Thank you to all the authors, editors, and magazines that made this web
series about writing possible. I was only able to put this
giant ring of essays together, each detailing an author's biggest 'Ah-ha!' moment in
writing, because of all of you.
For those who haven't heard of this web series: What is the Biggest 'Ah-Ha!' Moments in Writing Web-Series?
Who is in this web series you might ask? Below is a list of all the authors involved, as well as a link to their post. Most of the authors are Bram Stoker winners and nominees from the last ten years or so. I hope you will read this, remembering to pass it on to other writers and people who have a love of writing. Remember, this 'web book' was put together for all new writers, so they would have a free resource to study their craft.
Please feel free to share this web-ring with others.
