Your Novel With Personal Experience, Avoiding the Pitfalls,
and Finding the Best Publisher for It
Our presenter will be Kathleen Toomey Jabs, who will discuss two issues with
which many writers struggle: the process of deciding how much detail to include
when writing fiction informed by the author's real-life experiences, and where
and how to best publish your book.
Her new novel Black Wings, published by Fuze Publishing, is a mystery set
at The Naval Academy, in which Bridget, a female midshipmen feels compelled to
investigate the death of her roommate, the first female fighter pilot before her
plane crashed into the sea. The Navy claims it's an accident, but the facts
don’t add up.
The story is loosely based on Kathleen's experiences as a midshipmen in one of
the first classes to admit women at the U.S. Naval Academy of which she is a
graduate. She is currently a Captain in the Navy Reserve and holds an MA from
the University of New Hampshire and an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason
University. Her stories have been published in a number of literary journals
and received several prizes, including selection in the National Public Radio
Selected Shorts program.
Fuze Publishing, a boutique publishing
company based in the Washington, DC area with West Coast offices in Ashland,
Oregon and Petaluma, California is continually seeking long-term partnerships
with new and established writers whose careers they can develop and whose talent
they can promote.
