If you're in Brockville on Oct. 4th, come by the Reader's Harvest. I have a table and will be selling/signing my books. Heck, stop by just to say hello and chat (those are free).
The show is on from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Brockville Memorial Civic Centre with free admission.

Hey everybody! Just here to share my experience with a really great man who helped give me a starting point for writing when I was young.

Oh boy, no that's not okay. Just take the criticism and learn from it, or don't look at reviews.

johnhaasauthor.bsky.social @johnhaasauthor.bsky.social · Jul 21

I got a semi-negative review of a story once (though they said they liked my writing style). They pointed out something negative I hadn't noticed. When writing the next thing I took their critique into consideration and it made my story better.

You might be wondering what I use to edit my stories after I've actually written them, and having the right process and tools can be a make-or-break for many writers!

I would say this is one of the most important pieces of information I could give to a beginning author, which is where to look to find submission places. Check it out and let me know how it works for you!
