BARBARA began her publishing career with Fawcett Books before moving to Israel. One year later she established the Barbara Rogan Literary Agency, which specialized in representing American and European publishers and agents for Hebrew-language rights.

During this period Barbara served on the Board of Directors of the Jerusalem Book Fair.

Her first novel, Changing States, was published simultaneously in England, the U.S., and Israel. Shortly after its publication, she sold the literary agency and returned to New York.  Since then she’s published seven novels, most recently Suspicion and Hindsight (Simon & Schuster), and co-authored two non-fiction books. Her latest novel, A Dangerous Fiction, will be published in 2013 by Viking/Penguin. Barbara’s books have been translated into six languages, featured by all the major book clubs, optioned for movie and television and issued as audio books. She has taught fiction writing at Hofstra University and SUNY, and currently teaches online for Writers Digest and in her own school, Next Level Workshops.  She lectures widely on both the business and craft of writing and teaches seminars and master classes at writers’ conferences, including the Surrey Writers’ Conference in Vancouver.Her wesites are  - barbararogan.com- nextlevelworkshop.com

Her nonfiction work, The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing (co-authored with Anne K. Edwards) was a ForeWord Best Book of the Year Award Winner.

VS: Mayra, I want to thank you for being my guest here on The Writing Mama today. You and I have known each other via the internet for a few years now, but I am sure there is more to learn about you, as I have found out with others. Now I know you have a daughter who also writes, so my first question is do you have any other children and what are their ages? Mayra: First, I want to say thanks for having me on your blog, Virginia . I do have two kids: a girl (who is the writers) age 12 and a boy age 18 (he still counts as a kid for me!)....

2014 Nationa Noval Writing Month Begins!

I decided it was time to take my outline and short scene I did for a writing workshop and finally make it into the novel I've talked about for many years. What makes this novel so special to me isn't the fact I'm doing it for NaNo, but the fact it is based on true events from my junior year of high school. The main character is a mirror of myself in that year. The emotions I felt when I lost my best friend have never wholly been shared. I have rarely (and very lightly) talked about this event to anyone. I have never faced down this time in my life and I hope during this process I finally heal completely. A few words to my dear friend: Dear Jennifer, This is the first time in 20 odd years I have opened myself up since your passing. I think of you often and I have never forgot all the times we spent together. You truly were my best friend even though you left us all at such a young age. You were just stepping onto the path of life when it was suddenly and tragically...

Interview Friday with Mikey Brooks, author & Illustrator

VS: I want to thank you for being my guest here on The Writing Mama today. How long have you been writing? Mikey: I started writing when I was about 14 year old. I lived in a rural town in Missouri and our nearest neighbor was about a mile away. So friends were hard to come by. I fell in love with stories like Narnia and the Wizard of Oz and wished I could escape to these worlds. I had a hid out in the woods that surrounded our farm and I wrote about a world that existed in the reflection of a pond. I have a lot of fond memories about those woods. VS: What inspired you to write your books? Mikey: My children are the inspiration behind a lot of my stories now. Bean’s Dragons is based on my daughter and her imaginary dragons she has flying, parading, and trashing throughout the house. She was kind enough to let me glimpse into her world for just a moment to capture the magic within. My girls also love ABC books and shows. Because I love fantastical creatures, I wa...
