Interviews/Features
Alaskans among those attempting a novel in November
November 08, 2009
The ‘NaNoWriMos’ are at it again: starting and finishing a novel in the month of November (National Novel Writing Month), no matter what it takes--and one group in Anchorage is offering encouragement through regular “write-ins.” Though so far I haven’t finished this annual writer’s marathon, I love the idea of it. Last year, I kept at it until felled by the double-whammy of a cross-country work trip and a strep-like infection. (I do treasure the memory of my airplane seatmate--at trip’s end--begging to know what it was that had kept me scribbling so hard from Seattle to North Carolina.) This year, I’m not a contender. But I encourage you to learn more about this event, which is quite literally inspirational in that it provides the inspiration most writers confess to me they need most: a DEADLINE.

September 25, 2009
Independent authors have been among the first to embrace digital publishing and distribution. When I noticed that longtime AlaskaWriters.com subscriber Justin Oldham had become an author available on my Kindle, I asked if he would share the experience and some tips for others who might want to e-publish. In this story, Justin tells how and why he did it, and why he finds satisfaction —and freedom—in the format.
Questions & Answers with Charles Hayes
December 17, 2003
“Sales as a direct result of the Web site are sporadic, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out why I’m all of a sudden getting lots of attention.”
— Charles D. Hayes
Alaska Writers Homestead talks with Wasilla, Alaska author and self-learning advocate Charles Hayes about how he turned his personal passion for what he has dubbed “self-education” into a well-subscribed newsletter, active Web site and self-publishing company that has sold, he says, “thousands” of books. His most recent book was a novel, Portals in a Northern Sky.
