DIANA LAURENCE SERVING AS STAR REVIEWER
FOR THE NEXT BIG WRITER

MILWAUKEE, WI - Diana Laurence, award-winning and bestselling author of Soulful Sex: Erotic Tales of Fantasy and Romance, has been selected as one of five Star Reviewers for the new online writers' community "TheNextBigWriter."
The newly-launched, fee-based service brings together aspiring authors, providing them with the opportunity to share their work and receive critiques and feedback from other members as well as reviewers. The highest rated works win cash prizes and publishing contracts. The service also offers participants various writers' resources. The company is based in Newton, Mass., and is the brainchild of Sol Nasisi, formerly the Senior Vice President of Online Marketing for Bank of America and a freelance author.

The highest rated authors posting to TheNextBigWriter will earn critiques from the panel of five "Star Reviewers," professional authors employed by the service to provide their guidance and advice. These Star Reviews become the property of the authors and can be referenced for promotional purposes.

"I'm thrilled to have been invited to be a Star Reviewer by TheNextBigWriter," said Laurence. "When I was starting out I would have loved to participate in this kind of community. It will be great to have the opportunity to give whatever advice I can to talented new writers."

Laurence has been freelancing for over 25 years and has published a number of fiction and non-fiction works on subjects as diverse as Lutheran theology, professional hockey and Jungian psychology. For four years she published the popular weekly humor ezine "Hockey Snacks," and most recently has risen to success for her romance fiction, which she terms "erotica with soul."
