Writing at the Edge is a new collective set up by Jonathan Posner, Keith Rossiter, Jason Mann and William Telford, specifically to advise new writers, help them to improve their craft and prepare for self-publishing. On the craft of writing, they’ll be offering advice on pitching an idea, opening pages to hook in a reader, plotting, building tension, dialogue and character arcs (among many other related topics). On publishing, they’ll be offering advice mainly on self-publishing and all the elements involved – such as submitting to a hybrid publisher, editing, cover design, ISBNs, formatting, proofing, uploading to Amazon / Ingram Spark and marketing.
