Shalla Recommends: Online Writers Group

Thanks everyone!

Shalla here!

Who will be our next featured guest?

A lit agent?

A publisher?

An editor?

Find out, stay tuned!

At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, we have very helpful Q&A’s and seminars--but writers need more.

If you're a member of only one group, you're missing out.


Don’t like getting too many emails? Get them on Digest.

How to choose Digest instead of Emails?

When you join the group, it will ask you if you like No Mail (I wouldn’t recommend this, because you might miss out on good info), Digest, or Daily Mail. Choose Digest.



Anyway, good luck writers!

At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group,

we are all-inclusive.

Thanks!

Shalla

Online Writers Groups Shalla Recommends

Hi writers,

As you know, I encourage all of you to join more than one online writers group. Many are free and each one has good things to offer.

At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, we have very helpful Q&A’s.

But writers need more. So, in the coming days, I will be recommending writers groups you may also like to join.

For instance, like to know about Chick Lit? The Industry? What’s going on particularly in that market? There is an online chick lit group.

Like to be in a group who writes Romance? Ask questions like, how to conquer writers block? How to find a title for your novel? Etc. There are groups for that too.

I belong to over 2 dozen online groups and I highly recommend it. They’re usually free.

Don’t like getting too many emails? Get them on Digest.
(That way, you only get one email per group per day, or less)







How to choose Digest instead of Emails?

When you join the group, it will ask you if you like No Mail (I wouldn’t recommend this, because you might miss out on good info), Digest, or Daily Mail. Choose Digest.

For the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, since we usually only have informative emails, ie. Call-4-Submission, Conference, Contests etc. and since we’re only moderated one a week or so, you won’t be getting much email and when you do, they’re ones you can use, I would suggest getting us on Email and not Digest. (Makes sure you don’t miss out on our Q&A’s)

Anyway, good luck writers. At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, we are all-inclusive, as long as the info is helpful to writers.

Thanks,

Shalla
