After taking some time off in November and December, we're back to business here on the blog. How do you like the new look? Many thanks to our own Charlee Vale for the face lift. Make sure to check out our team page to learn about new FTWA bloggers, as well as catch up on what's going on with the rest of us.
In addition to a new look and some new voices, we're changing to a new posting schedule starting right now. You can expect to see new posts from us every Monday and Thursday, excluding major holidays. Feel free to sign up to receive our posts via email or RSS, or connect with us on social media to make sure you never miss a post.

If you have a writing or publishing question you'd like to see us address in a post, feel free to tweet us or post it to us on Facebook and we'll do our best to give you the answers you need.

I love the new look! I had thought I was an old follower because I have visited before, but it turns out I am a new follower. :)
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway! What a great way to kick off 2015 and your new look.
Happy New Year to all of you!

I am a new follower. Glad to have found you! Happy New Year! I would like to learn more about NaNoWriMo.
Wishing all a very Happy New Year. An awesome giveaway with fabulous books.
Oooo... pretty...
Happy New Year to all--the site looks great!
Thanks, everyone! Glad to have you on board, both new and old followers alike!
New follower! Interested in writing across genres and how that affects 'branding', what authors can do to support/market their books at smaller presses, short story writing/selling (esp for those of us who are primarily novelists!)
I'm a new follower. I'd love to hear more about the business/marketing side of writing.
Wow! I'm glad I found this blog. Thank you Mindy for sharing it on FB :)
You're so welcome! Thank you to those who followed over here from my FB post! FTWA (and all the people in it) have been part of my life for a very long time... we all met as pre-pubbed hopefuls and now we have movie deals and some NYT listers among us!
I'm a new follower!! Very excited to come across your website!
I would really like to know the "steps" to become a published author. Also, how authors get over humps when writing a book!
The books look good!
Pretty is right! Great job, Charlee! Thanks, everyone, for your comments and your thoughts on what you'd like to see in 2015. I hope you keep sharing with us what you're looking for and that we're able to meet your writing needs and desires.
Happy New year all! Stopped by to give my support and give Tweet as well. I'll opt out of any books as my TBR List will take me through 2015 though. But good luck to everyone else!
What a great giveaway pack! And a good idea to have it as a relaunch effort!
As for posts I'd love to see, well, they all look good. I'm not on Google Friend Connect, since I use Wordpress and they disabled that feature quite a while ago, but I can add you via Feedly and keep track that way. :-)
Have a wonderful weekend, and happy 2015!
I'm a new follower! I'd love to read tips on writing, things you've picked up along the way.
I am new to the blog! I love the way the blog looks and it is so awesome to be able to read a blog written by published writers and see you guys' perspectives. Thank you!
