The Cost of Self-Publishing
The post The Cost of Self-Publishing appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
There is a long-standing myth that not only does self-publishing cost an arm and a leg, but that the risks far outweigh the benefit. This myth has been debunked so many times, yet it keeps cropping up. In fact, as recently as three days ago, I took part in a Facebook conversation on this very topic. Much heated discussion was had, and it became apparent that facts weren’t heavyenough tooutweigh emotions. Even after re...

The post Guest Post: Andy Peloquin appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
I’d like to extend a warm welcome today toAndy Peloquin, writer extraordinaire, hot wing aficionado, Selena Gomez fan, and overall very tall guy (he’s 6’6″!). Andy joins us today on the launch of his latest novel, The Last Bucelarii (Book 1): Blade of the Destroyer. He gives us a personal reminder of why we, as writers, cannot afford to be anti-social. We are all too susceptible to shrink away from society and work on ou...

The post A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing: Konrath Kindle Unlimited Numbers appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
Joe Konrath, indie author and trailblazer of independent publishing, offers his insight into the new payout structure of Kindle Unlimited. Under KU 1.0, Amazon was rewarding writers for enrolling in KDP Select. Amazon wanted as many titles as possible, to build their Kindle Unlimited catalog. Shorts are easier and faster to write than novels, so Amazon rewarded short stories by payi...

Har! How to Deal with Book Piracy | Nicholas C. Rossis
The post Har! How to Deal with Book Piracy | Nicholas C. Rossis appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
If you’ve followed me on social media long enough, you’ve likely heard me repeat the words of Neil Gaiman when it comes to piracy: “Piracy is not the enemy of writers. Obscurity is.” I’ve noticed a surge of “piracy”lately, judging by recent interactions with my readers. Check out Nicholas’s full article (the link is below) for why I put “piracy” in quotes. It’s usually not what you think it...

The post If You Like It Then You Should Have Glued Some Gears On It | mishaburnett appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
I read this article from my friend Misha Burnett a few minutes ago and had to pass it along to my readers. Misha breaks down his dislike of the genre system and makes some brilliant points as to why it hurts more than helps. He’s going to be categorizing his fiction asSlipstream from now on, a word I admittedly have never heard in this context until tonight. I think the con...

A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing: Authors United Epic Fail-O-Rama
The post A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing: Authors United Epic Fail-O-Rama appeared first on A Writer's Journey.
The Stupid, which I once mentioned was “strong with Authors United”, apparently knows no bounds. If you’re not familiar with Joe Konrath’s blog, you should check it out. This is a decent intro to what he does over there. He takes the recent letter from AU to the Assistant Attorney General and absolutely shreds it in classic Konrath style. Click the link in “source” below to go to the...
