Also, set a Google … [Read more...] about Will You Tell Me When My Post Is Live?

WHAT MAKES A MEMORABLE NOVEL? – Guest Post by Dianne Harman @DianneDHarman
I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a book worthy of being recommended. What are the elements that make for a memorable read? I’m convinced there’s no formula.

So what are the elements of a novel that make people talk about it and read other books written by the author? This is not going to be a blog about “How to Write the Perfect Novel.” Writing workshops, seminars, books on writing – all … [Read more...] about WHAT MAKES A MEMORABLE NOVEL? – Guest Post by Dianne Harman @DianneDHarman

Why Give Your Book Away? Guest Post by Shawn Inmon
Shawn Inmon is doing a multi-part guest post series on how and why to give your book away as part of a master marketing plan. Here is part one: There’s something counter-intuitive about working on a project for months and maybe even years, and then giving it away for free to the general public. Still, that’s what authors have been doing for a little over a year, since Amazon introduced the KDP Select program. Now, whether or not it is a good idea for an author to give away their … [Read more...] about Why Give Your Book Away? Guest Post by Shawn Inmon
