I haven't received a degree in creative arts or literature if that's what you're asking. I have published interviews and articles like this in several magazines, all romance writers magazines.<br /><br />A lot of my "experience" come from attending writing conferences (going on 12 years now), being mentored by multi-published authors, entering numerous competitions here in Australia and internationally, judging the same, lots of professional reading, receiving feedback from agents and editors, and good old trial and error. So, you could say my skills are self-taught but with the guidance of numerous people and resources.<br /><br />If you're looking for advice, the best I can give you is - join a writing organisation (like Romance Writers of Australia - http://www.romanceaustralia.com/) where you can tap into the wealth of knowledge and resources brought to the group by its members. There are sister organisations in New Zealand and America (http://www.romancewriters.co.nz/ AND http://www.rwa.org/ )<br /><br />The "How to..." advice I share on my blog may help you, or it may not. Take what's useful, leave the rest.<br /><br />Happy to answer any questions you might have off line if you'd like to email me - kyliegriffin71 (at) optusnet (dot) com (dot) au<br /><br />Keep writing! :-)Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-60229129367516528982011-05-10T15:19:12.692+10:002011-05-10T15:19:12.692+10:00Thanks for the great post, Kylie.
