Shameless promotion of my friends

[kate_schaefer]

Last weekend, while at Potlatch, I re-read Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward's Writing the Other. That is, I thought I was re-reading it, but I must have skimmed it the first time through. I'll read it another time in a few months, and I may finally do the exercises as well as read the text. It's available and on sale for only $9 from Aqueduct Press at http://www.aqueductpress.com/orders.html; scroll down the page to the Conversation Pieces, #8. While you're on the Aqueduct page, go ahead and buy Nisi's short fiction collection, Filter House. It's fun to support good writers and small presses!

Nisi is on LJ these days as nisi_la. She posts rarely but entertainingly.

Writing the Other is a TERRIFIC book, and well, well worth the $9.

Writing the Other is fabulous. I followed Nisi's "orders" ;-) and after reading it, I went back and did the exercises. A very worthwhile experience.
Thanks Kate for this shameless promotion.

I'm currently reading Nisi's collection. I've had it for months but was afraid to read it because what if I hated it? Thankfully, I'm most of the way through and really liking most of it.
