Seven New Books From Six WriteByNighters!

Published: Sat, 10/24/20

Hi writers & readers,

Earlier this year we shared some exciting new books resulting from our partnership with Atmosphere Press, and promised that a few more were in the hopper.

They've hopped! This week we want to take a look at a few new offerings from WriteByNighters and Atmosphere Press: novels, memoirs, self-help, and true crime, plenty of new writing to keep you occupied through the autumn and into the winter.

The following titles are available now from Atmosphere. If you'd like to discuss publication with Atmosphere Press, or learn more about any of WriteByNight's services, reply to this email or sign up for your free writing consultation now.

Stephanie Duesing has released her debut, Eyeless Mind: A Memoir about Seeing and Being Seen, an account of her traumatic upbringing set against her efforts as an adult to help her son navigate his own struggles.

The book is "a unique, compelling true story that draws pathos and humor from the absurdities of life."

Stephanie worked with WBN's Robert McDowell (critique; line edit) and David Duhr (proofread).

Waking Up Marriage: Finding Truth Inside Your Partnership is the newest offering from Bill O'Herron. In it, Bill explores what he calls "Half-Syndrome," and suggests ways to return to your "inner kingdom of experiences."

Described as "oddly sweet and moving," Waking Up Marriage is a book Bill worked on, in coaching, with Nick Courtright and Robert McDowell.

Betty Plombon has released her true crime book, The Horror of 1888: The True Story of the Crime, Escape, and Capture of John Kuehni, which explores a 19th century gruesome murder in Dane County, Wisconsin.

(Spoiler alert: Betty is related to the killer!)

Betty worked with Nick Courtright (publication assistance), Brad Tyer (line edit), and David (proof).

Seed and Grow are the first two in a series of eco-fiction novels by WriteByNighter Chris McGee. Follow the adventures Jack and Lake Creek, eco-warriors "in the vein of Edward Abbey" (a person favorite of mine, and the author's).

Chris has worked with Bridget Apfeld (publication assistance), Robert McDowell (critique), Justine (publication assistance), and David (proof).

Katastrophe: The Dramatic Actions of Kat Morgan is the new YA novel from Sylvia M. DeSantis.

High school (and life) for Kat Morgan is a train wreck; she "has become a girl whose skin she can barely stand to wear" -- something she means literally -- until she finds unexpected help in an unexpected form.

Sylvia worked with WBN's Carolyn Cohagan on a critique.

S. Lee Glick's new novel is "a book to die for." The Testament follows Simon after his uncle wills him a creepy unfinished manuscript, but before Simon can type "The End," he must fight off a gang of evil cousins -- and maybe even something far more bloodthirsty... something from the other side.

Stephen has worked with WBN's Resa Alboher (coaching), Adriana Cloud (line edit), David (proof), and John Sibley Williams (publication assistance).

Our congrats to these wonderful writers and their exciting books! And our everlasting thanks for allowing WriteByNight to help them reach their literary goals.

Sincerely,

David Duhr
Co-founder, WriteByNight
