Spring

Spring is here, though the weather in Northern California remains undecided in that regard. My focus is torn between writing and non writing work and at the moment, the non is taking more of my attention. Like other aspects of life, this is cyclic. In the meantime, not so much traffic here and on twitter but come mid summer that will ease and I can get back into production.

  • Author First Look

    First look provides a read of an emerging writer or indie author’s work in progress via a link to their posted first chapter. These are works in progress – so don’t expect perfection. Check the Author’s Bio for how to connect with the writer and if the writer wants feedback or comment. Enjoy the story, essay or poem. Perhaps it will whet your desire for a future book purchase so you can find out what happens next!

    Do please comment here on this site, on my facebook page or on Twitter, especially if you enjoy this series once it gets going. Please use hashtag #AuthorFirstLook. Thanks for reading.

    Authors retain all rights.

    How to get your own first chapter posted:

    Your chapter or series of 3-5 poems should be posted on your website. Send an email with the permalink and I will link back to your site. Include your short Bio (no more than about 100 words) and any comment about the work or a series synopsis for posting on First Look Pages. If the book is part of a series, give a spoiler warning if warranted.The link to your site will be embedded in your Bio. If you want reader input, be sure to write that in your comments. Once your book is published, make sure to send me the news and I’ll update your Bio.

    Located via the link in the menu at the top of the page. Enjoy your First Look.

  • Three by Five

    Interviews of authors and other interesting people.
  • Free Literary Magazines aka Recycle Reading

    I read a ton of literary magazines. Tossing them in the recycle bin seems so….wrong. Would you like one? Just send me a message on twitter @Vickigeist with snail mail information and I’ll send you one. If so inclined, you can snail a buck or two for the postage. P.O. Box 387, Hayward, CA 94543. You can also just snail a request in if you’d rather with or without that buck or two.
