INVITATION TO JOIN US

We are excited to extend an invitation to you for the inaugural Current Words One-And-Done Session—an exclusive opportunity designed for fiction and memoir writers to refine their skills within a supportive setting, and the best part is, it’s entirely free!

Hosted online by DPP founders Dianne Pearce and David Yurkovich, this session is scheduled for 9-11 AM Pacific time on select Saturdays. To ensure an intimate learning environment, each meeting is limited to five participants. This is your chance to engage with seasoned professional editors at no cost.

Registration: To secure your spot, submit a portion of your writing (between 450-550 words) for live discussion. Please email your selection to workshops@currentwords.com by January 20, 2024, to be considered for the February 3rd workshop. Include your full name, city, state, and the type of work you are developing (short stories, long-form fiction, memoir) in your application. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space. Upon confirmation of your enrollment, you will receive an email containing further instructions and the meeting URL. Participants must be willing to join a Zoom call and have their work constructively discussed in a small-group setting. Please commit to attending if you sign up, as there are very limited spaces available.

In case you do not secure a spot in the first meeting, we will provide information about our March date. We plan to select five new participants each month as long as there is interest. We eagerly anticipate sharing this enriching experience with you, learning more about you and your writing, and connecting with our fellow authors.

There is NO charge to participate. We so look forward to reading your writing!

NOIR

Kindle Vella

What’s a noir anthology?

It could be crime.

It could be the kind of story that would look perfect filmed in black and white.

It could be sexy.

It could be rough.

Someone’s going to die in this book.

Someone’s going to rip-off some old broads too.

That romance is doomed from the start.

I wouldn’t take that train if I were you.

The cops are dirty, and they’re out to take everyone down.

But who is really gonna take the fall?

Who’s gonna take that last, long, lonely walk?

Hard-Boiled and Loaded with Sin… CLICK HERE for the full book on Kindle Vella to read now on your phone for pennies a story.

Coming to paperback and eReaders in June.

Summer is hot, and so is the dark of night.

It’s the perfect time for noir.
