Meredith Mansfield, Author

Here are my 2016 Writing Goals:

1. WAR OF MAGIC: Complete first draft, revisions, get critiques, revise again, polish, and publish
2. Revise the already-published “Becoming Lioness” and publish the new edition. Pull together the tie-in short stories, “Hunter and Huntress” and “The Seeker”. Put them through the same revision process.
3. Publish a boxed set of the DUAL MAGICS series.
4. MAGE STORM: Rewrite this as an epic fantasy. Same revision process as above. Try to publish in 2016 or early 2017.
5. BECOME: TO CATCH THE LIGHTNING: Get a first draft done.
6. Planning, world-building, etc. for some of the other stories on my back burner:
   1. Another story in the same world as DAUGHTER OF THE DISGRACED KING.
   2. A set of fairy-tale retellings I’ve been playing with.
   3. The prequels to the DUAL MAGICS series that explain how the world got that way.
   4. The sequels to MAGE STORM.
   5. My Weird Oz story.
   6. The last novel in the Chimeria series.
7. I would dearly love to be able to get to a writers’ conference somewhere in there, but that will depend on both time and finances.

I think that should keep me busy.
