Looking to improve your craft and gain knowledge of the writing industry? If so, tune into the Storywonk Daily Podcast, produced by fabulous chick lit / romance author Lani Diane Rich and Alaistair Stephens.

And while you’re at it, check out The Loft, McMillan’s Twitter and Facebook groups for fans of contemporary romance, chick lit and women’s fiction. The group is moderated by our very own chapter member Kwana Jackson (who’ll be visiting our blog on Monday). Nice that a major publisher is giving special attention to our favorite genre(s), right?

No time to write? Maybe that’s not a problem, as long as you’ve got time to sleep:
