This week's Writer's Tips comes from a Canadian writer who has guest blogged here before. Last time he spoke about the importance of speaking up. You can read that post here. I first met him at the Saints and Sinners Festival in New Orleans, but due to my jet lag I didn't get to socialise …

Welcome to the second guest post from authors sharing their writer's tips. This week meet Elaine White. Her bio tells us that she grew up in a small town on the east coast of Scotland and writes paranormal romance, crime and MM romance.

Last week I posted a blog about a lunch I had with Max Vos (who's in Australia taking a holiday) and with Nic Starr. In the post I talked about how it's important to share knowledge when it comes to the craft of writing. This week Max does just that. Welcome to a new series …
