While I’d like to tell you my trials and tribulations of formatting on Scrivener (it really is a terrific piece of software), I’m going to spare you, because really, I could (and have been known to) go on for hours. (Besides, I’m getting the hang of it.) The biggest thing I learned (and this will […]

As I recently posted, Fagin’s Boy got an overhaul, courtesy of my editor doing her editorial magic, and me with my butt in the chair doing my writerly best with the revisions.
