I am delighted to announce that the good people at Intrepidus Ink have invited me to run a guest series of short craft essays. If you haven’t already been following their blog series, definitely check it out. There are some excellent essays on conflict and worldbuilding, writing emotion and action, branding and much more.

Reflecting their love of flash, all of II’s craft essay’s are short, but packed with insights, examples, and practical advice on how to “get it right.”

I always love working with II’s editor in chief, Rhonda Schlumpberger. She’s smart and talented, and has the ability of helping every story, every essay be the best it can be while staying true to the writer’s vision. She’s probably one of the kindest, most supportive and positive editors in the industry. As an author, I couldn’t ask for a better partner for my work.

The first essay is now live – I hope you enjoy it!
