Maria-I checked out your web site and it looks great. Your right, authors need to stick together. We also have forums and a section for self-promotion on our web site. If you have not seen it, it's all about supporting self-published authors. Might be a great place to advertise.

Amber_ I am so sorry that happened to you! That is ever writers worst nightmare. I guess now that you are writing it again, it will be like that first time was just a rough draft. Good luck with the publishing process! When you do get to that point we have a lot of helpful articles on our website at: Self-Publishing
Welcome to the group.

I hope you do, feel free to advertise your book on our form on our web site http://editioselfpublishing.com/forums/. It might be another nice way of advertising the book you already do have. Everyone loves free advertising!

Hi Belinda,
I am so glad to hear someone else has crazy animals to. I am so glad you have joined this group. I am sure everyone here will have lots of things to learn from someone who is in the middle of their second book. Congrats!

Pamela,
That was a great article. I shared it with some of my writers. If you would like, you might want to put that article link in the forums section on our web site. That might drive more traffic to your article. Glad to have you in the group!

Wow thanks you for a great response. I am glad you liked the article. One of our writers is currently working on an article about what works as far as marketing. I love hearing what works for you. I have never heard anyone do that before. Very interesting. What will you do if you write a second book?

Vanessa wrote: "Editio wrote: I'll have one of my people look into that for you..."

You have people? Wow! I'm impressed."

lol, yes actually I do. I run a web site for self-published authors so I have a network of experts in the industry. I will bring up your question at our next meeting and see if anyone knows anything. Thanks for being impressed. You made my day.

Welcome Michael. We look forward to hearing from you!

Vanessa wrote: "Oh, and I forgot to mention that Amazon can't pay money into my US dollar bank account either. They have to post me a cheque! Strange!"

I'll have one of my people look into that for you and see what we can find out. That must be really frustrating.

Welcome Vanessa. Your right there so much more that goes into it then anyone would think. So glad you are willing to share your experience. Do you have any questions so far?
