Dear Reader,

As we ring in 2019, we are all probably thinking about what we would like to do differently this year. Here at Waking Writer, we have had a great couple of years interviewing fabulous indie authors, showcasing new books, sharing writing tips and news from the literary world. Don’t worry…Waking Writer plans to keep doing that and more in 2019!

Particularly, Waking Writer will be offering more opportunities to participate in writing contests, giving contestants an opportunity to get published on the site. In addition, look forward to a couple of new features and offerings. For example, Waking Writer will be branching out into the visual art domain this year by offering free promotion opportunities for visual artists and photographers. Later in the year, writers also will have the chance to join a Waking Writer Virtual Retreat to get those creative juices flowing and smash any writer’s block that tries to stand in our way this year. 

For now, I want to thank you all for continuing to frequent Waking Writer. I am ever grateful for your readership and engagement. Let’s make 2019 a memorable one here at Waking Writer!

Kindest Regards,

Berneta L. Haynes, Editor
