A Gryphonwood Press title


Gryphonwood Overview for 2010
The year so far has been fruitful with new G'wood titles. Australian author Alan Baxter has joined the fold with his books RealmShift and MageSign; Jim Bernheimer's recently released his latest, Rider, first in the Spirals of Destiny series; and Earthbow by Sherry Thompson. The long-awaited STREET: Clairvoyance is already in the pipeline for a release in early-to-mid August. Stay tuned for the sequel to The Silver Serpent by David Debord later this year.

Be sure to keep checking back periodically and enjoy our great titles!

Может кто знает как скачать с letitbit ?, если нет, то пишите мне на мыло, я отправлю Вам наглядный пример, а так читайте стабильно новости интернета и знайте, что в сети происходит!
Нашел в сети сайт каталог групп, там размещены самые популярные группы соц. сети odnoklassniki, там есть сообщество, где можно скачать музыку или найти хорошие документальные фильмы для просмотра с родителями, если не любите  док. фильмы, тогда смотрите кино в контакте, в контакте давно уже можно скачать журналы, фильмы, музыку, программы, бесплатно! без СМС, на этом сайте регистрироваться, я к примеру скачал для компьютера программы на руском языке, платные и бесплатные, теперь ищу для фотошопа маски, фильтры, шрифты и т.д
в Германии создали отличные сми-сайты, которые публикуют отличные автоновости, только вот никак не найду порталы посвещённые новостям на тему сборная России, мы даже не знаем как наша сборная готовится к чемпионату Европы, новости спорта  стали реже показывать, сейчас важнее придурашные мультики на МТВ! Если нужен прогон сайта, пишите в личку.
Может кто знает формы где можно найти тосты, Анекдоты, картинки, прикольные истории???
Киньте пару ссылок, будет очень приятно!

Hey Gryphonwood Folks,

Pop on over and read the interview I did with Kindle Author. Hope you find it interesting, and leave a comment if you're so inclined.

Вчера нашел на форуме ссылку на портал каталог групп, там размещены самые популярные группы социальной сети odnoklassniki, есть группы, где скачать музыку или найти хорошие документальные фильмы для просмотра с пацанами, если не любите документальные фильмы, тогда смотрите кино в контакте, vKontakte давно уже можно скачать журналы, фильмы, музыку, программы, бесплатно! без СМС, регистрироваться там, я к примеру скачал для компьютера программы на руском языке, целые и сломаные, теперь ищу для фотошопа плагины, шаблоны, маски и т.д
в Германии есть хорошие сайты, которые публикуют отличные автоновости, только вот никак не найду группы посвещённые новостям на тему сборная России, мы не информированны как наша сборная готовится к чемпионату мира, новости спорта  стали реже показывать, сейчас важнее придурашные мультики на МТВ!
Может кто знает куда выкладывают хорошие тосты, Анекдоты, картинки, прикольные истории???
Киньте пару ссылок, буду рад!

Jonshon,

Some solid advice, but I have a few concerns with what you've proposed for writers who've never attempted to write a novel before:

Take about 6-8 months to write your book; then put it away for 3-4 months to allow yourself time to get over it. Maybe write on something else during that time.

After that 3-4 month interval has passed, pull out your manuscript off of the computer, or the tablet you wrote it on; then check for spelling and/or sentence and punctuation errors. Once you make these notes, make your corrections and find a local critique group-in your neighborhood or online to get a second pair of eyes to give it a once-over.

Spell checking and a grammar check is all that's necssary before handing the first draft over to someone else to read? There is a lot one could look at, such as plot lines, and holes, consistency, character development, dialogue, etc. If you don't those are the things the crit partner will point out, which the author could have repaired himself. Plus, it will make for a very difficult read for the crit partner--an unnecessarily difficult read.

Then, go through it again and polish those fine points, and while you do this, send out queries to agents. Use a book called the Writer's Market or go to http://www.writersmarket.com, and look up an agent who would be able to represent your type of writing.

And just follow that person's advice. They can assist you in getting published at that point. The normal time to do all of this is about 1-3 years, realistically.

I strongly suspect that it will take a little more work than polish to get what is essentially a second draft ready for submission to agents and/or editors. And your advice kind of skips over the essential parts/process of finding an agent to represent one's work, making it seemingly sound like the easy part. It is not really all that easy. Some authors would tell you that finding a publisher is easier than finding an agent.

Just tossing in my two cents. Thanks for taking the time to post and help out those writers trying to get that first novel under their belt.

This is a question that plagues writers and would-be writers all the time. My first part of my response would be: what do you like to write? You have to stimulate your imagination or find a live subject that interests you. Then, decide if you want to write novels, or biographies, or anthologies. Anthologies are books with different short-stories based on a central subject of the book.

Once you figure that out, a little research into that interest is in order. And also, let your imagination be your guide, especially in the fiction area. Then, start writing. Plan about 30-minutes to an hour a day of writing, or roughly 5-10 pages a day; whatever works for you.

Take about 6-8 months to write your book; then put it away for 3-4 months to allow yourself time to get over it. Maybe write on something else during that time.

After that 3-4 month interval has passed, pull out your manuscript off of the computer, or the tablet you wrote it on; then check for spelling and/or sentence and punctuation errors.

Gryphonwood Forum Folks,

I, along with Sherry Thompson, was invited to be part of the Author Roundtable over at author David Wood's Blog, where we discuss the question:
“As a reader and as a writer, what makes a memorable fantasy world for you?”

If you read and/or write fantasy, it might be an interesting read--and don't hesitate to post your opinion and join in on the discussion.

I had a great time at ConCarolinas 2010!  Met a lot of readers, SF/Fantasy enthusiasts, authors and editors and actors...you name it.

I posted a few pics on my blog: ConCarolinas 2010

We've returned home and are recovering from the excitement of the Con. We met lots of wonderful people, and if any of you are stopping by now, welcome!

Some con reports and general thoughts from our authors will probably surface over the next couple of days as we absorb it all.

Regards,
Ryan

Hey Gryphonwood Folks,

I just uploaded my book trailer for Flank Hawk: Flank Hawk Book Trailer

I created it using Photo Story 3, free software from Microsoft. It wasn't too difficult.

Let me know what you think of the trailer (both those who have read Flank Hawk and those who haven't).

Terry

Note: If you have any questions about using Photo Story 3, don't hesitate to contact me.
