Writing is an inherently solitary craft. While the stereotypical image of an author holed up high in an ivory tower simply will not fly nowadays, a writer–after all the workshops, after all the face-to-face research, after all the critiques (and/or support) from friends and family–writes alone. For writing’s sake, and nothing else.
Authors, at the end of the day, are judged by the quality of their work. No amount of hype can substitute for talent, hard work–and a healthy dose of luck.
To my fellow writers, published or soon-to-be published, take heart: we all write alone, but in spirit, we are one.
Hello Jack.
My name is Adam Millard, and I am putting together a Charity Anthology of short horror stories to be published as a print book and a kindle download. I have read some of your work and would be interested to know whether you would like to submit one of your stories for inclusion. The anthology will be entitled ‘Darkness Amongst Us’. If you are interested, my email address is [removed to avoid spam].
Many Thanks
Adam Millard
Hi Adam,
Sorry for the late reply — I haven’t been able to tend to my site until recently. What type of horror fiction are you looking at?
Cheers
Jack
