Hi Everybody,
I've been hard at work to make the Literary League website--well prettier, more approachable and more useful. I've created icons for the articles and I'll be changing the main page again soon to make it even more accessible.
To help me with these tasks, I've been taking classes at my local community college. They've been a big help in my goal to make the LitLeague website the go to website for writers. It does not take much to get me to take classes--the joke in my family is that we're all professional students!
We've had our first update to the Writing Contests list and a new article on characterization was posted last night. There are several other articles in the works, and a new one on plotting by Grace Myers will be posted Monday.
In just about two weeks, Julia Canchola will submit a list of Writers Conferences. In early June she will submit a list of Editors and Agents.
I'm doing all this because I'm an aspiring writer so I'm going to sign off now to work on a book I want to pitch at the National Conference of Romance Writers of America in June.
All the best,
Eileen

Looking for feedback from writers
Hello Everybody,
The Literary League website (http://www.literaryleague.com/) is humming along. New this month is a regular feature, a list of writing contests. We kicked off this feature with 53 and this list will be updated every month. Many writers I've known sign up for contests for two reasons: (1) contests will often give a critique of the entry; and (2) it looks good on a query letter say you've won a contest. The prizes are not usually the motivating factor as they are usually fairly modest.
Next month we will have another new feature; a list of Writers Conferences. This feature will also be updated monthly. Conferences are valuable to both unpublished writers and best selling authors since they provide opportunities to network, pitch your work, and for education.
It's now time for all of you writers and authors out there to let me know what you would like to see on the website. For example, several people have asked me about how to Copyright their work so there will soon be a series of articles covering this on the website. So, if there's something you're dying to know about, please let me know.
Now, get writing.
