Welcome to the fourth issue of the SPARREW Newsletter! This is a newsletter for self-publishers, authors, readers, reviewers, editors and writers! Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter! I hope you enjoy reading this issue!
Some of you on this mailing list may be familiar with a medical issue I had nearly five years ago which required hospitalization. During recovery, I was unable to write, and I started to think I may never write again.
But life has a funny way of proving us wrong.
I did eventually start writing again, and I was thrilled when I was able to write a whole book again (which is currently with a publisher). But one of the tasks I set upon when I knew I was ready to tackle writing fiction again was finishing up The GHOST Group series, which I started back in 2012!
For some reason, I got the first 4 books in this 12-book series written up and published and then … I moved on to other things.
But after hitting that “reset” button for my writing life, I knew it was time to prioritize my WIPs. This included the fiction I was writing.
I noticed that the old “writer me” just wrote book after book without doing anything with them. I soon had a nice collection of first drafts on my computer!
However, the NEW “writer me” is not okay with that sort of thing!
These days, I see a book until the end. I get it written, fixed up, and submitted. I stay with the book until it gets an acceptance somewhere. Or, if I decide to self-publish it, then I stay with it until it’s published.
That said, I’m back to work on the GHOST Group series. YAY! All novels and novellas I have to edit/revise/submit have been put on the back burner. For now, as far as fiction books are concerned, I am only focusing on seeing this entire series, and not just the next book in the series, until the end. (Sidenote: I have no trouble writing and editing short fiction while also working on The GHOST Group, so expect to see news about short stories in the future!)
In fact, the latest installment in this series has now been published! That’s right: The GHOST Group, Book Three, is now available for purchase at Smashwords, Barnes & Noble and Amazon. This one contains stories 5 and 6, which are for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. I am currently at work on the 7th and 8th stories (for the 4th of July and Friendship Day holidays), and I plan to get those out, too, for Book Four. Once those are also out, stories 5-8 will be published in print, to complement the first GHOST Group print book.
I am excited to be working on this series again. And after I finish this particular series, I will move on to the next fiction books!
For now, I’m sticking with the GHOST Group until the end, and I really think this is a better way for me to go, as an author.

Author Interview with Pamela K. Kinney
1. When did you start writing?
I was always writing something story-wise since I was eight years old. But I was first published at age 17, in a poetry magazine, Hyacinths and Biscuits, back in Spring 1972. These were three poems of mine, “The Horse,” “The Leopard,” and “Sands of Time.”
2. What was your journey towards becoming an author like?
I began with poetry, an article about a friend in True Story Magazine (which I got paid!), short stories, then novels and nonfiction ghost books. The past few years were about promoting the books. My latest nonfiction book, Werewolves, Dogmen, and Other Shapeshifters Stalking North America made the top new releases in Mythology and Folklore, plus Social Sciences Reference, on US Amazon and top 100 and top 25 on UK Amazon. The book releases on April 26th. I have also been working on a couple of horror short stories, and some made it into paid anthologies, which is nice.
3. What can you tell me about your latest book?
Werewolves, Dogmen, and Other Shapeshifters Stalking North America is part of witnessed stories, mythology, and folklore, particularly indigenous tribes’ tales concerning shapeshifters in the United States. There are some photos in it, too. It is available in paperback and ebook (Kindle, Kobo, and NookBook). This book is for writers wanting ideas of shapeshifters for their fiction, readers who enjoy nonfiction books on the paranormal, and people into cryptids, accounts by witnesses, mythology, and folklore.
Book Blurb:
Have you ever been driving, alone, at night,
and know that what you saw along the side of the road was not human? Do you
ever wonder just what was howling on your last camping trip? Have you ever felt
your skin crawl as you passed by that hitchhiker in the fog?
Join Pamela K. Kinney as she explores the North
American tales and mythology that deal with shapeshifting frights. From the arid
deserts of the American Southwest to the dense forest of the American
Northwest, and even farther north to the Last Frontier of Alaska; from the
Midwest to the Appalachian Mountains, continuing to the Atlantic Ocean in the
east and down south to Florida, the tales of were-beasts are myriad-and
hauntingly similar.
With all these stories spanning cultures and
landscapes, might there be some spark of truth to them?
Researching books, movies, and legends, Pamela
K. Kinney leaves nothing unturned in her quest to discern the truth about the
shapeshifters staking North America.
4. What sort of methods do you use for book promotion?
I use ads placed in newsletters, ezines, magazines, and on websites, social media, like Facebook ads, and promoting on social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Some are placed free, some for an amount of money I can afford to spend. I have a YouTube channel—mainly book reading, although I have not done it lately. I also do live events and book signings, as even the old-fashioned way still works and gets me, readers. I think there is no one way that is better than another—you do trial and error to see what works the best for you. Facebook works for me, but it doesn’t for another. It is all testing and checking for results.
5. Where do you get your ideas for stories?
It is mostly from my imagination, but still, something in the real world sparks a germ of an idea.
6. What are you working on right now?
A short story, but I plan to get back to two sequels of novels/novellas of potential series I got published. I also have a children’s book idea thanks to a poem that one of my publishers, Dreampunk Press, wants to see.
7. Any advice for other authors?
Keep writing. And take a local writers conference and workshops, even those online like on Zoom, because these workshops and conferences can help you learn more about writing and, most of all, it's business. Like I am a Horror Writers Association and Virginia Writers Club member, join a writer's organization. These organizations can help a writer swim through the murky waters of writing and publication. When I was a member of Romance Writers of America, I learned a lot about the business of writing-not writing itself, but getting published, what to know when a publisher cheats you, etc… If you are worried about paying for a membership-it’s a tax deduction. That was something I learned through RWA— I would never have known before that. Most of all, become friends with other writers because writing is a lonely business, and being friends with other writers is not just for pleasure but for learning facts, too.

New from Gypsy Shadow Publishing!
Congratulations to Violetta Antcliff on the release of her new short story, Poison Ivy.
After Sally has lived in care for over twelve years, someone has come forward and says she would like to be Sally's foster mother, and Sally can’t be happier. It was the young and prettiest who got chosen as a rule. Sally has never been called pretty but she knows how to look after herself, that is until Ivy Webster comes into her life. Being told to go to her room whenever she has been disobedient is one thing, but a backhanded slap for no reason is another. Sally wants to run away, but there's no place to go... until a boy called Adam comes into her life.

Editor Interview with Jenn Greenleaf
How did you become an editor?
I sort of fell into it - an author asked me to review his book. It was a mess and I sent him some editing suggestions. He asked me for a price to do a thorough job, and it blossomed from there.
What do you feel are good editing tools?
I like Grammarly and Copyscape the most.
What is are most common mistakes you see as an editor?
It varies - some writers have a strong academic tone, but the client wants their content to speak to a general audience. Other writers seem to submit their first draft (that's weird to me and I'm glad it doesn't happen often).
Which books do you feel are helpful to writers who want to write better?
That's a hard question - I feel like I have every writing book written in my collection. There isn't just one book that helped me along my path - pieces from each helped pave the way.
Well, which ones stand out? Which ones do you turn to a lot or feel are must-reads?
Hmmm... Most were published awhile ago, but they're worth mentioning:
The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success by Diana Burrell and Linda Formicjelli
The Well-Fed Writer by Peter Bowerman
Six Figure Freelancing by Kelly James-Enger
Writer Mama: How to Raise a writing Career Alongside your Kids by Christina Katz
Writer's Market (I used to get the new one every year)
The Freelancer's Bible by Everything You Need to Know to Have the Career of Your Dreams―On Your Terms by Sara Horowitz
How do you handle a situation where a client often questions or argues your edits done on their work?
That actually hasn't happened - we have a productive rapport and work as a team until the content aligns.
That’s great! Thank you. So, can you please describe the ideal client?
One that likes working with me.
That’s always a plus. What can a client expect when they are working with you as their editor?
I adapt to their needs and, if they don't know what they need, we work together to figure that out. My role at nDash is all about being a team - with my colleagues and with the client. We all work together to achieve goals.
How about when you are working as a freelance editor?
They can expect the same - it's my responsibility to meet the client's needs. For example, if they content is complete, but they need help figuring out how to expand ideas, fact check, and ensure continuity, I'll do that. It's so much more than checking for spelling or other grammar errors.
I agree. The task of editing covers a lot more ground than typical checks for grammar and punctuation. Thank you for that information. I think it’s important to have a good editor-client relationship. What do you do in the event you feel the client’s work needs more in-depth editing than what they have hired you for?
I have that conversation before we begin - it's important for everyone involved to understand the original scope of work and -- if that changes for whatever reason -- have a plan B. That way, there are no (or minimal) awkward conversations during the project.
That sounds like a good way to go. Having that Plan B can be very helpful to writers who go into hiring an editor without having a really good idea of what kind of editing their work needs. Do you negotiate your rate? For freelance editing.
Well, that's also a tough question...we don't ask other service providers to negotiate, so why should that differ for writers and editors?
That makes sense. Do you think that it’s actually possible to edit something to death?
That usually happens when the writer isn't 100% sure what they want to write. Eventually, it has to be marked as "done" even if the writer wants to continue changing things.
I agree. We all have to get to that point where we can call it “done” and move on to the next project. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions, Jenn. It is greatly appreciated! How does someone contact you if they want to get in touch about editing? Do you have a website they can go to?
My pleasure!
Yes - jg@jenngreenleaf.com.com or jenn@ndash.com.
My site is very out-of-date, but it's on my list of things to do -- jenngreenleaf.com

Feature Article
Why Authors Need Newsletters
By Dawn Colclasure
Authors are busy people. In the old days, being an author meant writing a book and, if it sold well, gaining admiration and respect from the public. Authors didn’t really need to do much of anything to be respectable and recognized members of society. But these days? Things have changed for authors.
Today, being an author means so much more than writing a book. An author nowadays just can’t write a book then call it a day. There’s a lot more involved. There’s book promotion, marketing, readings, blog tours, speaking engagements, cons, etc., etc.
Why have things changed for authors? Because the world has changed. Authors have to compete with the thousands of other authors out there. We have to do much more work just to get our name “out there” and let readers know about our books.
One way to do that is to have a newsletter. Granted, a newsletter is not a guarantee that sales of your books will skyrocket. With my first newsletter, that just didn’t happen. However, an author newsletter is not just a tool to boost sales of books. An author newsletter serves so many other purposes, as well.
Here are just some ways an author newsletter can be an essential and valuable tool in the author’s toolbox.
You stay connected with readers.
Thanks to the Internet, we have a way of reaching out to people in ways we didn’t before. Remember correspondence courses? Newsletters by mail? Those are things of the past! These days, most connections with everyone is electronic – through the Internet! We have email, blogs, social media and websites. We have electronic mailing lists, online courses – and e-newsletters! The newsletter can help authors to check in with readers on a scheduled basis and keep them posted about any news or things going on in the author’s life.
You keep readers apprised of what you are working on.
For most authors, they write more than one book. Not only this, but they KEEP writing books. What better way to let readers know what new books they can expect to see from you than through a newsletter? It can bring in pre-orders as well as stoke interest in getting your book reviewed, in the chance you have book reviewers on your mailing list.
You get to share any news about appearances, signings, etc.
Most authors these days are not just promoting their books at the desk. A lot of modern day authors are out there in the world, attending cons, giving readings, teaching classes and speaking on their book’s topic. Most of these things are scheduled weeks in advance. This gives the author with a newsletter a great opportunity to let their readers know all about these forthcoming events! Who knows? One such appearance may be in a reader’s area, and they just might attend so they can meet the author in person!
You get the word out about contests.
Contests have deadlines, and if you want to get more readers interested in entering your contest, your author newsletter can help you achieve that goal. Your readers may not have otherwise heard of your contest, and they just may appreciate the opportunity to enter.
You get to offer readers a prize as part of their promotional efforts.
There is no better “street team” for an author than their newsletter’s readers. Your readers signed up for your newsletter because they are interested in you, your book(s) and anything else that might be going on in your authorly life. What this means for you, the author, is that if you have some kind of promotional campaign going on for your book, your readers might be interested in participating! Thank your readers by offering them a gift for their efforts, whether it is a gift card, free copy of a book or a discount in your store.
You get to dabble with ideas and gain feedback (such as holding a poll).
Decisions, decisions. Sometimes, an author just can’t decide on the right book cover, a character name or if your idea for a new writing experiment is a good one. Your newsletter gives you the platform you need to sound off on these ideas. You can create a poll, hold a survey or invite feedback from readers to see what THEY think about your ideas. You can create a whole ‘nother newsletter and see if your readers have any interest in this idea by inviting them to sign up. You can also throw around ideas to see if anything sticks. Your readers are your audience. Give them something interesting, insightful and helpful they can think about and be a part of in their own way.
You get to share new knowledge related to books, writing, and trends.
Authors LOVE talking shop. Whether we get to talk about writing, author stuff, books, writing trends and new ideas, there is no limit to just how much an author could go on and on talking about everything related to books, writing and trends related to the industry. Your author newsletter gives you that chance to talk shop. Your newsletter is just the right sounding board to discuss anything and everything related to the world of writing. Your readers just might appreciate having the chance to be a part of that discussion, as well.
While most writers and authors may claim that a newsletter is a waste of time, it can definitely serve many authors well. It can’t hurt to at least give the newsletter thing a try, and it just might turn out to be a fun, engaging experience. Who knows? Your author newsletter just may find new readers who have heard about you simply because they heard about your newsletter.

Thanks for reading! See you next month!
