Just a quick post today to tell you all a little bit about the two writers I’ve chosen to be regular contributors to Write It Sideways over the next six months, while I’m busy taking care of our twins-to-be.
Considering how wonderful all of the candidates have been, the decision has been exceptionally difficult. And I do mean exceptionally.
However, I’m glad to announce that between January and June 2012, Susan Bearman and Sarah Baughman will each be writing two articles per month for Write It Sideways.
Susan Bearman
Susan Bearman is a writing veteran of more than 20 years, working as a ghost writer, technical writer and business editor. She teaches writing and social media for writers, and her current works-in-progress include several picture books, a memoir and a mystery. Follow her on Twitter, and read Susan on her own blog, Two Kinds of People, and weekly on the Garanimals Blog.

She received a 2010 King County Arts Commission grant for an interdisciplinary art/poetry project in the Seattle Public Schools, and the first chapter of her novel, BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE ORANGES, received Honorable Mention in the 2010 Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition. Sarah blogs regularly at Inside-Out Underpants. She lives with her husband and two children in Seattle where she is hard at work on her second novel.
Note: For personal reasons, Sarah Callender withdrew from the contributor search, but she’s looking forward to guest posting for us in the future.
