THE ROOM: A #WriterWednesday Blog by Danielle K. Roux

I once dreamed of a space in exclusively for writing. A library with shelves of books stacked so high that a an old-fashioned step ladder is a functional necessity, not just a decorative object. A desk at a window facing the ocean or a mountain range or a city skyline. Something wild and endless. The desk would be massive with space enough for coffee mugs and notebooks and pens and my laptop. The chair I sit in while I create worlds and people would be high-backed and cushion

A Harsh & Heartbreaking Labor of Love, Kathryn Lee Martin's Debut Experience

Today I want to talk about an opportunity as a writer that usually doesn’t happen to me that often. I was recently invited to speak to a delightful group of young writers at Mercersburg Academy’s Young Writers Camp summer program in Mercersburg, PA and host a book signing with them. It was a large group this year (about 37 kids not including instructors and camp counselors) and let me tell you, they were fired up and ready to learn about the publication process! So I told the

Writer Wednesday: Inspiring Nightmares

When I was little, I would have nightmares on a regular basis. I've got a lot of theories as to why, (Maybe because I grew up in a haunted house?

They got tired of it eventually though and encouraged me to go back to sleep on my own. It was part of growing up to be honest. One nigh

Writer Wednesday: Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Writing takes time. Everybody understands that, but few have the diligence and determination to finish a piece of writing. Even fewer seek publication, and then there’s the small percentage that not only find a publisher, they find a good one. I’ll agree that I’ve been fortunate to have my work picked up by two excellent small publishers: Radiant Crown Publishing and The Parliament House Press. However it wasn’t all just luck. It took years of rejection, negotiations, and bro

Writer Wednesdays: "Where Do I Start?"

The Parliament House Press is full of amazing, creative writers, and we thought it would be fun (and important) to share their tips, tricks and secrets in how to be a writer! You don't have to be 'published' to be considered a successful writer. It all begins with the typing (or writing) of a single word. Amber Duell, author of the upcoming novel "Dream Keeper," shares her tips on "How to write a book." Take a look! ------------- So many people have asked, “I’d love to write
