Write a Book... Publish A Book...Then Market That Book?
I can say that when I began the journey to write a book I understood that there was more steps to the process of writing. I thought it was a matter of publishing the book and since I write a blog, there would be readers who would at some point buy a book.
I didn't think of marketing in that regard. I believed that I had some marketing done before the book was released but I was not being

Can You Publish a Book For Free?
I would love to say that the answer is, yes, you can publish a book for free, but I would be telling a half-truth. Consider the time that you work on writing the book, and then editing the book. You will likely also spend time writing and re-writing a query letter to literary agents or to publishers.
That time is money. Although you do not need to spend money on your book, you will spend time

How Much Money Should You Sell Your Book For?
This is more of a question of how much you want in terms of profit and how much money you want to make by publishing a book. Most writers will be pleased that they made some money with their self-published book, and some will want more.
The time comes, when you want to keep your book sales going, you will need to consider that money- your profits will go down if the book price is not lowered.

Publishing an E-book on Kindle
While everyone will write about the importance of publishing a book, there is another growing area where many writers will not think of working with until after they publish a book. This is the e-book.
It is still the same as publishing, but it is in a different format. Some publishers will argue that this is a means not to make a profit with their writing. After all, you will have two

The Cost of Publishing a Book
There is no such thing as free. There is always something that you have to do or not do to pay for the free item. I would say that most writers will not think of how much time they spend doing something that they love to do. I can admit that when I write a book, I tend to forget the time. I can tell people that the book I published took three years to write, but I often do not think of time

I know that I need to make some changes to my next book and I can say that my editor agrees with me on that front. I've learned a lot of things by even publishing a book where the sales are still going steady and I am able to head into one of the best times-- in terms of marketing-- to have my book sell.

Of Jobs and Publishing Online

Quotes on Writing That Help Me See Why I Need an Editor
I need to get an editor now and then, but some days I think I need a better editor-- not me. I am too close to my writing and too close to having the grand book published. But I digress, I need an editor, and I need one who can look and say it's not a good bit of writing.
(Fortunately I have one of these wonderful editors!) So here are some quotes that have helped me with my writing...
