So many beginner writers ask me ‘do I really need a website?’. Of course, the answer is a resounding yes, but in my view they are really saying something quite different. I think they all know they need a website, but they are worried, scared and generally feeling overwhelmed at the idea of creating one. Or getting someone else to create one. Expensive. Tech nerdy. Complicated. So they try to avoid it and ask ‘do I really need a website?’ in the hope that I will say that of course they can go ahead and build a fabulous writing career …

Volunteer of the Month | Kristine Charles
An avid reader since before she could walk, Kristine Charles loves telling fairytales. Sure, they started out as stories of gnomes and elves and pixies, but now they’ve morphed into tales of contemporary romance in which successful women live the ups and downs of their lives, and generally find a fabulous man (or two!) along the way. When she’s not writing you can find Kristine working (in employee relations) or managing the RWA Ripping Start contest. She’ll usually have coffee, wine, or whisky by her side. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate. She also loves talking to newbie authors, paying forward …
