Authortrek

I shall resist the lame Star Trek puns ("to boldly go where where no writer has gone before," yadda yadda yadda...) and cut to the chase: My good pal Jai Clare is New Writer Of The Week at Authortrek!

What the chuffin' crikey is Authortrek? I hear you ask. Actually, I had no idea until I found out Jai was their New Writer Of The Week so I went and had a look. Turns out that Authortrek is an online directory for writers wanting to promote themselves to agents and/or publishers. In their own words...

We at Authortrek.com believe that there is a dire need for journalism and information about new writers who do not have agents and publishing deals. Why should such talented writers have to wait around on the slush pile, waiting to be discovered?
Anyone can create a profile and the whole thing is free so you have no excuse not to sign up... unless you're not a writer - there wouldn't be much point in that case.

So, well done to Jai for being New Writer Of The Week at Authortrek.
