  • Update & Goodreads Nomination

    June 4th, 2013

    Shannon A Thompson’s novel, Minutes Before Sunset, has been nominated for Book of the Month for July at Goodreads! Read more and help her out!

    Shannon A Thompson's avatarShannon A. Thompson

    I have exciting news, and I could really use some Goodreads help!

    My novel, Minutes Before Sunset, was nominated for Book of the Month for July, and it’s in the initial voting process. If you have a Goodreads, I’d love if you could follow this link and second Christie on message 19. It’d really help me out, and I can thank you and  your blog on my next post!

    Speaking of blogging, Thursday (June 6) will be my last blog post for one week. I’ll be back June 12th (the next Wednesday.) I am going on vacation! So I might send a picture or two from my phone, but it’ll be difficult to post writing tips or publishing tips while I’m gone. I appreciate the patience, because I’ll come back with a whole list of new websites, tips, and encouraging posts to support your novels and other…

  • Launch Day!!! Pipe Dreams is Here!

    June 3rd, 2013

    Help spread the word about Destiny Allison’s new book Pipe Dreams! Visit her blog for suggested tweets and blurbs.

    destinyallison's avatarDestiny Allison

    Pipe_Dreams_Front_CoverYes, I’m dancing on my toes ( alternately literally and metaphorically) because the day has finally arrived. There were some glitches — the paperback won’t be available on Amazon for a few more days — and some scary moments, but it’s done.

    I’m free to read other people’s books and I don’t have to revise it again!!!

    As most of you know, 25% of the sales of this book will go toward helping another author or artist achieve his or her dreams.  All you have to do to be entered to win is help promote this book.

    For those of you who have already said you want to help, it’s time to rock and roll. 

    Here are some talking points:

    If you like Margaret Atwood, you will love Pipe Dreams.

    Support other authors and artists. Buy this book. #pipedreams

  • Help make it happen! Indie Gogo Campaign

    June 3rd, 2013

    There are great perks to be had if you choose to help fund this writer’s project!

    C.N. Faust's avatarC.N. Faust

    Hello my darlings,

    So in the span of a few hours, I decided not to go with a Kickstarter campaign. For several reasons I began an Indie Gogo campaign instead (which is the hipster version of Kickstarter). It works the same way, and I switched my goal from $1,000 to $2,000 (because after they and Paypal take their cut I will have just the amount I need).

    But here is a link to the campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-age-of-waking-death-an-epic-fantasy-gothic-horror-book-series/x/3512153?c=home Even if you cannot donate, please spread the word! I am ready to make this series happen in a big way!

    cover4

    Perks for donating:

    $20 – a poster of “The Dragon’s Disciples” signed by the author!

    $35 – the poster, plus an eBook copy of “The Dragon’s Disciples”!

    $50 – the poster, plus a signed paperback copy of “The Dragon’s Disciples”!

    $100 – the poster, plus signed paperback copies of “The Dragon’s Disciples” AND…

  • Writing 2.3 – A Contract with the Reader

    June 1st, 2013

    I think sometimes as writers we forget about our own preferences as readers. How many of us writers would be willing to pick up (even for free) a book or story if the first few sentences don’t grab us? Read on for more about contracts between readers and writers and for the lively discussion.

    brainsnorts's avatarbrainsnorts inc.

    secret-window (2)

    When I took a graduate class called “Writing the Novel” a few years ago, I learned two very important things.  First, if you tell a writer that her work in progress is a romance novel when she thinks she’s writing literary fiction, be prepared to see a chair fly across the room.  Second, there’s something called “The Contract with the Reader.”  Let’s forget about throwing chairs for a while and focus on the contract, which was something I had never heard of before.

    Let’s pretend you’re in a bar and a guy sitting to your left says, “You want to hear a story?”  Of course you don’t, but you say, “Sure.  Thrill me.”  He knows sarcasm, so he says, “Tell you what.  If I give you a four-sentence setup, and you agree that you’re interested in hearing the rest, then you owe me a beer.  How’s that?”  So of course…

  • 6 Tips for Staying Organized While Writing a Series

    June 1st, 2013

    Are you writing a fictional series? Are you lost in a sea of characters and events that are increasingly difficult to manage? Then read Sarah Cradit’s post on how to get your series in order.

    Sarah M. Cradit's avatar…and then there was Sarah

    com.DreamFactory.ebook_.ASongofIceandFire_1Writing a series is not as simple as just writing several books in a row. Nor is it as easy as taking one long story and breaking it into several parts. There are a lot of nuances to writing a series that many writers just do not think about until they’re smack in the middle of it, and by that time its either too late OR you’ve just created a mountain of work for yourself that you might have avoided.

     Maybe, just maybe, I can help you avoid some of that work.
