Meet Lori Hayes
A Magazine for Readers and Writers! Pittsburg Press
Someone recommended this magazine to me and I want to share with you. It includes an article I wrote about creating 3D characters, a prelude to the class above. There is information in the magazine about writing and plenty of book intros to tempt your palate. I found one or two in there I plan on buying, so I hope this helps you.
