Promoting Yourself- because it isn’t just about the writing

Orcas B

Writing skill is subjective, but good self-promotion can bring success. Social media is one stepping stone, but so is networking, conventions, retreats, workshops, forums, and professional organizations. Which will give you the best return for your time, and what if you’re not naturally outgoing?

Craft vs Business

Orcas B

With the introduction of Indie publishing, self publishing, and POD, writers tend to talk more about the business side of publishing rather than the craft of writing.  How should we fix that.

Independent Publishing

Orcas B

Independent publishing has taken off, especially with the recent rise of the hybrid-author, who is willing to sell work traditionally but not afraid to self-publish and promote. From ebooks to POD, which stories benefit from independent publishing and how do you get them ready? Bring your questions about editing, Kickstarter, cover art, sales price, and marketing.

How and Where do I Get Published?

Orcas B

You want a publisher, and they need your content. Great! But how do you find the right market, track your submissions, offer reprints, get into best-ofs, and generally advance your career to the next rung? From beginners to experienced authors, everyone needs somewhere to go. Or does self-publishing change all that?

Jaym Gates is an author and an editor I’ve had the pleasure to work with. She is driven to succeed and a lot of fun to hang out with. I really like the idea of WAR STORIES. This particular kickstarter has 3 days and less than $1000 to go. I’d love to see it funded. —I love cheesy action movies. I’m talking Statham and Lundgren. I’ll watch damn near anything with those two. My boyfriend and I have agreed to disagree about The Expendables. I don’t care how awful and unreal these are. They’re intended to be over-the-top. I also grew up in a family that owns and uses guns, has a strong military background, and generally tends toward the extreme right, politically. I’m a gearhead.

This one is all interviews and reviews: An interview with Firbolg Publishing. Pacific Northwest Haunts: Jennifer Brozek comes in out of the rain! I was interviewed by Cat Rambo for the SFWA blog. Shock Totem reviewer Sherri White gave DANGERS UNTOLD a very nice review. I found out via Apocalypse Ink Productions that I have a couple of new (to me) short reviews of my books: INDUSTRY TALK – five stars“This book contains a number of essays about two specific fields: Role-Playing Game Freelance Writing and Editing Anthologies. It was though the author had been looking over my shoulder and decided to help me out by giving advice for all of my pending projects. If you are interested in either topic, I highly recommend this book.” -Jason Andrew CALLER UNKNOWN – five stars“I was surprised at how well this was written.
