Get Published Weekly Roundup: June 4th, 2018

I’ve smoked over forty pounds of pork shoulder in the past three weeks. That isn’t germane to anything at all, I was just thinking about it as I began to write this. Sometimes there is so much going on that the only way to move forward is to focus on the inconsequential. If that’s too … Read more

Get Published Weekly Roundup: May 7th, 2018

It’s absolutely beautiful here in Charlottesville. Spring is fully upon us; it’s like a weight has lifted from our collective shoulders and we all have found out that we live right outside The Great British Bake Off‘s tent. Concomitantly, however, the pollen has affected me to the degree that I regularly get asked if I have … Read more

Hello, Writers and Friends of GSF! I’m taking the reins this week, but don’t worry, Christopher, the usual compiler of the Roundup, will be back next week. This week we’ve got two newish agents, two chances for publication of that finished manuscript, #MSWL entries from a couple of hungry agents, and a reflection on #TenQueries … Read more

Get Published Weekly Roundup: April 16th, 2018

A dissertation defense, and the advent of the in-law. These things have conspired to make the Roundup this week a non-entity. Next week we’ll be back with a vengeance! We’d love to hear your feedback. Please let us know what you think in the comments and if there are certain types of information you would … Read more

So we’re behind the eight ball on this whole tax thing (who knew that taxes are a hassle?), and it is cutting into our time for the Roundup. Next week will be better, promise. This week we feature a couple of new agents, a nice short story contest and a big money book contest, and … Read more

Get Published Weekly Roundup: April 2nd, 2018

In a few days we embark on our first camping trip of the year. I’ve sharpened and polished my hatchet, checked the bear spray, downloaded some topo maps, and purchased a new water filtration system. None of which we’ll need, because we’re staying in a cabin. It will be my first time cabin camping, and … Read more

Another St. Patrick’s day has come and gone, but I really want some more corned beef. I think I’m going to go eat some leftovers right now. This week we feature some newly minted agents, a humorous poem contest (a contest for humorous poems, not a poetry contest that is humorous; I feel like all … Read more

Get Published Weekly Roundup: March 12th, 2018

It’s both rained and snowed today, pretty much par for the course in early spring in Charlottesville. I have no doubt it will probably be sunny and eighty degrees tomorrow, with snow again on Saturday. Speaking of Saturday, an early Éirinn go Brách to all y’all. We hope you’re all able to enjoy a stout or … Read more

Get Published Weekly Roundup: March 5th, 2018

A fire truck just pulled up in front of our house. Hopefully it isn’t because this post is straight FIRE. Or maybe SMOKIN’ HOT. I don’t know. Which works better? I like the former for its contemporary feel, but the latter doesn’t repeat fire. Either way, nothing seems to be burning, so that’s good. This week … Read more
