Writing in the Modern Age Annual Post/Year in Review: New Beginnings with 2021 and a Flashback of 2020
Hi, readers! I hope your Christmas was enjoyable, and you’re all staying healthy and safe.
The more I think about New Year’s Eve this time, it becomes apparent that we could all use a reset, so to speak. Rather than making the usual resolutions – which most people tend to ignore anyway – we should look at 2021 as an opportunity to start over. A new beginning.
Let’s definitely think more positive in the coming year. And with any luck, the chaos with this pandemic will calm down (especially with the arrival of the vaccine).
Try something new. Pursue the dreams you were afraid to chase before. We often regret the actions we didn’t take rather than the ones we went for.
In any case, it’s time to reflect a little on what happened on the Writing in the Modern Age blog in 2020. We made so much progress! Though there were only 46 posts this year, with all the featured giveaways, articles, book spotlights and interviews, we managed to amass a total of 174 guests or participating authors for our events, along with 483 prizes handed out. Plus, this is our 579th post overall on the blog. That means we'll quickly reach a 600 post anniversary sometime in 2021.
Woo! That’s awesome!
So, let’s take a closer look at our annual review, shall we? I’ll include this year’s featured writers/authors with their latest book or relevant work below. Also, you will find a main website URL, Amazon author page, and the general region where each individual lives. Afterward, I’ve listed all the blog posts we had, divided by respective category. Sound good? □

Special Giveaways
Nice! There were so many featured guests and books, as well as additional info that readers and aspiring writers could use throughout the year! □ Many thanks for all the donations which were provided for our contests, and Writing in the Modern Age would be nothing without all the hard work from those participating authors. Also, of course, the blog would mean very little without the fans who stop by all the time. Thanks for visiting this blog!
As always, I wish you loads of success in all your endeavors. Stay safe, take care, and have a wonderful, healthy life in 2021. Happy New Year and happy reading!

Cool new feature!
Attention
The fact is…our policy has changed considerably, at least for a while. Check out our 'Blog Policy' for more information about the types of features offered, how you can purchase a guest spot, my policy on review requests, and rules for guest writers. Starting from 2021, I was charging for some types of posts. Of course, there is never a fee for a guest article, as long as you adhere to the blog's theme. I also will not charge for big multi-author events which I host (these are giveaways or participation questions, and it's obvious what materials you're providing). If you'd like to submit a guest book review (no, I don't write book reviews, please don't ask me), I will always accept those and not charge you a fee at all. Starting in 2022, I WILL NO LONGER BE posting new release features, cover reveals, Author's Bookshelf features, author interviews, character interviews, and poetry spotlights. I am far too overwhelmed with other work to do constant blog posts. I'll still be writing my own articles sometimes and hosting multi-author special features. For companies that can afford a sponsored post, I'm willing to discuss a reasonable quote for a specialized article which fits within the blog's theme (No blatant promotions). Email me atmarieannlavender@gmail.comif you wish to participate in a unique post. Feel free to approach me with your creative ideas about a blog post. Slots at Writing in the Modern Age are always first come, first served. Contact us and reserve a spot! Refer to the 'guest schedule' at the top of the screen for further clarification about availability. Thanks for understanding.Disclaimer
Thoughts and opinions by guest authors do not necessarily represent any thoughts and opinions by this website's administrator, nor are they directly endorsed. All writings on the blog are subject to review and editing. Please visit our blog policy to understand the site's theme a little better.Use our hashtag #WritModAge when you mention us!Should you edit your own work?
