• Let’s Talk About Alpha and Beta Readers

  

  But before we start, I’d just like to insert these disclaimers.

Secondly, writers view alpha and beta teams vastly differently. Some swear by alpha and/or beta teams, others…

• A 2021 Writing Update

• My Writing Process (Updated)

  

  So, I’m a published author now. (Look, Ma, I’m famous.) A Study of Ash & Smoke was written, then edited and produced by Skolion, and they wrote an article on how the book was made. In that article, we linked to this post I wrote in 2017, all about my writing process. It’s been just…
