I've just gotten the word that women who are writing family-related stories — whether histories, memoirs or novels based on real life — will have a great resource come September when Key Publishing House introduces:
Women Writing on Family: Tips on Writing, Teaching and Publishing
The anthology of how-to articles offering practical advice is being co-edited by Carol Smallwood and Suzann Holland and will feature my article titled Family Secrets: How to Reveal What Matters Without Getting Sued, or Shunned. The book is already available for pre-order on Amazon.
Just out of curiosity, how many of you out there are currently writing stories related to family? If so, what are you writing about?

All my books are about families. This is a great source of help, Martha. Thanks!
You are so fast, Joylene! When you can, let me know what method you use for checking friends' blogs regularly. Do you use an RSS feed for each and just note when there's a new addition, or do you keep a list and simply check each every day?
Whatever method you use, I clearly need to learn from you!
I am writing an ongoing story of our family and how we are adapting to the changing world. We are growing most of our own food, raising our meat and trying to teach others how to be poor and happy. This looks like it would be a good book to check out. Thanks Martha.
Hey Kate.
I just finished checking out your blog. Very inspiring! Consider checking out my friend, Byddi Lee's blog, We Didn't Come Here for the Grass. She's an Irish gal who's a biologist, and among other things, has grown not only a great garden, but a great community of sustainable-minded gardening folks.

Thanks for the shout out, Martha! I too enjoyed Kate's Blog. And I agree - most stories involve some rendition of family life on way or another. Great resource.
