Some Tips For Marketing your Books

Ah marketing! How I hate it! I think most writers do. Marketing oneself as a writer. It does make one feel like a bit of a prostitute at times, no doubt about it. Not only do we have to have good imaginations these days, the ability to come up with plots and actually take months to write them down, take the abuse of publishers and their numerous rejections, but we have to do so much more! We have to market ourselves, and our work. And that "ain't easy!" It can be time consuming, expensi… Continue

And so it begins

It would be fair for me to say I'm a little bit clueless right now. Not a feeling I enjoy, as I generally consider myself a fairly smart guy and knowledgeable in more than a few areas. What's more, I've written several novels now, albeit many of them are of questionable quality. Others, not so questionable - they just plain sucked. But now what? I've had three books accepted for publishing, yet none have come out yet and I'm not convinced that the publisher is going to do much for me. It's just… Continue
