Promote yourself — a day late!

Promo day was supposed to be Friday.

But the horrible news in the US and prep for my son’s birthday knocked me a little off course.

So. For today:

What’s something of yours we should buy or check out? Do you have a mailing list?

I’ll go first: I’m hosting a webinar tomorrow at 2pm on three “big mistakes” novelists can make. I kind of hate that title — I don’t like making people feel bad about their writing — but that does describe accurately the plan for the webinar… Regardless, I think the session will be really good.

Sign up here:

I’ll describe the three problems, we’ll have at least one writing session, and I’ll end by reminding everyone to register for my paid workshop, the September CFW.

I’ve begun skipping a lot of those titles on YouTube videos but I do still take a look at them if the title includes - “…and how to fix them!”

I write a lot of fanfiction when I’m not working on my own stuff.

Some of this stuff is old, but it really shows how my writing style has changed over the years. There’s some great recent stuff too, including some contest-winners on here:

I started self publishing this year. I write YA Fantasy. My first book came out in April, my second in the series came out in August. I am happy with my choice to Self vs Trad, but I’m just getting started with the marketing stuff. It’s harder than writing the actual book.

I’d love to share a story I wrote for Reedsy’s short story contest. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun writing a story than I did with this one.
It’s called ‘The Big Hairdryer Sucks’, and put in the briefest of terms, it’s about upward rain. https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/contests/59/submissions/34836/

I’d love to hear from you if you do give it a read.

And if you enjoy it, you can get more of my short stories at https://matthewwardwrites.com/glimpses

Have an awesome rest of your day! And thanks, Daniel, for the opportunity to share.
