Turning Leaf Tavern & Author Video Series
January 13, 2025 - It's turning into a busy, hectic year! I'm busy editing my bread cookbook, which I hope to have on the shelves by mid-summer. I have submissions coming into the anthology, which is making me so happy! And to top it all off, I'm working on a series of "how not to suck as a professional writer" videos, the first of which is already out: https://tinyurl.com/head2page The Kickstarter for the anthology is up and will be opening on February 1st, and you can find it here: Tavern Kickstarter. If you're interested in this anthology, and would like to help make it a reality, please consider donating to it when it goes live. Copies of the anthology are a perk, as well as autographed copies. If you can't donate, please share! Don't forget, we're also looking for submissions to the anthology: https://mallysonszabo.weebly.com/turning-leaf-tavern.html Lessons on Writing January 6, 2025 - It's a new year, and so I'm starting new things! I'm working on a series of lessons for people to learn about taking a book from "idea" to "marketed book in stores." I'm not an expert, but I do seem to be managing to pull together my novels and cookbooks, so perhaps there's something I know that will be of use to others. There will be videos on YouTube, plus shorts on TikTok (if it continues to "be a thing"), and a written portion as well, with homework. I hope some of you will join me on this journey! I'm expecting the first lesson to go up this Wednesday. Oh, and Happy New Year! Check out the current information about The Turning Leaf Tavern Anthology! You can send in submissions from January 1 until March 31, 2025. The Clay Table October 21, 2024 - My newest book, The Clay Table, is now available on Amazon, and I will have copies for sale at upcoming events! This small cookbook covers five recipes from each of five different time periods: Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Medieval, 18th Century American, and modern day. Each uses a clay cooking vessel, be it pot, pipkin, tagine, or pan. They are tasty additions to any modern menu, while still touching on the history of early human cooking. |

Allyson's Writing Tips: |
Don't stint on editing. It's very difficult to edit your own work, because your brain automatically glosses over your errors. Even good editors will turn to someone else to edit their own work.
