Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

Here the druids build new monuments as they move around north America and make themselves a new sanctuary alongside new friends. As part of the Grove we follow exactly t …
