I signed a contract for my first book, a memoir, in November. I'm wondering if there is a group of writers on FAIRYGODBOSS? Or, does anyone have tips on how to find writers and aspiring writers on this site? I'd love to share in the process with others.

That is great. I always had an interest in writing, but my day job and my jobs at home never seem to leave me enough time or energy to put pen to paper. I'd love to know how you are doing through that process. Please connect or keep us posted.

Thank you! Also: how do I "connect" to other users on this platform? I'm new to this, haha.

Congrats! Very exciting :-) I published my first novel in 2014 (my secret love outside of work.) If you haven't already discovered SheWrites.com, it's an amazing place to connect with other writers/authors.

Hi, Jody: I am the author of two books about female business executives. The latest, "Power Moms: How Executive Mothers Navigate Work and Life, will be published next month. My first appeared in Oct. 2016. I would be happy to connect with you at any time to discuss my journey from newspaper journalist to a writerly author -- or answer any questions you may have about the book writing process.

Thanks! My book is written and in the editor's hands, but I'd love to chat about marketing.
