Legend has it that Abraham Lincoln scrawled the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope as he traveled to the battlefield to dedicate a cemetery. But the legend belies Lincoln's struggle to carefully choose the right words. Words that must soothe a fractured nation, inspire change and chart the course for the nation's future. Because his speech in Gettysburg will change history, but not necessarily in the way he hopes. Written by a Sidewise Award winner for Best Alternate History, "Well-Chosen Words" first appeared in an anthology called Alternate Gettysburgs. "Kristine Kathryn Rusch looks at the anxiety Lincoln had in selecting the 'Well-Chosen Words' he would speak at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, while his host, David Wills, fretted about the success of the event itself. The story is well written, with both characters coming to life."-Steven H. Silver, SF Site

In this WMG Writer's Guide, award-winning author and business owner Kristine Kathryn Rusch provokes writers to think about their own careers as a business with limits only the writers, themselves, impose. From newly professional writers to those with years in the trenches dealing with traditional publishers, Rusch shows how to expand author earnings and audiences beyond the obvious channels. Drawing from her own vast experience in the industry, Rusch demonstrates that potential markets abound, and every novel, short story, or creative nonfiction essay can become so much more than a one-and-done published piece. From information on IP and licensing to what the writing industry truly looks like today, Rusch lifts the veil on the potential for every writer's business to thrive. "[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's blog, ] The Business Rusch.is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on."-Jeff Baker, The Oregonian "Kristine Kathryn Rusch's new book Discoverability is by far the best resource I have read to date to help indie authors succeed after the book is written."-Chris Syme, Principal of CKSyme Media Group "Kristine [Kathryn Rusch]'s extensive experience in both traditional and indie publishing shines through in this amazing book."-Tim Grahl, "11 Best Book Marketing Books" on Discoverability "Discoverability gets my highest recommendation and a must read for writers who want to develop a career and make a living in the Indie Publishing industry."-Marion Hill

Rethinking the Writing Business: A WMG Writer's Guide - WMG Writer's Guides, #17

So many mysteries in the past. So many opportunities, as well. While Portals, Inc. uses historians to test its time travel devices, historians use Portals to test their theories. Neyla believes the 17th century discovery of the dead Princes near the Bloody Tower will tell her who murdered the boys centuries before. Thomas Ayliffe believes he can pull off the crime of the century-any century. All three agendas collide in a story about crimes and criminals, past, present, and future."'The Tower' is not only a compelling read, but also an informal treatise on social psychology."-Tangent Online
