Publishing Yourself: April 2012
http://publishingyourself.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Monday, April 30, 2012. In Which I Explain Where I've Been the Past 8 Weeks. So, it’s been a while. Let me begin by saying February sucks. It’s chilly, but not in a good, crisp wintery sort of way and there’s a letdown from all the foofaraw of Christmas and New Year’s. It’s the month of the year when you’re at a midway point between the solstice and the coming of spring, a long exhalation before any of us can breathe again. The fact that (between free promos and ...

Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Saturday, October 8, 2011. Some quite interesting news this week, as first-time indie author Traci Hohenstein has signed a four-book deal with the Amazon mystery/thriller imprint Thomas and Mercer. David Gaughran has more info on his always-interesting blog. As I said, this is an interesting development. Unlike the majority of authors Amazon has approached and signed deals with, Traci Hohenstein is truly a newbie fiction author. Burn Out. And her blog,. Previous ...

Publishing Yourself: September 2011

Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Short Story Cover Extravaganza. Spent today working, working on covers for the coming short stories. Way more fun than cleaning my closet. You've got vampires, zombies in two flavors, and a contract killer trying to do a good deed. Just shows what you can do with $12 worth of artwork and seven hours of free time. Yay! Please let me know what looks good and what sucks! Friday, September 2, 2011.

Publishing Yourself: November 2011
http://publishingyourself.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Thursday, November 17, 2011. The Space Wars are Over, or HTML is a Harsh Mistress. There’s only one subject more contentious than politics or religion: single spacing versus double spacing at the end of a sentence. Think that’s hyperbole? Google it. There is no better example of literary internecine warfare than sentence spacing. (For a pretty concise history of the conflict, go here.). Example from the first book I pulled off my shelf, the novel Crime School.

All you DIY indies out there who are either brave or foolish enough to design your own covers, one of my favorite blogs, The Book Designer, has a nice post on good fonts for book covers. Well, that's still no excuse for doing a crummy job. What strikes your fancy, what turns you off? Say you came across a book on Amazon with a great font, how do you identify it? Now, of course, you've got to find t...

Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. The Leap Into Self-Publishing - Laurie Laliberte. Laurie Laliberte is something of a renaissance woman in the world of self-publishing. Not content to just edit and proofread, she's also published a book of saucy short stories and a print book of crochet patterns. In addition, she's a great believer in the power of the writing community. Without further ado, here's Laurie. Next thing I knew, I had five days to pull together the files to ma...

Publishing Yourself: The Future of ebooks - Anecdotal Evidence Files (Plus a little bit on pricing)
http://publishingyourself.blogspot.com/2012/01/future-of-ebooks-anecdotal-evidence.html
Navigating the World of Indie Publishing. Saturday, January 21, 2012. The Future of ebooks - Anecdotal Evidence Files (Plus a little bit on pricing). OK, but I'm a technology adopter, what about my mom? But what about kids? It's hard to get kids to read, right? They may well adjust (in fact they'll have to), but in the famous words of Simka from an old episode of Taxi. Which brings me to the bit about pricing I promised. I've been playing with pricing and studying the numbers released by authors rega...
