My pal, Michael Steven Gregory, founder of The Southern California Writer’s Conference, SCWC, filmed this video when my hair was that other color, The letter was written by an MD.
Hear what the group has to say about it.
BTW, have you signed up for the upcoming SCWC, Sept 24-26, held in Newport Beach? If not, why not? It’s the best bang for your writing investment buck. Seriously, join us.

Matt Stewart is author of The French Revolution, his debut novel that Kirkus raved about—
“Best of all, Stewart’s language sparkles, sometimes riffing like Bob Dylan, always moving the narrative forward….easy entertainment in book form.” – Kirkus Reviews
He began tweeting his unpublished novel when his agent could not find a publisher to buy it. 30 rejections later, Stewart pretty much said “what the hell” and began tweeting. His followers began calling his tweets ‘Cliff Notes’–offering just enough to want more.

Non fiction authors: If you expect an agent/traditional publisher to have interest, you must prove two things: 1. you are the expert to write this book 2. there’s enough content to fill one.
I suggest to this author that she consider a collection: stories from folks, also caretakers, who have walked this path. Such a book could be a primer, a guide book, a ‘group’ help book….
As is, I don’t see a book, I see an article.
