ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Saturday’s show unveiled the inaugural installment of Yo Soy Latino’s newest segment, The Scribbler’s Corner. One weekend each month, celebrated local poet and author of "Red Wax Rose", Darlyn Finch will be in the studio to offer advice to aspiring writers and welcome a guest author from the Central Florida community.

The Corner’s first guest was Mary Ann de Stefano, author and editor. De Stefano is the creator of Mad About Words, a website that offers editorial services and workshops that help writers learn how to improve their craft.

The site features a free social networking section, the “Mad About Words Lounge”, where local talent can come together to pursue commons interests and gather feedback from one another.

“It’s a good place to connect to the creative community,” said de Stefano, “You can post work there or just interact with other writers.”

The lounge currently boasts over 200 members, giving writers the opportunity to experience numerous viewpoints and to benefit from the variety of advice available on the site.

“What I really love about the Mad About Words Lounge is that there are all ages of writers,” Finch said, referring to the various levels of expertise of the site’s members. She cited that visitors to the site range from “newbies” just starting out, to established writers with multiple works published.

The site is a free and provides an easy way to perfect your art and meet other writers with the same goals and aspirations.
