About Bill Garrison
I'm an unpubished writer living in Oklahoma City and I'm represented by Terry Burns of Hartline Literary Agency. By day, I'm a CPA/Internal Auditor, by night, I spend time with my kids and wife, and somewhere in there I find time to write. I have 2 completed novels and a current WIP that is complete and being edited. I'm focusing on the corporate/business thriller market and really excited about it. I'm a member of ACFW and have attended the Mt. Hermon Writers conference in 2006 and 3 ACW conferences in Oklahoma City. In September 2007, I attended the ACFW conference in Dallas.

Should we be more critical in book reviews?   4/03/2008 - 9:32 PM

My next novel (and the best one yet...) is in the plotting stages, and I'm having a hard time. I've written 3 novels (unpublished) and two were plotted via outlines and one was seat of the pants. I write supsense and I want every twist to lead one wa... (login or sign up to read more)

Please pray for my brother, whose son died tonight   11/09/2007 - 11:32 PM
My nephew Jack was born with severe physical problems at 24 weeks. He lived until he was 3 days short of his 4th birthday. There is a pic that I'm trying to make my main picture, but it I don't know if I did it correctly. Jon and Alyson Garrison ... (login or sign up to read more)

If they request, you MUST submit   10/16/2007 - 8:56 PM
I imagine about now is the time where writers decide its really maybe not a good idea to submit their proposal. I went to the ACFW conference about a month ago. I learned a lot and came home eager to polish my manuscript and proposal. I worked dai... (login or sign up to read more)

Hello! I would like to invite you to the FaithWriters' writing conference this August in Nashville. Last year it was so amazing--very different from normal conferences that are just facts and information. People are coming from all over the world for this gathering that will touch your heart, fill you up, and put you on fire for months to come!

There will also be opportunity for you to sell any published works, and pitch your ideas for unpublished works to agents or an editor.

Check out my blog for more details.
