An Authors Defining Moments Unraveled by Author Abbe Rolnick I remember my sixth-grade English teacher. Fresh out of college she walked in the door with an attitude. Flawless in looks, organized, and a stickler for rules, I hated her. My handwriting was atrocious no matter how hard I tried to open the scrawl. I often left out periods, overused the comma, and worse yet, I extended my margins. Assignment after assignment met with red marks, comments and deductions for my weaknesses. All …

Pulpwood Newsletter Article: Diving Into Research By Jessica James
When I look back over my career(s), it’s painfully evident that I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up. Thanks to my love of animals (especially all things equine), I started out as a veterinary technician at a state-of-the-art horse hospital. But guess what? Being around sick and injured horses every day is a pretty depressing occupation for an avid horse lover. I just couldn’t do it. So back to college I went for a degree in Journalism. I lasted 18 years in a …

Pulpwood Newsletter Article: Old Houses And ‘Writing Angels’ by Jessica James
I love old houses. Always have. In fact, the house I live in is more than 200 years old (and only had an outhouse when I purchased it). My vacations always include a visit to a Southern plantation, and if there is an open house at a historic home within 100 miles, I do everything in my power to attend. To me, it’s almost a spiritual experience to walk through the old halls, listen to the squeak of the floorboards, touch the smooth handrails and try to imagine all of the souls that have done …

Pulpwood Newsletter Article: How to Bake Ruggelach with Mom by Laura Davis
How to Bake Ruggelach with Mom Dig through the ratty blue file folder you keep your oldest recipes in. Inside, find a lopsided mess of stacked, stained, crispy, ancient papers. They’re not organized into neat categories, or any categories; they’re just shoved in there with no rhyme or reason. But you like it the way it is. You like that it smells musty like old flour and spilled yeast, dried soy sauce and sprinkles of cayenne. Some of these recipes you’ve been carrying in the same …

Pulpwood Newsletter Article: So, You Think It Was Always a Memoir? by Laura Davis
So, You Think It Was Always a Memoir? When you pick up a book you love, you may think that the author always intended to write it that way—that they conceived of the novel or the memoir to be just the way it turned out—they just had to execute it. Right? Wrong. At least for this author, who writes from the gut and the heart, that was never the case. I’ve just published my seventh book, a memoir, The Burning Light of Two Stars, a mother-daughter estrangement and reconciliation story, a …

August 2021 – Pulpwood Newsletter Article: What You Want in a Story, I Want Too by Susan Wingate
As a kid, I loved stories like Charlotte’s Web, Black Beauty, and Old Yeller, to name only a few. When I got a little older, the books became more edgy. I was also in acting and involved in dance, so I was reading a bunch of plays from the likes of William Shakespeare, Anton Chekov, and George Bernard Shaw. One of my favorite musicals was Jesus Christ Superstar. And, yes, I watched the remake in 2018 with John Legend and loved that one too. Again, as I got older, the books I read …
August 2021 – Pulpwood Newsletter Article: THE ELUSIVE LITERARY AGENT by Susan Wingate
One big goal for writers who want to be published by legacy publishers is to retain the services of a literary agent. Literary agents are key to authors selling their work. We consider them the gatekeepers of the publishing industry. They are the gatekeepers because they work as an added filter for publishers of either nonfiction or fiction. I write fiction so I look for agents who represent and who sell works of fiction. Most agents represent both but sometimes an agent will specialize in one …
