All authors need an editor. Self-published authors should not publish a manuscript without hiring a competent editor to improve and polish it. For the purposes of this article, an editor is someone who suggests changes in overall plot, setting, characters and theme. I am not talking about a copy-editor (although copy-editors are important). Before I […]
From Karina Fabian Video book trailers are a fun way to get a potential reader’s attention. They not just for YouTube, but are also terrific for book tours, guest blogging, websites, etc. I’m teaching how to make Video Book Trailers at Savvy Authors starting October 31. The class (which I’ve taught in conferences) has been […]
As Vice President of the Catholic Writers Guild, it is my responsibility to share board news on the fifth Friday (whenever that occurs). Last Friday on this blog, in sharing what the CWG Board discussed at our recent Skype meeting, Karina said, “Officer Elections are in November! We discussed it and we will stay on […]
One step to being a better blogger is knowing the standards by which you judge yourself. Oh, there are plenty of other people’s standards that you could go by. You could look at your traffic. You could measure number of comments and hot topics. But all of that leaves a bad taste in my mouth […]
After a break for the summer (though we did meet), the officers are up and Skyping again, catching up on the past and prepping for the future. First thing we want you to know: Officer Elections are in November! We discussed it and we will stay on as your officer cadre if you wish (though […]
Last week, we talked about being a better blogger through focus. This week, let’s talk about something that I’m struggling with even as I type: doing one thing at a time. It’s no surprise that as I was looking for an image to go with this post, the word “multitasking” seemed synonymous with “stress.” There’s […]
A couple of weeks ago, I asked if you were making yourself a better blogger. In the comments, there was a resounding call for “tell us how to be better bloggers!” So here I am. I’m not sure I’m the right person to do it, but I’ll tell you what I think. Just because I’ve […]
Because self-published authors don’t have a publishing company to help them promote their work, it’s important to take the initiative in marketing. Connecting with your fans on a personal level is a great way to market. This can be done through attending conferences as well as interacting with them through your blog, facebook or other […]
It is the end of the month (almost) and I want to dedicate this space to a quick wrap-up of our very successful writers conference in Valley Forge as well as tell you about our upcoming Retreat. The Catholic Writers Conference LIVE was a smashing success. We had 40 paid attendees plus an uncountable number […]
I blame this weekly column for the folder in my Google Reader entitled “Blogging.” Before this column, I operated mostly by observation, relying on some of my favorite podcasts and blogs to keep me filled in on the geeky stuff I should know. Now, however, I have hundreds of blogging columns to read. That’s one […]
