In October, we put out a call to our Balloon Juice writers, asking if anyone was interested in having their books work included in our list of published authors. There was quite a bit of interest, and the result is the first draft you will find at the Our Authors link in the footer on the new site.
So much talent here on Balloon Juice!
Dorothy Winsor’s comment about her book in the morning thread reminded me that this is the perfect time to ask for a second round of submissions by our authors. Past time, actually! I had planned to have an updated list in place by December 1, in time for gift-buying season, so I am running out of daylight on this one.
For our published authors, we are asking for Balloon Juice people only, not family members. (The cousin to this list – Our Artists & Artisans – can include spouses and partners. John was waiting for the new site to put out his call for artists and artisans, so I suspect we may see that soon.)
What you need to know before submitting your information:
- Up to 3 publications can be listed on Our Published Authors page. (fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, plays, poetry…)
- They must be written by Balloon Juice people only, not family members.
- Please please please submit your information in the format below.
- Please copy the contents of the window below into your comment and fill in the blanks.

We have a better idea of what we are looking for and what the limitations are this time around, so if you supplied information during the first call, please check Our Authors in the footer so we can make any changes or additions to your information.
If you want to make changes or additions to your listing, please use the format above.
Update: If you do not want us to know that “Little Surfer” is actually Diana VanWriter, then please send email to WaterGirl at the balloon juice address. You can copy the format into your email message and fill it in there. I”ll need to know what nym connects with which author, but that will never be published anywhere, so no one else will see it.

How ’bout those of us who are still working on something? Maybe we could have some posts where we could ask those who have gotten farther along for some wisdom and other help.

@Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.):
Good idea.
NotMax
Just books? Not stories, plays or academic journal articles?
WaterGirl
@PaulWartenberg: I will keep this open through end of day Sunday, at least. At whatever point I stop checking, I will update the post and add a comment so no one will have to wonder whether their submission will be seen, or has been seen.
WaterGirl
I also added an update up top for anyone who wants to be included but does not want everyone to see that your nym is connected to a particular author.
debbie
@WaterGirl:
Would now be a good time to ask about the font used for posts?
WaterGirl
@Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.): @schrodingers_cat:
You will find exactly that on TaMara’s Writer’s Chatting series. I hope to feature Tamara’s Writer’s Chatting under Featuring at some point, earlier rather than later.
WaterGirl
@NotMax: Right now, the big headings are Fiction, Non-Fiction, Plays and Poetry. Short fiction goes under Fiction. I don’t know if short non-fiction even exists. ??
I had not given any previous thought to Academic Journal articles.

I swore I’d never write again after my dissertation but, when I tell my stories, people say you have to write this stuff down. What do people think about dictating the stories and worrying about the writing later? I always wish I’d got my dad to talk into a mic more.

Steeplejack
@Raven:
There are definitely two parts to writing: composition (making up something) and editing/structuring (shaping that something). Too often, people try to do both parts at once. Or they think that “writing” means that they have to start out at the beginning of their story and proceed through it in a straight line. That’s how the reader perceives the story, but very few are written like that.
The important thing at the start is to get something down. For writerly writers that is a rough draft, or several rough drafts, or even just bits and bobs of scenes or whatever. And it could just as well be a collection of oral notes or anecdotes that could be shaped up later.
In short, go for it!
WaterGirl
@Badgetoon:
Graphic novels fit under Our Published Authors. There is already one graphic novel in there. I will add that to the list up top. thanks

Absolutely. Get them down any way you can. When you listen back to them all, I bet you’ll find stuff you never would have thought to look for.

WaterGirl
@NotMax: TaMara’s recipe book is under Non-Fiction.
WaterGirl
@PaulWartenberg: I see you ditched your original non-fiction work in favor if these three!
Yarrow
@Raven: Since they’re stories you tell, see if you can tell them and have someone record or video you while you do. You can also have some voice transcription thing running. It’ll be more comfortable for you since that’s how you usually tell them and a gold mine for anyone who might want to watch or listen to it later. Your audience might also ask questions once the main story is done and you can expand on it. If you’re just talking into a microphone on your own that won’t happen.
WaterGirl
@PhoenixRising: I put that under Non-Fiction and then memoir. If that’s not right, please let me know.

oatler.
@WaterGirl: Jack Vance wrote a comic novel by that name; in that era he was probably making fun of “horse opera”.
Hob
@WaterGirl: I personally am not crazy about calling all comics “graphic novels”— and that goes for a lot of other cartoonists I know as well. It tends to get used in a confusing way that may or may not include non-novel-like things, like collections of short comics or nonfiction works. Since you’re not distinguishing between book-length and shorter pieces in other media, I would suggest just saying “Comics”, or “Comics/Graphic Novels” if you insist.
WaterGirl
@Hob: I completely agree that not all comics are graphic novels. I am wondering if graphic novels should get its own category or if it fits within the larger “Fiction” category, that does include short stories as well as novels.
Are you thinking it should not get its own category? There are only two graphic novels so far, and one hasn’t been submitted yet, but we do have the poetry and plays categories, and there aren’t many in each yet. I really don’t have a strong opinion either way.
