Indie e-Con 2018 Winners!

Note to self: Add "Prize organizer" to my list of people to recruit next year.

Anywho. I'm here to let all of you know who won what in Indie e-Con this year.

To start off: The Book Awards. As there are a lot of these, and they're all so shiny, I've given them their own page. Go check it out, and congratulate these lovely authors on their hard work!

Now, the writing contest. Go here to find out the lovely winners of that contest - and the lovely prizes that they're getting.  The finalist stories will be posted over the course of next week.

Now, for the rest of the winners:

Introducing: The Arista Challenge

Image
Well hello, everyone! I imagine that most of you know about the Rooglewood Fairy Tale contests, where everyone scrambles to rewrite the same fairy tale in hopes that their story will one of the five selected for the coveted collection Five Something Something.  I wrote for three of the four collections, CinderEddy for Five Glass Slippers , Poison Kiss for Five Magic Spindles, and The Seven Drawers and Red as Snow for Five Poison Apples.  Unfortunately, The Seven Drawers  was the only story that I was able to finish in time to send it in (And I'm now waiting with bated breath to find out whether or not I won.) Unfortunately, Poison Apples was their last contest. So, we were talking in the Facebook Group about how sad we'd be to lose the community. And I had a thought. I can't offer a contest, but I can continue the challenge. The picking of a fairy tale and the writing together with fury. I can't offer a single collection with cash prizes, but I can offer a joi

Accurate Dialogue with Kelsey Bryant

I have Kelsey Bryant here with us today to tackle a controversial subject indeed - historically accurate dialogue. We don't live back then, so how can we possibly even come close to sounding like we do? But, then, our readers don't live back then, either, and we might confuse them... Kelsey is the author of the lovely Suit and Suitablity , a Depression-era retelling of Sense and Sensabilty which is my newest favorite book. Seriously, I can't recommend this story highly enough. Kelsey Bryant Christian/Contemporary/Historical Fiction/Retellings Author of Suit and Suitability Website ~ Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook Copyediting Historically accurate dialogue is one of those controversial topics that only historical fiction lovers debate. We know that dialogue is crucial—it brings the world of a book to life, and if it isn’t done right, readers can never fully immerse themselves in that world. So how is historical fiction dialogue done right? Well, her

Handling the Physical with Tammy Lash

Image
How far is too far? Kissing? Handholding? How do you handle the physical part of writing your romances? (I mean, it has to be addressed unless your romance is confined 100% to letter writing). I have Tammy Lash here with us today to talk about just that. Tammy's the author of a lovely romance novel called White Wolf and the Ash Princess , a book that was completely not what I explected and reduced me to a sobbing mess of tears. (Internally, at least.) Over to you, Tammy! Tammy Lash Christian/Romance/Historical Fiction Author of The White Wolf and the Ash Princess Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Instagram ~ Pinterest  Keep Monsters from Your Romance  (Tried and True Monster Rules on How to Handle the Physical in Our Books)     Can you believe it? I’m pushing fifty! I know, I know. I can’t believe it, either. Other people have a hard time believing it, too, I guess—well, at least that’s what my kids tell me. No, I’m not vain enough to th
