. I would love to see more.

Ben, when you say you’re trying to get published is “local publications” do you mean newspapers or magazines? Because if so, I don’t believe you do need an agent for that (agents are mostly for trying to get a full-length novel published). However, I’m afraid that I don’t have any advice on getting newspaper or magazine articles published. I was never published in those venues prior to my first full length novel coming out.

I’d still suggest Writers Market. I believe there’s a section on short stories / magazine publications.

Please let me know any tips you have for getting published in local publications. I live in Columbus,Ohio and have been under the impression that you hasd to have an agent to get published.

Please let me know…

Thank you for your time.
