OK, you know right away that we don’t really have all the answers. However, between the 13 of us, we’ve made a ton of mistakes so who better to offer advice than those who’ve swum in the seas no one should have taken?
We Waterworld Mermaids are excited to announce a new feature here in the lagoon: Ask a Mermaid, scheduled to begin next month.
This monthly feature is Dear Abby-type author advice. What kinds of questions will we be answering? So glad you asked. Topics include:
- How do I break up with my critique partner?
- How do I send out review requests that stand out from the crowd?
- One of my friends finaled in a contest and I didn’t. I’m sad, mad and jealous, what do I do now?
- What is the best way to beat the crap out of the doubt demon?
You get the idea. Not only will the Mermaids be offering their two cents, but we’ll be getting guest authors, bloggers, reviewers, agents, editors, publishers and promoters to offer their perspective as well.
Ready to send in a question (yes, we’ll take your comment anonymously)? Click the contact button at the top of the page and send us your Ask a Mermaid question.
I’m so excited we already had our first question sent in and have several mermaids and non-mermaids (AKA publicists and authors) agreeing to answer too. Love. It.
