I’ve been called the queen of admin by other editors, so I’m all about systems and processes, checklists, and plans. However, I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

But if you have a book to market, then you’ll need some kind of plan. I recognize an extroverted nonfiction author with 5,000 newsletter subscribers is going to build a very different plan than an introverted debut novelist starting

“The world was a terrible place, cruel, pitiless, dark as a bad dream. Not a good place to live. Only in books could you find pity, comfort, happiness - and love. Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.”
Cornelia Funke, Inkheart / Inkspell / Inkdeath

You put this in the wrong spot. Do not write it on my profile. Put it in the group discussion of this book on my group page: Ms. Madsen's class. Copy and paste it in the correct location.


Anthony Acosta The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan The book is really good so far. It makes me thrive for what is coming next like some gossip."What? She kissed who?" There are some parts I had to read over and over because I didn't understand it so this book would be a three but Rick Riordan is my favorite author so I'll give it a 4. Tell me what some other people thought.
