anthologies

For me anthologies are like dipping your toe in the water rather than going for a swim. Like this, I published my writing in anthologies as a way to 'be published'.  I share with you links to these anthologies because I believe this step is a big one for anyone aspiring to get their words out of their head and into a published book.  I also believe that the other authors sharing their voice are worthy of mention as they travel on their writer's journey.

Please have a look and if you are inspired then go ahead an order a copy of the book.  I personally do not get any proceeds for publishing in these formats. Yet I do like to encourage the sharing.

Following are anthologies in which my writing is published.

San Francisco Writer's Festival 2010 Anthology

I was one of 24 writers selected to be published in this work. Ironically I submitted a poem on Intuition. Intuition is an area that I am quite passionate about and as you may have seen offer a range of work around the subject.  So it was nice to get a nod towards the direction I 'know' I am meant to be going in.

What my favorite teacher taught me, edition 1

I had a goal to be a published author by the age of 40.  As I got closer and closer to this artificial deadline I got no closer to actually achieving the goal. For many reasons, which I go into elsewhere, taking the steps necessary to be published were too daunting.  So I enrolled in a one day course that promised me to do what I aspired - write my non fiction book in 3 different ways.  Well I am still in draft with many books yet I did manage to write one story for the anthology offered by the teacher.
