Phylis Warady

Long time member of Sierra Writers, the tireless and dedicated Phylis Waraday will speak at our next meeting, on Wednesday, January 13 at 6:30 p.m.

By her own account, on those rare occasions when Phylis Waraday is at a loss for words, she is re-energized by the framed 2003 Ray Bradbury Creative Writing award for her short story entitled, “A Neat and Tidy Crime” that hangs on her office wall. The award certificate, signed by the famed Sci/Fi author is all the reassurance Phylis needs to move forward.
In her January talk, her main topic will be “The Writing and Markering of Short Fiction.” Sharing, her insights on the writing craft and career, Phylis Waraday will also expound on the pitfalls and joys of entering contests, savvy ways to track down publishers and the value of online workshops to hone one’s craft.
Her award-winning short fiction appears regularly in anthologies, literary journals and magazines in the USA and Canada. Her most recent credits include “God Bless Marilyn” in The Creative Writer: “A Deathly Chill’ In Fresh! Literary Magazine and “All the Way to Heaven” in the 2009 Oasis Journal. Her recent longer works include “The Persistent Suitor” and “Virtue and Vice”. Both may be acquired as either e-books or trade paperbacks.
Don’t miss this!
