Her writing just keeps improving.

A member of the Writers’ Boot Camps announces:

I’ve just heard that my entry in a short story competition has been shortlisted and will appear in an anthology that is to be published very soon.

She continues:

Again, I consider my success due to all that I am learning from Holly and her fabulous courses. I am almost finished HTTS, part way through Create A Character Clinic, and Create a Plot Clinic, and I’m about to start on How To Write Page-Turning Scenes. I’ve done a few of Holly’s other short courses, as well.

This writer’s first book was published in 2010, and she expects her next book to shine even more brightly, thanks to the skills she has gained here at Holly Lisle’s Writers’ Boot Camps.  Huzzah!

NEW! Private Boards: Student/ Grad Feature

Posted on by

Students who have been enrolled in the course through at least lesson six, and all grads, may request a private, password-protected board with which to work with a crit parter (or crit partners).

These boards take a bit of time for me to set up, so will be created on a first-requested, first served basis on my schedule.

Here are the Private Board rules:

Please note that these boards will ONLY work for enrolled students or graduates of the Think Sideways course. Your course membership is what gives you access to them—your password restricts access to those students you’ve invited to join you, but will not allow non-students to use your board.

Boards are provided for course-related and writing-related work, and the normal discussions that arise from such work. Boards used for purposes other than working on writing will be deleted. (Examples: Turning your board into an online dating service or virtual frat party.)

Boards that go without posts for more than three months will be considered abandoned. Participants will be given notice, but if none respond, board and contents will be deleted without further notice.

If you would like a private board, send me a private message (Log In: You can then use the PM link from this linked post) and include your Student ID and the Student IDs of your crit partners.
