How do you become a part of it?
1. Join a critique or social writing group
2. Follow editors, agents, and other authors on social media
3. Attend book signings and speak with authors
4. Attend writing conferences, workshops, and conventions
5. Join writing organizations like GLAHW (Great Lakes Association of Horror Writers), MWA (Mystery Writers Association), and HNS (Historical Novel Society)
6. Want to be a part of books and book people


Keep Writing and Edit On.
I Write, I Edit, I Write Again. Witness!
We're Making Better Words, All of Them, Better Words.
I Write to Burn Off the Crazy.

    My name is Jen Haeger and I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine as well as a Master's in Forensic Science, so I decided to forget all that and write  novels. I used to read quite a bit as a youth, but was not introduced to truly spectacular writing until my husband showed me the works of Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and others. We are both enormous dorks and enjoy Science Fiction, Fantasy, Board Games, and RPGs, but also try to get out backpacking every once in a while (much easier to do when we lived in New Zealand). Cheers!
