Hi, all: I'm penta-pubbed in confessional market magazines; unpubbed in book-length, with four ms in progress. In the next ten months I'll be working to complete one, research the best market for it, and send it out.
Thanks for offering the tapes. If I win, I'm interested in one of the following from the list:
TALL, DARK & BELIEVABLE
WRITERS WHO DON’T WRITE RIGHT
HOW TO OUTWIT TRENDS
Thanks! Sherri
Hi Mia,
1) where you are in your writing (pubbed # books/ unpubbed # mss)
Unpubbed 2 completed manuscripts
2) what you hope to accomplish in the next 10 months
I want to complete two new manuscripts and query agents.
I'm interested in getting one of the following tapes (in order of pref):
Tall, Dark & Believable
Time Won't Let You
The Butterfly Effect
Savvy Agent's Guide to Success
Thanks! :)
I have one finished ms and one 60,000-word ms I'm revising to be 90,000 words.
I just sold my completed story to Cobblestone Press.
Two other stories are in progress. One is almost finished, another in the plotting stages.
My top choices would be:
1. SAVVY AGENT’S GUIDE TO SUCCESS 2. SEPARATING SIAMESE TWINS
3. TIME WON’T LET YOU
FYI, I found you via Alison Kent.
Hey, Mia! I drove you to the train station when you spoke to the Virginia Romance Writers last year. I have been a fan ever since. I am just getting started on my first contemporary category--the first of a series that take place in a small town on the river in Virginia's Tidewater. My goal is to complete this manuscript within the next six months. I would love the Teresa Myers tape about branding. I'm thinking ahead!
Hi Mia,
I'm unpublished and doing the final edit on a 52k YA novel. (My second ms) I'm also plotting a sci-fi novel.
In the next ten months I hope to be submitting the novel and have two short stories for submission.
If I win, here's my order of faves:
1)LEARNING TO LISTEN
2)TIME WON'T LET YOU
3)WRITER'S WHO DON'T WRITE WRITE
4)DISCOVERING YOUR AUTHOR BRAND
(but I'm not picky!)
Thank you. BEB
Mia,
I'm published, with three stories, but am seriously looking at changing lines as I don't seem to fit into my old line (Sil. Intimate Moments.) So in the next ten months I hope to have one women's fiction story completed and several inspirationals. I can't go to the National Conference this year (I haven't even been to one, yet) because I plan to do a mission trip to Bolivia this summer, but from that, I hope to get lots of research for some great stories! So as you can see, I would love to get a cassette. I'd take anything, but HOW TO OUTWIT TRENDS or THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT sound especially wonderful!
Thanks,
Barbara Phinney
1) where you are in your writing (pubbed # books/ unpubbed # mss)- One published non-fiction article, one fiction completed and copy edited manuscript, and 150 blog entries (no small thing!).
2) what you hope to accomplish in the next 10 months - Complete a non-fiction book. At this point I have the introduction complete and have completed the outline for the entire book. Now am writing it.

A visitor from Alison Kent's blog.
1) I've published one book (short stories) and have two others in progress.

I'm interested in THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT and WRITERS WHO DON'T WRITE RIGHT.
