In Wednesday’s post I mentioned two epiphanies while at the Madison Writers Conference. Yesterday I talked a little about Ken Miyamoto. Today is for Jane Friedman.
Not sure why my only contact with this delightful lady was her keynote of the final day? Oversight, I guess. What’s important is that I was there for her Sunday morning presentation, The Future of Authorship. It’s equally important that her epiphany followed Ken’s chronologically.
Jane mentioned a site called Wattpad - home to a high-volume audience for serialized release of stories. If one has just decided to tackle a series of short stories meant to pair with the concepts and storylines of “Andy” (the TV series) then that author surely must look into Wattpad as a possible medium. I have looked into it since and suspect I will start publishing there (if that’s the right terminology?) as soon as I’ve done some legwork on the stories themselves.
I also looked at Jane’s website, janefriedman.com and it’s obvious why it gets all kinds of awards and recognition. I expect to go there regularly for the treasure trove of information and links.
