Author, and editor, Tara Masih recently wrote a blog on the importance of reviewers.

Book reviewers provide an invaluable service to writers in both the areas of helping us get the word about about our work–promotion–and emotional support.

Mention in Tara’s blog is author and reviewer, Angela Lam Turpin. In addition to writing reviews, Angela is also the author to Legs and Blood Moon Rising.

Not only has Angela reviewed Tara’s book, Where the Dog Star Never Glows, she also provided a succinct and gracious review of my novel, The House, that is about to debut.

Many thanks to Angela and the many other reviewers who keeping us writers going and our spirits us.

The time and effort Angela and other reader/reviewers/writers such as her invest in reading our books and writing reviews during these tough economic times is truly a labor of love.

Recent changes in the economy and digital technology make what people like you and Angela do so important.

Self-Publishing v. Traditional Publishing

2 Comments / ... anjuellefloyd ..., Event, Interview /

Self-Publishing v. Traditional Publishing

What are the differences between traditional publishing and self-publishing?

Where do the two converge?

Where do they stand distinct?

What if your book is non-fiction or fiction?

How does this affect they way to seek to bring it to print?

How do you balance marketing your book–fiction or non-fiction–with writing the book?

Can authenticity and embedding a bit of yourself–who you truly are–in your promotion tactics create an effective marketing strategy, one that pays off in both the establishment of your brand, and achieves the sale of books?

Non-fiction author Sharon Saylor, and fiction writer, Anjuelle Floyd will address these questions during Self-Publishing v. Traditional Publishing, a discussion hosted and moderated by Elizabeth Stark Powers, author of Shy Girl: A Novel, writing teacher, and founder of Book Writing World.

The Hare and The Tortoise,” Internet Technology, and Keeping Our Eyes on the Prize…

Leave a Comment / Musings /

The economy is languishing.

Concern and doubt fill our emotions if not swarm around us.

For writers this can be either a perilous time or one for heightened creativity.

Those of us who write for money and recognition are asking many questions.

Will I get that agent?

And if so, how?

Will the publishers like my work?

Those whose hopes for the future rest on crafting a book that will make giant sales wonder about the state of publishing.

Where is it going?

And then there are the daily concerns of paying the bills, never mind if one has chosen the road to self-publication as the way to make our work public. To be sure, this route comes with costs also.

But what about just writing?

Marriage, Terror, and Seeing into the Choreography of Souls…

Leave a Comment / ...married life ... /

So much of marriage is about seeing the other, your spouse, and allowing your true self to come through, i.e. being seen yourself.

My novel, “The House,” chronicles the experience of a woman, Anna Manning, during the last 3 months of her marriage wherein her husband, Edward, has withheld aspects of his true nature from. Throughout their nearly thirty-three years of marriage has been unfaithful Edward, involved in 3 longstanding affairs of which Anna knew.

These affairs, horrible as they were stemmed from vulnerabilities and emotional injuries rooted in Edward’s childhood, and of which he never discussed with Anna.

Adobe’s Design CS4, Intoxication and Zen in the Art of Writing…

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you…writing allows just the right recipes of truth, life, reality as you are able to eat, drink, and digest without hyperventilating and flopping like a dead fish in your bed.”

–Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing

On reading this last night I considered how long it’s taking me to get my novel together, The House, that is. In actuality, the novel is written, and edited. I’m presently working on the layout of the text. I’m a do-it-your-selfer. After purchasing an edition of Adobe’s Design CS4 I feel obligated to at least make an attempt at transferring my novel that I am self-publishing from MS Word to book format.
