Jeanne Lyet Gassman's Writing and Advice
Hello and welcome!
In addition to promoting my work as a freelance writer and instructor, this site is also devoted to providing useful advice and information to those who wish to pursue a career in writing. In my 25+ years as an author and teacher, I feel I have gleaned a wealth of knowledge about the writing business and craft. I would like to share some of that knowledge with you.
I have a new blog! Stop by Jeanne's Writing Desk and post a comment or say "hello." I look forward to meeting you.

BOOKS
Voted #1 for book cover art design in 2005 Preditors & Editors Reader's Poll!
Sonoran Mirage, an anthology of prose and poetry published by the Writers Round Table Phoenix. I have two pieces in this collection: "The Gifts of Vanessa" (creative nonfiction) and "Trio for Two" (short story).
"Wow! What a great book! I met these guys at the AZ Book Fest and took a chance on their book, and boy, was I pleased! I passed it along to my wife, who passed it on to her sister, who passed it on to her husband. I hope to see something else from this group soon. I especially enjoyed the horror section."
Ranked 5 ***** by A reader, reader (4/23/04) Reviews at Barnes & Noble
"This is an anthology put together by the Writers Round Table Phoenix. I just lent my copy to my cousin. It's a great read, because it has something for everyone. Contemporary, historical, verse, Sci-fi, horror, and inspirational."

"Sonoran Mirage is a great bedtime reader; the stories are all quite short, so it's perfect for getting in a quick read just before lights out."
