AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
from the WCSC Board of Directors:

[Laura Pearson @LauraPAuthor]

To writers who think they’ll never get published:

My first novel was rejected so many times.

It’s coming out in three weeks.

Authors I admire and respect are saying wonderful things about it.

A Netgalley reviewer just said it was in her top ten of all time.

Keep going.
