Be an Author—Article Index

My Be an Author series provides advice and tips on how to be an author. Writing well is fundamental to being an author, but my articles will also address the writing life. While I discuss much that is applicable to FimFiction, my background is that I am an SF author. As such, I will address real world writing issues from my experience and, arguably, some of it will be my opinion on subjects. I do recommend reading the comments my readers have left as they have given me an opportunity to refine each article. I will add to the index as I add articles. I will add a link to this page at the end of each article. You may wish to bookmark it.
