Have a voice

Here at The Unvarnished Author we want everyone to have the opportunity to have a voice. So, if you have a topic you'd like us to discuss or have a tip you'd like us to share here on our page, feel free to email us. We're open to ideas for our posts as we sometimes end up stumped for something to talk about. We know, authors who get stumped, shocker right? But it's true. We all hit points where the blank page haunts us and the cursor seems to say "write, write, write!" in a very taunting undertone over and over again and yet, nothing comes out.

Topics and tips should be emailed, not posted in the comments. While we will read each and every comment on the board we're not on here constantly so we might miss something without meaning to. If you are emailing us a topic, let us know your interest or questions about that specific topic so we make sure to cover it fully and not leave you hanging. If you have a tip, make sure you write it out exactly how you want it to appear. All tips will appear as you sent them to us, down to the last period. Let us know the tag you'd like to appear - be it your real name or a pseudonym. We're cool with either but we do want to give credit where credit is due.

We only have one rule for your tips, keep it polite and make sure it's not a rant against ... whatever or whomever. We're here to provide help and perhaps spark conversations that lead to more discussions. Not to goad anyone into an on-line slap down. We do not mention names in the posts, we do not point fingers, we keep everything as general and broad as possible.

So, do you have a tip to share or a topic you want to see written up here? Send it to us at:  the.unvarnished.author@gmail.com and remember to let us know how you'd like to be identified for credit for it. Make sure your subject lines are marked accordingly - Tip to Share or Topic to Discuss depending on what you're sending us.
