WordSmitten Guidelines. For an author to be a guest on the show, these are our guidelines. (Note: We select editors and publishing executives by invitation only.) 1. We look for guests who have depth, humor, and insight into the craft of writing. 2. If you are a debut author, please send a query letter to our office and include either a synopsis or A.R.E. (advance edition) of your book. 3. If you are self-published, our policy, currently, is to not review non-trade publications. That policy may change in 2009, so check back with us. 4. We receive too many requests to personally respond to each request. If your query letter is brief, polite, and witty, we tend to respond if we are interested in bringing you in as a guest. 5. We produce and broadcast interviews from our studios located in St. Petersburg, Florida. We do broadcast live from our BTR home when our guests are based in New York. Thank you for your interest in being a guest on the WordSmitten about the books broadcast. We appreciate your support of these programs. For more information, visit us at www.wordsmitten.com and if you are interested in our workshops, visit us at Meetup.com for our schedule.

I'm so sorry I'll miss Natalie Goldberg live, but I'll be traveling on Sunday, the 18th! Darn. I have been a fan since I first bought "Writing Down The Bones" back in 1988 or thereabouts. I'll be sure to catch the archive. Olivia

The 2008 TenTen Short Story finalists are: Lindsay Coppens, Worcester, MA, for her story titled, "Passing Days" Grace Marcus and Alan Sirois, Doylestown, PA, for their co-authored story titled, "No Show" Jerome Powell, San Diego, CA, for his story titled, "This Beauty" George Sheanshang, New York, NY, for his story titled, "New Gloom" Gila Tal-Green, Beit Shemesh, Israel, for her story titled, "The Costume Room" For more information about the TenTen Short Story competition, visit www.wordsmitten.com and click on The Ten Ten. Some background on the WordSmitten short story award. This event is a writing exercise that requires a short story written with precision, told with exactly 1,010 words. Each year, we award $1,010 (thus The TenTen Award) and we anticipate that the winning writer will spend one section of the award on something vital, like a new computer, rent, a mortgage, or a donation to their favorite charity (often, themselves). In addition, we anticipate that the ten dollars will go to something to celebrate the award and we hope that might be a great glass of wine, a beer, something green and/or edible like exotic tea. Whether it is a glass of champagne or a water filter for the kitchen faucet, we hope that the $10.00 goes to something that includes friends and family. That's the story behind the WordSmitten Ten Ten Award. We look for great things from our winners and wish them great success in their writing.

An ambitious, luminously written novel that ranges seamlessly between the past and future and back again to the present, The Known World weaves together the lives of freed and enslaved blacks, whites, and Indians — and allows all of us a deeper understanding of the enduring multidimensional world created by the institution of slavery.
