    Thank you Lauryn! Yeah, I don't know if creating a perma-free novel would be a good idea unless it's going to be part of a trilogy or something like that. A prequel novella does sound like a good idea though! :) Because my 'books' are only 10k-ish words and are part of a series, I am making...

    Thank you! :) I have a high-profile ebook author link to me on a social media platform. I am very exited about this and wonder if it would be wrong of me to contact them and ask them about marketing? I'm sure they get bombarded with questions just like it every day...

    I don't know how, but I managed to write 2k words today, going back and forth from doing internet research on ebook marketing. Guess these characters are really starting to talk to me.

    8 cover design secrets publishers use to manipulate readers into buying books

    Thanks for the post, MJ. "Pop", as in "I want it to pop", or "make it pop" is used too much and can convey a variety of things to us designers and we usually cringe when we hear it. The meaning can vary from person to person, so try to eliminate grey areas. If you are looking to hire a...

    Yes, I could see that, but I'm only posting on Smashwords to get my book to B&N so I can have amazon price match my first book in the series to free. After that, the rest of the books in the series will be Amazon only. I want the first book to remain free indefinitely. I've heard that you...

    Ouch... I can't imagine that. I tend to do best when I have no deadline but my own. If I had to write for someone other than myself, I think my creativity would suffer, having to force it. Hope you had a good trip to make it worth playing catchup! Sounds fantastic! Would love to hear what...

    How many words are best when you are starting out?

    What is the genre? My advice to this is find books in the same genre on Amazon or smashwords... find the best sellers and see what their word counts are. :)

    For my 10k words, he charged me $50 for both copy and developmental edits. The developmental edits, he simply pointed out places that needed more detail, had too much detail, would help with development or things that didn't make sense. Such a huge help. If he had a website, I would like it...

    My tip for tonight... well, it shouldn't really be a tip, but for those who don't already know... be sure to always have a professional editor go through your story! Your mind will often put words that are missing into the story... just because when you thought about the sentence, those words...
