My awesome co-hosts today are Julie Luek, Rachna Chabria, Beverly Fox, and Ilima Todd! Please be sure to thank them for their time and effort to make all IWSG members feel welcome.
Many thanks to the IWSG Admins who helped put it together - Joy Campbell, Michelle Wallace, Joylene Nowell Butler Susan Gourley/Kelley, L. Diane Wolfe, and Lynda Young.
It is still a work in progress and we will continue to add to it over time. You will find pages full of links to great sites and databases under the following subjects – Writing Tips; Publishers, Agents, Queries; Self-Publishing; Marketing; Contests; and Publications.
We also have a page where you can leave suggestions for sites to add to the database. Note we are looking for sites, not individual posts!
The IWSG List is also up on the site HERE.
The first Wednesday will be an encouraging word from the team, and every Monday will be a post from one of the admins about writing, designed to encourage and give you some valuable information or resources.
We also have a Facebook page HERE.
Eventually, we’d like to open it up for guest posts on Wednesday, and expand to include Twitter and possibly a newsletter. (The Twitter hashtag is still #IWSG.)
We invite you to follow and explore the new site. And let us know what we can do to make it a great resource for writers.
Thanks everyone for your dedication to the IWSG and making this site a reality!
Be sure to visit other members on the LIST.
Ninja News
Christine Monson had a wonderful review of CassaStorm on Monday. Her favorite character was Bassan. I’m sensing a trend here…
In addition to her book, Mary’s story, Semper Audacia, is part of the Space Jockey anthology. It was recently released and there are 14 stories, including classics from Philip K. Dick and Algis Budrys.
Congratulations on both accounts, Mary! That is awesome.

ReplyDeleteThe IWSG site looks great! Congrats to you and everyone helping out. You all have done a great job. Not sure how to connect to fb seeing how it's a closed group. I guess I just send a request? Sorry, fb noob here.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the site - looks amazing and duly following it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the site!
ReplyDeleteIn the comments on my blog recently, a few of us were talking about Atari and how we miss it and those old games. The new stuff just isn't the same...sigh.
Congrats on the new site, looks great! And thanks for the shout-out. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alex,
ReplyDeleteExcellent site!
very cool on the new site....MPax cover is awesome, just saying....the newer games are a bit over the top....i know they have the rating but way too much exposure for kids too early...
ReplyDeleteJust went o your new site-love it!
ReplyDeleteWTG, dear Captain! and huge thanks to your team for developing a site for all writers. Signed up for Joy's blog hop and ordered her book. Thanks for spotlighting writers to help get the word out!

ReplyDeleteThe new website looks great you guys! You did a fantastic job. I'm loving the idea of tips. I need all I can get. =)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I have tears running down my face from watching the Conan clip. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard. I play just like that. My kids have to take the remote from me to bail me out because I crash into the walls and other cars. That was great!!!
Congratulations to M.Pax and everyone with new book releases. And a Big Congrats to the new IWSG site, I'm off to take a look!
ReplyDeleteHey! I actually saw that bit on Conan (I love Conan, but rarely watch him, so 'tis a fluke).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new site!
Great site for IWSG. Facebook page you say? But...you don't do the Book of Faces? Or has that changed?
ReplyDeleteNailed it on the trivia.
Clueless gamer? Not I. 1 week until a new game comes out that I want, want, want, and 6 weeks until the PS4 release. Can't wait for that.
Hi Alex, Well Done!!!
ReplyDeleteI just visited the page.
Indeed its cool and simple, but at the same time eye capturing too.
Keep up the good work, I appreciate you and your team for this new initiative. Keep Going!
Best Regards
Philip
The IWSG site rocks! I'm so excited and can't imagine your level of Woo! Hoo!. I'm sure it will be a great resource for many. That Conan bit was hilarious. I'd never seen one of his episodes.
ReplyDeleteI love the new IWSG website, Alex!
ReplyDeleteThe admins (and you!) DID do a fantastic job and I am so excited about it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me co-host this month!
Great new site! I would've used the new banner on my post today had I known. I'm so happy for you, and take a little pride in knowing you and all that you've accomplished. You definitely set the bar.

M.L. Swift, Writer
Lots and lots of goodness!

ReplyDeleteGreat to see Nick here with his new editing services ..
Cheers Hilary
Congratulations! That's huge and looks like a treasure chest for us writers. Can't wait to peek around :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome site, very easy to navigate, only thing that I hate is when that stupid bar with the tabs extends across the left and right of the scene, just an annoyance of mine I guess haha
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS. ALEX!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks everyone involved. Those bloggers are just wonderful to give up their time to create this fantastic site for our community! Thank you, ALL!

Congrats on the site. Checking it out now.

ReplyDeleteSo many awesome things going on with IWSG! Love it :)

If I can just get over my insecurity of all things social media related (see this month's post) I'll actually try to use the #IWSG hashtag in the near future.
ReplyDeleteOh, for Pete's sake! Ed Harris! Missing the obvious. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think of the new IWSG website? I think it's amazing how much manpower, passion and dedication you and your team are putting into something that is helping so many and building such strong community, so gold star.
Oh, I love the new site! Damn-I messed up-I will post an post about IWSG on my other blog~ I have an idea!

ReplyDeleteLove this videos of Conan trying out video games. I remember the Tomb Raider one. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd good news for IWSG!
John Cusack was classic in Better Off Dead. About the only movie I liked him in. Thing I'll play it for the kids this weekend.
It's a wonderful thing to be here witnessing the reality of your dream, Alex. I'm honoured to be part of it.
ReplyDeleteThe site looks great! :) And congrats to everyone on all their new news. And thanks for the movie suggestion the other week. I watched Now You See me and really enjoyed it. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very exciting day for IWSG. M. Pax has a great cover, doesn't she? I knew two of the trivia. Might be a record.
ReplyDeleteWow, the site looks great. I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into it and plan to make it a daily stop.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful!
Congrats to you and to all the IWSG members!
Very proud of you, sir!
Heather
The site is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI love watching Conan try to game. It is funny and GTA is really good. Still can't believe it hit the billion dollar mark so quickly.
Happy IWSG Day! I've been in for a few short months and to say it has changed my life is an understatement. Thanks, Ninja Captain!
ReplyDeleteI love the new website for the IWSG! It's very cool! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to Nick - I might have to use his services!
The new site looks great!
ReplyDeleteFran, you were really close.

Rebecca, glad you liked it!
Susan, and you helped make it happen - thanks.
Mark, guess that means we better keep adding to it!
Brandon, not one of my purchases either.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and the admins on a rockin' new site, Alex. I realize I was dropped from the list for not participating for...oh, quite a while. I would like to join back up. There is a link button on my blog today for IWSG. Or if you think I should actually get a few months under my belt before I get back on the list, that is good too.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting work Nick Wilford, Freelance Editor!
ReplyDeleteI'm back on track with my insecure writer posts. More insecure than ever!
ReplyDeleteThe blog looks great - congrats to all on a job well done.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Alex, I forgot it was Wednesday and the first Wednesday at that! I didn't do an IWSG post! Gah! So annoyed with myself. It catches me out when it's so early in the month.
ReplyDeletePlease don't drop me.
Love that the group has grown so much. It's a great group. You have much to be proud of.
Congrats on the web page, and congrats to Nick, and M Pax, and . . . all those with new stuff out there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alex, for being you and for hosting IWSG and making it the event that it is! Sorry I was a bit of a downer today. Next month, I'm determined to be one of the encouragers.
Hot Potatoes, a website that rocks.
ReplyDeleteI copied Nick's info. Thanks, I'm always on the lookout for another editor.
Here's the Trivia:
1 The Abyss – Ed Harris
2 Better Off Dead – John Cusack ?
3 Ghostbusters – Sigourney Weaver
4 Lake Placid - Bill Pullman
5 Death Becomes Her – Goldie Hawn
6 The Ghost and the Darkness – Val Kilmer
Most I know others I'm guessing.
Nancy
A lot of work has clearly gone into the IWSG site. It looks amazing, and it's already a great resource for us! Congrats! And thanks for helping little me too.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex and Team,
ReplyDeleteEverything is fine, but i have a small suggestion:
Pl, provide the html code of IWSG's emblem
so that the members can embed it in their pages
Thanks and regards
Philip Ariel
Debra, that part was funny, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteLuAnn, feel free to sign back up! Sorry, the list does get culled now and then.
Rebecca, I won't axe you.
Tyrean, no worries - that's what it's for.
Nancy, yes!
Nick, you're welcome.
Philip, I can email it to you.
IT'S OPEN, THAT'S AWESOME!! I'm sooo excited that it's up and running. Now excuse me while I got play on the website.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO SO SO excited about the website Alex!! What an awesome tool! I can't wait to go look!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to checking out your new website and Facebook page. I am awed that you put it all together (with help from the other admins, of course). It's a fabulous idea to help aspiring writers... or even published writers who decide to shake things up in order to do publish differently. Kudos!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the website! Thank you for all the hard work that you and your team do on a regular basis to help us aspiring writers out.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Nick's and to the IWSG page and to Joy's blog---I think I got it covered!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex!
The new website is looking great! And I love that review of GTA4 *snigger*. I must admit I've never cottoned on to that game... I prefer Skyrim and the likes. Hmm... I guess considering what I write that's not so surprising.
ReplyDeleteToodles,
Tessa (currently posting both at Tessa's Blurb and The Book Bunnies)
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteYou've done an amazing thing here. Just wanted to say, I fully support the Insecure Writer's Group.
I've seen some moving posts, especially from Shannon Lawrence because of this idea.
I wish I had the guts to join in, but until I do, please know that all of these insecurities are shared by many of us, and how much it helps to hear it from others.
Best,
Julie
Wow, congrats Alex!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Joy and Nick! Awesome on the new site. I will pop on over. Thank you for the shoutouts, Alex! Hope your week is going fantastic so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex for your simple encouragement. I did it. (that would be - I published my very first IWSG post.)
ReplyDeleteLove the new website and the FB page/group! I am going to spend some time on the website because I think it will be very helpful to me...I have a hard time sometimes deciding on this and that, and I think it will be good for me. Thanks! sandy www.sandysanderellasmusings.blogspot.com

You and your team did a fantastic job on the website! It already has so many helpful resources. it's a great expansion to the group. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteMagic Most deadly and Beyond the Edge sounds good. I enjoyed MPax's last story. :-)
ReplyDeleteI got Goldie Hawn and Sigourney Weaver. Given my state of mind, I thought that was fabulous.
Conan cracked me up. I play Guitar Hero. I've play, badly, a few games with the kid. I'm not a gamer.
Website looks good. Kudos to the team that help pull it together!
Sia McKye Over Coffee
Yay for the new site. I've already stopped by and y'all did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to pull some of your awesome vibes to help get me back on track. ;)
Hope you have a great day. :)
Woohoo... so excited to see the IWSG website up... well done.
ReplyDeleteYour group is a very heartening one, Alex. I'm glad it keeps expanding.
ReplyDeletePer usual, Alex, you are a wealth of information and resources and generosity. Of course I'll be using the Insecure Writer's Support website, especially the tips on marketing (I have no skills whatsoever in that area). Thank you for this latest gift.
ReplyDeleteHa! I've never seen one of his Clueless Gamer dealies. Admittedly, I've never played Grand Theft Auto. Pretty detailed, eh? Wow. And, yay, I got all the trivia answers for once! Blown away by Mary being in an anthology with names like those! And congratulations to everyone mentioned in the post!

The new site looks great!

Yay for Nick and all the book news.
ReplyDeleteI'm checking out the IWSG site right now...
Sia, two right was definitely good.
ReplyDeleteKela, hope you do.
Helena, it was the team that pulled it together. I know nothing...
Shannon, there is a whole series of Clueless gamers on YouTube - go watch!
Thanks everyone!
Congrats on the new website.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it is a great idea IWSG improving year after year!
ReplyDeleteCrap! Work had been a tad ridiculous this week. I've been forced to schedule time to breathe into my calendar. Totally missed this again.
ReplyDeleteClueless gamer is the most ridiculously funny thing ever. Haven't seen this one yet. I will come back as soon as I have time.
That IWSG website is pretty badass. 345 people? Man, that's crazy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm no clueless gamer. I can weave my way through midday traffic, shoot down police helicopters, and beat up hookers with the best of 'em.
Wowzers! I'm diggin' the new IWSG site, Alex! Awesome job, congrats, and thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the new site. What a great idea. IWSG has helped me so much along my writing journey.
ReplyDeleteRusty, it's sheer genius.
ReplyDeleteBrandon and Bryan, obviously I like crazy. And Conan needs lessons from you guys.
You know, I've been a huge Ninja Captain Alex fan for a while, and have always supported the IWSG mission, but I've never actually signed up... Too insecure, I guess. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I'm taking the plunge and will be adding my own small voice to the next IWSG chorus the first Wed of November!
Oh - and today I posted something on my blog about a website I've been playing guitar at. Wanna jam??? :)
I liek the new IWSG site:) And am happy to be part of the FB group now:)
ReplyDeleteWoot! That's great the website is now up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mary!
Insecure Writer’s Support Group website - WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe new IWSG website looks great. Now if only I can find time to join it! Thanks for the editor info. Once I finish with some of my work I'm going to need a good editor.
ReplyDeleteLove the expansion of the IWSG. What a great idea! Got signed up for the blog fest. Missed one I signed up for this summer and told myself I'd avoid them, but passing one up is like saying no to seconds. I know I'm full, but it looks so good ya know?
ReplyDeleteLove the new website! Sorry for only getting around to it now. Been rushed off my internet feet the past week... Sigh.
ReplyDeleteChris, welcome aboard!! And will check it out. Always want to jam.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, why not, right?
Love the new site!
ReplyDeleteYAY! for M.Pax!
ReplyDeleteYou are always stuffed to the gills with info. Guess it's time I join the IWSG. I saw the FB page the other day and thought, "That's awesome!"
Hey ninja dude,
ReplyDeleteYou know me, when it comes to spreading, the word, that is, no problem. IWSG aka...um will be duly mentioned around by me. Maybe I can have a franchise.
Here I go, sharing....
Gary
The IWSG site looks great and the FaceBook site has been getting a very good reception as well.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
