Last MM – 31st Annual Writers of the Future Awards Ceremony

You may have seen it plastered all over Facebook, I know that I have, Tor just signed a $3.4 Million dollar, ten year deal with John Scalzi for 13 books.  That’s quite a commitment.  Some writers are saying that he could have made more with a different deal.  Perhaps.  He still gets royalties.  And, honestly, in the publishing business, you can’t beat that kind of stability.

I was just looking at Tor.com and saw that they are currently accepting submissions.  Their novella submissions closes in a few days, so I’m not going to make that deadline.  But they are also accepting short stories.  I happen to have a short story that’s looking for a home, so I’m going to submit.  Hopefully they’ll like it.

Tor appears to be a great publisher of SciFi, among other things.  I’ve heard of Tor before this, but I’m not especially familiar.  However, I’m looking forward to learning more about them.

It turns out that Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi have been friends since John Scalzi was first starting out.  Their interaction was natural and made the audience feel like we all knew them well.

While there was a lot of information about the life of a writer, it’s difficult to sum it up.  But if I were to take away lesson, it’d be this: Continue reading →
