Writers Keep Telling Publishing What’s Wrong. Are We Listening? Guest Post: E.J. Ferguson of Three Dragons Press
Writers Aren’t Imagining the Editorial Problem Hello. If you do not know me, I'm Elizabeth Ferguson, Founder of Three Dragons Press.

Show me Your Editing Chops
Putting Isarina back into the world has become an unexpected stress test, not just of the book, but of my own understanding of what I built. When someone challenges a fundamental choice, I go back to the manuscript and test it: is this choice actually doing what I think it is doing? Could another solution do it better?

OG pup was a rarity. I found her by accident in a shelter, with no family, looking for a border collie mix, and didn't even understand how a

Unlocking the Origin of Odin and the Wild Hunt
Imagine an enormous, rough mountain range with winter coming. No, I don't mean the Alps. Germany once covered Poland and Czechia, and the mountain range known as the Giant mountains, or the Riesengebirge. Due to church outlawing pre-Christian religions, these practices became buried and hard to access, unlike the Norse versions which appeared later in Iceland, written by Christians trying to create their own alternative by building up this Odin figure as Allfather. Icelandic
