AFFILIATE MARKETING FOR AUTHORS

my Disclosure for more info. Thanks!
Years ago, I become an affiliate for various brands that pay me as I juggle the
process of getting a book from my brain to the page. Makes sense, right? As an
indie author, you're writing and managing a team of editors, graphic designers,
and marketing consultants. You need a way to make passive income while all that
is happening. Affiliate marketing is one of those ways. Affiliate … [Read

my Disclosure for more info. Thanks!
When I decided to write a fictional account of a time in my own life, I thought,
how hard could that be? Surely the objective to write a novel about yourself
would not be any seat-of-the-pants endeavor, not with an outline already intact.
I lived the story, experienced the inciting incident, faced the point of no
return, and after jumping hurdle after hurdle (or more like crawling over them),
I … [Read more...] about How to Write a Novel about Your Life

This happens every year. The holidays creep up on me until I wake up on Black
Friday in a tryptophan-laden haze and realize I've got less than a month to buy
Christmas gifts for everyone on my list. Ho-Ho-Ho. I can't help you with your
entire holiday list, but since I'm a writer, I thought I'd compile a list of
some of the best gifts for writers out there this year. Journals are nice and …

my Disclosure for more info. Thanks!
Here's a small and mighty list of the best books on writing. I believe--and so
many writers agree!--that these books will help you succeed in: writing
publishing and being motivated to do "1" and "2" again and again Keep in mind,
these books mainly emphasize fiction (because I can't help myself ... I love
writing fiction!) But all will give you a great picture of the writing life.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PUBLISH A BOOK?
DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links. I receive a commission only
if you decide to make a purchase through my links—at NO cost to you. Please read
my Disclosure for more info. Thanks!
One of the first questions for an indie author to ask is: How much does it cost
to publish a book? With advances in digital and print-on-demand publishing, it
makes sense for many authors to cut out the "middle man" and become independent
(aka "indie") publishers of their work, if they so choose and if they're willing
to think like an entrepreneur. Notes from Traditional Publishing As a … [Read
