A note from our publisher:

Hi there! I hope you’re enjoying the fantastic fall weather and getting ready to enjoy the upcoming holidays.

I wanted to let you know about the new Writer’s Digest survey and encourage you to participate. Whether you’re an aspiring author, or one who’s already been published, the information you can provide is of great importance to the publishing industry, enabling you to tell publishers, editors, agents, and self-publishing service providers what really matters, why you write, and what you want.

The survey is designed to analyze publishing trends and author attitudes towards traditional publishing, self-publishing, agents, social media, and more. The data from last year’s survey has been used by savvy publishers and agents to ensure they know what’s most important to authors and what they need to do to stay competitive with self-publishing.

Take the survey by 11/30/13 and let them know what you think: www.surveymonkey.com/s/D77B3D6. Once you’ve finished, make sure to register for your chance to win a Kindle Fire!

Enjoy the holidays – and, as always, keep writing!
