My “Tips for New Writers” Ebook Is Up On Smashwords

I know this one took me forever to get to with edits. ��Technically, it was ready in December, but I was busy with working on “Online Proposal” for the Bride by Design, the contemporary sweet romance anthology I’m doing with Catherine Lynn. ��Then I was getting back into a writing routine and going back to working on several books at a time.

Once I got that ball rolling, I went to work on the series of posts I did on this blog for helping new writers with the storytelling craft. ��I wanted to put the posts into a book to make it easy to get the information in one place.

This book is short. ��It’s about 10,000 words long.

If you want, you can download the entire book for free over at Smashwords. ��I am going to have it distributed to Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iBooks, Oyster, Scribd, Flipkart, and other places Smashwords distributes to. ��I decided not to put it on Amazon because it’s iffy if I could get it to go free over there.

I am in the process of making this a paperback book.

Right now it’s only on Smashwords. ��I don’t know how long it’ll take to get on the other channels.
