PHOTOFANTASM SOUNDGARDEN: NUDEDRAGONS TO KING ANIMAL — THE FIRST EVER FAN-BASED COMPILATION PHOTOBOOK — IS NOW AVAILABLE! The only book ever created by the fans for any high-profile band, Photofantasm Soundgarden is dedicated to rock pioneers Soundgarden. It features commentary and recollections from fellow artists, the music press, and other notable contributors. SEATTLE, May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Photofantasm Soundgarden: Nudedragons to King Animal highlights the Seattle band’s rebirth via hundreds of pages’ worth of photographs, graphic art, anecdotes, interviews, and reviews. In a truly collaborative effort, fans, artists, musicians, authors, photographers, and other notable personalities all help chronicle Soundgarden's performances across the globe from 2010 to 2013. To quote Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge author Mark Yarm in his foreword to Photofantasm Soundgarden, the book is “by the fans, for the fans”—the book boasts more than 300 contributors from more than 30 countries on six continents—and captures what promises to be just the beginning of a very long second chapter!

The heart of this book is a section devoted to the loving memory of an extraordinary friend and Soundgarden fan who courageously fought cancer. All net proceeds will go to Canary Foundation, the first and only foundation in the world solely dedicated to the funding of early cancer-detection solutions. Photofantasm totals 592 pages, much of it exclusive content. -
Novel Planning Kit Version 03.2020.11
Novel Planning Kit Version 03.2020.11 Created by Terry J. Benton Dear Writers, I started my first manuscript over 10 years ago, and it would take seven more manuscripts and one novella, countless tears and frustration, and lots of effort devoted to studying craft and learning as much as possible before I signed with an agent. Throughout this journey, I’ve enjoyed giving back to the community and helping those who are coming up through the query trenches behind me. I created this Novel Planning Kit from a combination of useful exercises I’ve employed over the last decade to successfully plan fiction novels with the hope that it will assist newer writers on their paths to publication and beyond. There are a plethora of ways to plan, write, and revise a manuscript, and this is just one of thousands of paths available to you—and may not suit your unique needs. I urge you to continue researching widely to find the methods that work best for you and your process. This kit is intended as a FREE resource for writers. Simply print the kit in its entirety and complete the worksheets to begin planning your new novel. Good luck and happy writing!
