Hey everyone. I wanted to share an important day coming up on June 8. It’s Women’s Fiction day, and for me and so many others, it’s extraordinary and important.

 

Women’s Fiction Day celebrates women’s fiction authors, novels, publishers, booksellers, and most importantly, readers who appreciate women’s fiction and the power of a great story. This year for Women’s Fiction Day, members across the country will hold book signings to engage and connect with readers.

 

“Authors love connecting with readers, and the last couple of years have been difficult all around,” said WFWA President Jacki Kelly. “Seeing a glimmer of hope on the horizon, this year, we’re working with our members to celebrate Women’s Fiction Day both in-person and online.”

 

What Is Women’s Fiction?

Women’s fiction is a writing genre that includes layered stories in which the main character’s emotional journey drives the plot. The stories can be contemporary or historical and may have magical, mystery, thriller, romance, or other elements.

I’m a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), a non-profit association dedicated to supporting authors of women’s fiction. They are a fantastic group and so supportive of female authors. I can’t say enough about how they have helped me shape my work. In honor of them and Women’s Fiction Day, I’ll be giving a copy of my upcoming Women’s Fiction book, The Silence in the Sound, to one lucky reader.

 

Leave a comment letting me and everyone know your favorite women’s fiction work, and I’ll randomly pick one person to send my book to. I appreciate your support every day. It’s beautiful and unwavering. I am continuously in awe at how many people wish for another, sometimes a stranger, to succeed. Thank you.
