13 Ways How Writers Can Survive The Dreaded Waiting Stage

13 Ways How Writers Can Survive The Dreaded Waiting Stage

written by Guest Post
Note: This post is by Gemma Hawdon. Gemma lives in Melbourne, Australia. She writes articles, guest posts and short stories and has just completed a MG children’s fantasy book. She also writes a blog, Top Of The Slush Pile, which documents the adventures of writing a book and trying to get published. T: @gemmaleehawdon

We’re told writing a book is the easy part. ‘Pah!! Wait til you try and publish it!’ they warn us.

And then, after months or years of carefully honing our precious stories we emerge from hibernation, with arthritic fingers and hunched backs, and realise we’ve reached that stage. It’s judgment time…

What’s the Absolute Best Price to Charge for a Kindle Book?

What’s the Absolute Best Price to Charge for a Kindle Book?

written by Bryan Hutchinson

That’s the question that is confounding a great many authors who are self-publishing via the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) program.

I’m one of those authors. I have several books on Amazon already, priced between $2.99 and $9.99. But what is the right price? Where’s the sweet spot? What price works the best?

I will share with you which price I have had the most success with, and I am going to ask for your help in pricing my new Book “Happy Every Day”.

Priceless?

Publish Your Next Book with Crowdfunding

Publish Your Next Book with Crowdfunding

written by Guest Post
From Bryan: Crowdfunding has become a hot topic of discussion for self-published authors and since I’ve received quite a few questions about crowdfunding, I asked Justine Schofield, the communications coordinator of Pubslush (a global crowdfunding platform only for books, where authors can raise funds and gauge initial market viability for their book projects), to guest post and tell us a little about it. Justine has agreed to also answer any questions you may have in the comments. Thank you, Justine! – This is the first in a series of posts on crowdfunding I will host.

You may be wondering: What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding has become a new go-to resource for artists, entrepreneurs and businesses that are seeking funding. It is a means to raise funds and mitigate the financial risk of their creative projects or business ventures.

Top 7 Reasons You Should Give Your Book Away For Free! Yes – Free!

Top 7 Reasons You Should Give Your Book Away For Free! Yes – Free!

written by Bryan Hutchinson

Early in 2013 I decided to do something that scared the living hell out of me. I decided to give away my memoir, One Boy’s Struggle, for free via Story Cartel in exchange for honest reviews.

It was scary, because, I mean, really, who gives away their book for free? How can you put food on the table that way? Baby needs new shoes! Crazy. Just crazy.

Or, maybe not. As it turns out it was the best thing I did for my memoir…

written by Bryan Hutchinson

Are you in the market for a book cover design? If you are, this post could save you time, frustration, and MONEY!

My new book “Happy Every Day” (coming soon) was designed by the wonderful, easy to work with Ana at books-design.com. I love the final product, but to get it I had to pay more than the original quote.

Next time I won’t make the same mistakes and I will hire Ana again…

How Writers Can Deal With and Overcome Rejection

How Writers Can Deal With and Overcome Rejection

written by Bryan Hutchinson

Sometimes I sit here staring at the blank screen unable to create. It begs for a word or two, any words will do.

The loss of words, of a will to write, can be so unbearable.

Have you ever experienced the hurt that comes with rejection, feeling that what you are creating doesn’t matter, that it’s pointless and no one cares?
