The Writing Network


Publisher info

The Writing Network is a growing publishing company founded six years ago, we have grown from a freelance writing business into ebook publishing and soon much larger.

We currently have three science fiction authors publishing with us, two with books available and one in the creation process with us. Although we are in discussions with others, we do not currently have an open submission status.

We believe that the author should control their work, so our goal is to work with our authors, guide them to an understanding of the business and support them every step forward toward success. TEAM achieves more than an indivdual.

    I found myself drawn into this book from the first page. She dragged me through the story and intertwined my thoughts with the lives of the women within these pages. Everything was created with great life and energy. The story is enjoyable and I couldn't put the book down. Ms. Barnard has found herself stuck with this devoted fan of her writing and incredible creations.

    I have been waiting with baited breath for this book. After discovering this author earlier this year, I devoured this series and couldn't wait for this book to be released. Not a surprise to me, he didn't disappoint me. This incredible book is once again full of twists, turns and intense emotional moments. It is one of those books that once you are drawn into it, you feel compelled to finish, and for this one, when you do, you're settled. If you like happily ever after, this isn't the book for you. If you like a touch of grit, realizim and tangible characters then you need to start with the first broadcast and read every book including this one. Thank you once again for an incredible book.
