Of course. I thought of you when my writer talked about doing the article.

I'm J.P. Hansen. I have one literary novel out from a small press and some poetry. I am looking forward to self-publishing a series of mysteries soon. I hope to learn stuff about how to self-p..."

Welcome J.P. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

We recently put up an article about how to use twitter to market yourself and your book. http://editioselfpublishing.com/autho...
I would love to find out what works for you as far as using Twitter to self-promote. Is it the same as the techniques in this article? do you have different strategies?
** This is not a place to promote your personal Twitter account.**

Hi Dorina- We are so happy you joined. i think people will have a lot of great advice for you about Createspace. Check some of the other threads, I will see if I can get some people to write more about it there. We have several articles on our web site about marketing. We have one about marketing on Goodreads and we just put up an article about using twitter. Self-Publishing .
I am sure the great authors in this group will have lots of good advice to share as well.

Welcome Lynda, we hope to help open your eyes to the world of self-publishing even more.

No apologies Kendal, I just thought it would also be good in that thread, so everyone saw it.

Hi Knedal- someone wrote on a thread under "Author Subsidized Publishing", about Authorhouse. I would love for you to write your thoughts and experiences there to if you feel like it.

Karen wrote: "OK, I've posted two versions of my current cover on my blog. Please drop by and give me your comments! Here's the link:

Karen- I like the first one best. I thought this would be a good place to mention we just put up a post on our web site showing the 6 best free fonts for book covers.

Thanks for your great thoughts! I fixed the link.

Welcome Russell. If you could put the editor you like under the thread for editors that would be great. I know several people are looking for a good one. We also have a section about book covers. I saw yours and they look great. We would love to know who it is.

Jude wrote: "Nicholas? Are you saying there is a way to publish ebooks without using a self publisher like author house? Thanks!"

Absolutely! You can publish with Kindle and the Nook. Let me know if your not familiar with these.

BookieWormie wrote: "Anne-Mhairi wrote: "I have to admit, I haven't heard much good about Authorhouse. Looking forward to the Createspace process, have seen a couple of the finished products and they look great."

That's great! We would love to hear about it. You can create a new thread when you get it. Looking forward to it.

Nicholas wrote: "My name is Nicholas McGirr and I have just self published my second ebook. I have dealt with self publishing a print book with little to no positive things to say about it. I am hoping to pick the ..."

Hello Ann and Nicholas, welcome to the group. I am so exited about all the great info you guys can bring to the group. Thank you so much for joining! Look forward to seeing you guys on some of the threads. We can't wait to hear what you have to say.

BookieWormie wrote: "Hello! So glad I came across this group! Very timely as I just submitted my final draft for review prior to self publishing! I am excited and scared to death at the thought of having a book out ..."

How exiting, if you have any questions about how to get your book up online or how to promote it, check out our web site: Self-Publishing

Good call Clare!

Jude wrote: "Thank you for your suggestion! I will write something to start a thread! I'd appreciate your input in what to call this thread - you seem to be quite good at that! My Experience with AH for exa..."

Those all sound like great points. I would just title it "My experience with Author house" That way you could talk about the good as well as the bad.

Jude wrote: "ps. I went to the appropriate place to shamelessly promote myself and am in the process of deleting that post until after I talk to Author House! None of the websites I own any longer go to my bo..."

That's awful Jude. If your interested at some point, that would be a great topic for our threads. Feel free to start a topic and talk about your experience there so that other people will know what it is like to work with them.

Jude, you can also promote your books in the forum on our web site. The web site gets a lot of traffic so it might be another great place for free promotion.

Welcome Clare, I hope this group will be able to answer your questions about self-publishing before you publish this year.
