Arcanewriter
Arcanewriter is a new blog designed to motivate inexperienced writers to do what they love most: write! This blog was created to give advice to those who struggle with writing and at the same time help improve their writing skills. Once we get more followers, arcanewriter will begin to hold contests where people submit their work and the winner will get their work published on our blog. The winner will also get a spot on our winner’s page where their blog will be promoted for as long as they like. To keep the contest fair and more interesting, the contestants may only write about a subject we give them for a short period of time. But, to keep it fun, we’ll allow the writer to twist the subject any way they like. For
example, if the subject is pets, we’ll happily allow the pet to be a dragon or a rock (if done right). This is a great opportunity to get your work recognized and get praised for all the hard work that comes from writing. Don’t miss out, you never know who might end up reading your stories!

Your Writing and How to Take It Further
Hey yeah writers—check out our first guest blog, from indie new publisher Rowanvale Books. If you’re looking to semi-self publish, definitely check them out! In the mean time, these are great tips that they shared with us to help you have a very well-rounded writerly life. Enjoy! -Liv
Join a Writers’ Group or club in your area. Not only will you meet new people, and potentially good friends and contacts, but it never hurts to get a bit of objective advice. You will improve your critiquing skills by discussing others’ work, which you can then apply to your own writing. You also may well gain valuable nuggets of information that extend further than ‘writing’ itself – groups often discuss publishing as an industry, e-books, bookshops, agents, courses, and who knows what else. Writers’ Groups sometimes have speakers, too, which provide excellent networking opportunities with authors, editors, publishers and agents. The same goes for conferences, if you can get to them, and there a fair few webinars out there too.
