Dear Mamas, (from April’s The Writer Mama Zine)

I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.

That’s right: Taxes!

Nothing like waiting until the last minute. Of course, that wasn’t the plan. It’s never the plan. But when it happens, there is only one thing to do. Roll up the ol’ sleeves and dig in!

Truth told, I kind of enjoy the feeling of satisfaction that comes…when the taxes are all through.

How about you?

In the writing-for-publication spirit,

Christina Katz
The Writer Mama

P.S. If you were hoping to get into one of the April classes, there is still room in Pitching Practice! If you have taken WPSS and/or Targeting Your Best Writing Markets, I’d love to have you. Please read more about all the upcoming classes including a brand new one, Personal Essays that Get Published with Writers on the Rise managing editor, Sage Cohen. Head over to the Classes Registration Page to learn more.

To read more about how I’m springing forward this April, please read my “Dear Fellow Writers” column from Writers on the Rise this month.

P.P.S. If you are a former student of mine and you are interested in writing book reviews (typically books on or about writing or writers that you procure for free as “a review copy”) for my new blog Christina Katz Recommends, please contact me at writersontherise@earthlink.net and let me know.

I often receive requests to write for my zines, but columnist selections are made by September of each year for the entire next year. So review-writing is a great way to get your pen in the door, so to speak.


GET KNOWN WHILE YOU SLEEP

Do you want to get known so you can garner the attention of agents and editors and land a book deal? If so, my next book, GET KNOWN BEFORE THE BOOK DEAL is just the book for you! Coming October 2008 from Writer's Digest Books Sign up for the e-zine
