    I'd use your real name on the tax part. This does not effect your books. When you go to publish, you can enter your pen name there. On one account, you can use hundreds of pen names. :)

    Okay... here it is! :) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IIDHRQG/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20 They thought they'd be safe from the outbreak while camping in the mountains... they were wrong... High school seniors, Anna and Keith, were excited about camping in the rainy mountains of Yale Valley...

    Taking the Erotica Leap

    Certainly, and yes, that's the cover. :) Thanks for the cover love! I spent some time combing through the YA books before I started designing it. My aim was to create something that looked on par with the other high sellers. :) Hopefully I've written a good description as well... we'll see.

    Taking the Erotica Leap

    PUBLISHING 
    So, I'm taking the plunge and publishing my YA story. I've decided to break the first novel up into three parts and will do the same with the other two books. The first part is publishing today and will be live within 12ish hours. I'm excited and afraid at the same time. This story is my...

    Starting off as a Publisher

    PUBLISHING 
    So true! I've been playing around with descriptions... I change a description and leave it for three days, my book is ranked in the 30k range. Change the description and wait three days, it's ranked 80k. One more change and three days bumps it to 18k! :)

    Pen names and their managment

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm actually using a newsletter service (MailCheat(Chimp)) and not an autoresponder. I'm asking because they make you put a 'from' name for the account... so if I have several pen names, I don't want it to say it's from my erotica author pen name when it should be from my YA pen name, you know? If...

    Pen names and their managment

    PUBLISHING 
    This is a question for all of you that have several pen names. :) I currently have just one pen name and wondered how to go about managing a couple more. So, my questions are: 1. Mailing lists - Do you create a new account with your chosen newsletter site for each of your pen names? How do...

    Hey guys. Rawr made an interesting entry in a thread by lleone's thread and instead of hijacking that for this, I though I'd start a new thread. After Rawr's post, I was curious who the throwaway_writer was, so I googled him/her. One of the first entries on Google was this...

    I like the one with the vines, but that just me. :) Looks like a book that could be on the best seller's list. When you have it all done and published, post a link! <edit> Also, be sure to put a link to grab subscribers at the end of your book!

    I think it might be a good read! :) However, if you feel that your story wouldn't be of interest to your chosen deep pool of buyers, you could always use parts of it. It would bring that much more realism and feeling to the story. When I write, I pull upon things that have happened to me and...

    Wow... this sounds like a good and inspirational story on it's own. From what I've read, you've been through a lot. For a writer, those experiences can help craft our stories into something that feels real. You know what it felt like, you show the reader those feelings. I'm looking forward...
