Inspired Links – Sept 6, 2011

In my "Inspired Links" feature, I provide links and brief descriptions of thought-provoking articles.  I hope you enjoy these little treasures

This week's edition is very short, since I'm just coming off a vacation which included some wonderful unplugged time.

Terri Long's indie novel "In Leah's Wake," has been tearing up the social media airwaves.  In this series of two posts over at Novel Publicity (part 1, part 2), Emlyn Chand and Terri share her story including some tremendous marketing tips.

 

K.B. Owen has written a very interesting post called "Sex Appeal" that covers a number of topics including a discussion on whether and how to target a book to a specific gender or not.  She also has an interesting discussion of the differences in the reading habits between men and women.

 

Doug Lance, editor of eFiction, wrote a guest post for Tuesday Serial this past week entitled "Four Timeless Tips to Make Your Serial a Success" and the Tuesday Serial report for last week has 22 serial installments including 2 debuts and 4 conclusions.  And if you're looking for still more fiction, the lastest Friday Flash report has 52 stories for your reading enjoyment.

If you're wondering about my methodology for choosing links for inclusion in this post, rest assured there isn't one.  It's just a collection of things that I found interesting and I thought you might too.  Please let me know what you think!
