WI-FI fast, DSL medium, or dial-up slow!

Remind your friends to subscribe to our e-zine so they don't miss the next issue!

You may send your fast friends directly to https://app.quicksizzle.com/survey.aspx?sfid=13065 to make the process quick and easy.

As the DSL Turtles say, "Fast is not for everyone." Some folks aren't sure they want to sign up for new things until they have had a taste of what's to come. So, you can give your less-decisive friends a lollipop link and send them to this site (the one you're on now) on a slow boat to learn more about the e-zine.

If your friends are super deficient in their reading quota for the year, you may have them read our archived issues from 2006 to 2009 on our Web site: http://writersinthesky.com/writing-newsletter.html#archives.

WI-FI fast, DSL medium, or dial-up slow, there's a way for everyone to get their fix of WITS E-zine!

Writers in the Sky E-zine March 2009

It's the first Tuesday of the month and the entire WITS E-zine has been published and emailed to those on our permission-based subscription list.

If you are reading this post right here on our blog, you may notice that we post the individual features/columns/sections of the e-zine in intervals over the course of the month. If you have subscribed to the RSS feed of our e-zine blog (which is a very good idea), you will get a notice whenever we post something on the e-zine blog.

However, if you just can't wait for the sections to go live, you can read the entire March 2009 e-zine now!

Writers in the Sky E-zine February 2009

It's the first Tuesday of the month and the entire WITS E-zine has been published and emailed to those on our permission-based subscription list.

If you are reading this post right here on our blog, you may notice that there's no February e-zine here to read. That's because we took a vote and everyone agreed that anticipation and patience, as outlined in option 3, is a great virtue. Therefore, we will post the individual features/columns/sections of the e-zine in intervals over the course of the month. If you have subscribed to the RSS feed of our e-zine blog (which is a very good idea), you will get a notice whenever we post something on the blog.

However, if you just can't wait for the sections to go live (who could blame you?), you can read the entire February 2009 e-zine now!

Writers in the Sky E-zine January 2009

It's the first Tuesday of the month and the entire WITS E-zine has been published and emailed to those on our permission-based subscription list.

If you are reading this post right here on our blog, you may notice that there's no January e-zine here to read. That's because we took a vote and everyone agreed that anticipation and patience, as outlined in option 3, is a great virtue. Therefore, we will post the individual features/columns/sections of the e-zine in intervals over the course of the month. If you have subscribed to the RSS feed of our e-zine blog (which is a very good idea), you will get a notice whenever we post something on the blog.

E-zine Poll

We're taking a poll and need your input to improve this writing e-zine. 

I posted all the newsletter material in one long post yesterday, which is how the e-zine usually goes out to readers on the subscriber list. However, since this is a blog, it may need to be posted a little at the time.

Tell me what best suits your needs for receiving this information:

1. Keep it as it is. I like looonnnnggg posts.

2. You're killing me, here. Post weekly, a mini version of the e-zine with one article, a small networking section, one poem, two book reviews, and the featured podcast guest for the week.

3. I'm in information overload, but I need something to look forward to. Please post one section of the e-zine every few days or so.

Use the comment feature below to leave your answer. The majority wins, so be sure to vote as often as you like! ;)

Calling for Submissions

I have space for three more articles about writing, editing, publishing, or book marketing in the December issue of Writers in the Sky E-zine. If you can tie the writing topic into something about the holidays, that would be even better.

Submission Guidelines for WITS E-zine

If you wish to contribute an article, advertorial, blurb, or announcement about writing, editing, publishing, or book marketing, please review the guidelines below and email your item to katie at writersinthesky dot com. Material that does not conform to these guidelines may not be accepted.

• Articles must be content rich and pertain to the craft or business of writing, editing, publishing, or book marketing. Include your name and a short bio with your article so you may be given proper credit. You may include one link to your blog or Web site. Promotion of your own services is accepted if your piece offers good content that does not compete with services offered by WITS. Limit articles to 500 words or less.
  
  
• All book, movie, TV program, and CD album titles should be in italics, do not use "quotation marks" or ALL CAPS.


• Announcements of upcoming events, personal accomplishments, special offers, and such are accepted. Keep these to 250 words or less, and do not include more than two links with each blurb. You may submit more than one blurb.


• No text boxes or photos will be accepted.


• We run five book reviews per issue; those written by the WITS team receive priority. Other book reviews will be featured on our e-zine blog.


• Poetry is accepted. One short work per person (less than 20 lines) will be published in each issue. Put your name at the bottom of your poem. You may include a short bio and a link to your blog or Web site.
  

Each contributing writer retains the copyright to his or her own piece of literature and may use it elsewhere. Since WITS does not charge a fee for the newsletter, we are unable to pay for submissions. However, the networking opportunity and exposure to approximately thousands of readers is priceless.

The newsletter will be sent on the first Tuesday of each month. All items must be received by the 24th day of the month prior.
