I hope you won’t mind me taking a short break from our horror schedule to invite you over to a brand new editing and writing resource – Armed With Pens. It’s actually formed in response to the demand staff at This Is Horror have received for articles on the craft of writing and editing. Editor and Manager of This Is Horror, Michael Wilson, decided to open up a brand new writing and editing collective with new posts on the art of writing and editing every week day! Joining Michael are various veterans of genre, and of the writing and editing world as a whole, including our very own Simon Marshall-Jones and Gary McMahon, Editor-in-Chief of Solaris Jonathan Oliver, Editor-in-Chief of Salt Publishing Steve Haynes, Literary Agent Sharon Ring and author of the excellent A Cold Season, Alison Littlewood.

If you would like to support this new venture please take the time to Like the Armed With Pens Facebook Page or Follow Armed With Pens on Twitter.

If you like the sound of all of this, why not check out our premiere articles

First up for Editors, it’s Simon Marshall-Jones:

Confessions of an editor (and how I learnt from my mistakes)

And, for Writers, it’s Sharon Ring:

With that said and done, let’s get back to the horror. This Is Horror, after all!
