LETTER
FROM THE
EDITOR
W
hy do people like to read Southern Writers Magazine?
Because of the authors in each issue. They invite us
into their worlds and share their lives with us. And
they are most gracious and giving in sharing their writing tips and
techniques that have made them a success.
We are all on this journey together and it is nice to know that
helping hands are always outstretched from caring authors. Through
their kindness and generosity writers can hone their skills by reading
the methods they use and see it in action by reading their books.
The next few months we will see the birth of new leaves and
flowers budding and opening, a beautiful time of year. With these
births we will also see the birth of new books releasing for our
reading pleasure. Being an avid reader, I am anxious for the new
books.
We have added new authors to our Gallery of Stars and enjoy
promoting the authors and their books to readers throughout
the year. Having a magazine promote you and your books is like
having a built-in staff of promoters.
Our author’s community, Suite T, is always a delight to visit.
Authors talk about writing, promoting and marketing. Have you
been a guest on Suite T?
It’s important that readers see an author’s name repeatedly. You
can never have to much exposure in publicity.
This is also a great time of year to plan out your continuing
education. From a Master’s in Creative Writing (Reinhardt
University) to conferences being held across the country, writer
groups––there are plenty of avenues for us to hone our skills. As
writers we need to continue to learn our craft, after all, change is
constant.
Happy Writing!
Susan Reichert
