Thank you everyone who joined us today for this chat with MJ Polk.
I enjoyed learning about MJ’s writing background, style, favorite book, writing process and a little bit about how Hank’s The Ugly Duckling, our featured book came about. He even read the blurb in addition to the review that’s available here on this publication.
During this live we mentioned other writers here on Substack, whose work might be nominated to the Short Stories and Tales Short Story Contest, and those whose published books are featured as reward options for our winner.
Please check out the nomination post here.
I read a chapter from MJ’s book earlier in March. The recording of that live can be viewed in the podcast. The book can be found on MJ’s page, on the Southern Copywriters Blog and on Amazon as well.
Other books mentioned during this live were:
Our featured books:
Hank Cotton’s The Ugly Duckling
Gabriel O. Maestas’s Loretto, reviewed here
Emma Steel’s Myths & Monsters, reviewed here (last week’s live)
Joe Nichols’s short story book My Angel Wears a Helmet and his latest, Such Pleasant Smells, reviewed here, also
Rick West, primalbeet’s book, featured on the Southern Writers’ Guild last month: First Light.
