Reasons for picking up Writer’s Digest and Reader’s Digest
I didn't plan it this way, but I have work in the recent issues of both Writer's Digest and Reader's Digest (Canada). So October is all about the Digests, yo. The only hitch is that neither piece is online as of now. So you need to get the print editions. (Or buy the digital edition of WD!)
For Writer's Digest, I wrote an essay about my experience correcting errors in my book, Regret The Error. It's somewhat similar to the monologue I did for Definitely Not The Opera recently. One difference is that my WD piece offers advice to writers about preventing errors. And it includes an image of the accuracy checklist I produced earlier this year.
As for Reader's Digest, the current issue in Canada includes a lengthy excerpt from the Mafiaboy book. And Michael "Mafiaboy" Calce is on the cover. We're really thrilled about his.
