At Scrivenings Press, we know one of the biggest challenges writers face is creating characters who are nothing like themselves. In this guest post, suspense author Heidi Glick shares her story of stepping outside her own experience to write authentic law enforcement characters.

Back to Work
This year definitely hasn’t gone the way most of us planned. That’s not to say it’s all been bad, because if we’re honest, it hasn’t. Many good things have happened in my life despite the craziness going on around me. However, I fully admit I’m not exactly where I thought I would be. When 2020 […]
