ANNOUNCEMENT: DAH-DAH-DUMMMMM!!! The 2014 GA Quarterly Anthology themes have been set. Thank you to all of the members who helped participate in choosing next year's themes, through theme suggestions and voting. Special thanks to Renee Stevens and the rest of the Anthology team for working so diligently on compiling these suggestions and compiling them down to the final choices. Looking at the five final themes - next year's anthologies should be very interesting to read!

October's Can't Stop Reading Book Club entry was announced this week - Wrangler Butts by reddirtwriter! I can't wait for the discussion day on Oct 28th as this is one story I've read and very much enjoyed - and based on the comments we've already received, I'm not the only one. If you haven't read this great story yet - jump in now and join us on Oct 28th to talk about it.

Our Writers' Support Team is always busy, helping out authors, editors and beta readers on our site. As a new project, Louis (LJH) and Joann (Joann414) are kicking off a Special Project - creating the first GA Self-Editing Handbook. Check out this post as it lays out their concept for the handbook, and they've already gotten some fabulous input and offers of help. This will be a treasured resource once completed - join in and help them out!
