HOME PAGEWriting for Publication—articles for book authors
The series
Between 1999 and 2012, I wrote a series of online articles on writing, editing, and publishing. My work came to the attention of CBC Radio who described me as "Canada's Dr. Phil of writing and publishing," because my aim has always been to help new authors get real about the book trade and writing for publication. Over the years I updated the articles as needed and they remained online until 2022 when I decided to retire the series, pending revision and republication as an ebook.
