About Me

My photo
Alyssa Swan is the author of many published and unpublished works. After joining a writers' forum January 2011 she started honing her writing abilities and in August 2011 started submitting her work. Within six months she had amassed eight publications, all flash fiction pieces. Her ultimate goal is to have a chick-lit novel published before 2015. In the meantime, her published works can be found in a number of e-zines and anthologies. Alyssa is single, living in London, UK with her son and drawing unlimited inspiration from her friends, who are never short of a drama or two!

Grand News!

Eight shorts have been accepted and contracts completed since my last entry. The works, due for publication the latter part of 2012, will appear in two anthologies: Daily Flash and Daily Frights from Pill Hill Press. I prefer to see my work in print so these acceptances have left me beaming with pride. My accepted works tally is now seventeen in six months so I am extremely happy, as are my friends who couldn't stop telling me how brilliant I was as the news came in.
As for new work, I've only managed to write two paragraphs in two weeks. Disappointing indeed. I've managed to send out a few more submissions to off-balance my writer's block, but i secretly don't think any will be accepted. A full edit of all my works is called for I think but with school holidays I know I won't get anything done this week.
