Britwriters blog
May. 19th, 2008 08:33 pmA group of British writers, including yours truly, have a new group blog at Britwriters, which you can find syndicated on LJ at the Britwriters LJ feed. To quote one of the fine people who came up with the idea for the blog:
I've just posted my first article, a piece about considering cultural differences when writing for a mixed US/UK audience. I'll mirror it here and on my WordPress book blog, but you'll find the original here: http://wulfwaru.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/writing-culture-clash/
If you're from the UK and you're a published author, and you're looking for a place to promote your books, then the new Britwriters Blog might be for you.More details here: http://alex-beecroft.livejournal.com/28328.html

If you're not from the UK, but you've considered writing a book set in Britain - whether a contemporary or a historical - then this blog should have something to interest you too. And if you're not a writer but you're just interested in our peculiar little country, I'm hoping this will also give you an occasional giggle ;)

Self-promo is welcome as part of the package, but shouldn't be the only thing posted.
