I Love Seahorses!
Max (age 10) and Mason (age 5) got to go on three field trips this week! There are so many museums and other educational and natural attractions near our new house that we’ll never run out of things do…

Many authors publish (and pay for) stories from others to include in their non-fiction collections. One author sent me this question last week:
What I could really use is a template or some kind of information on the format and layout for this type of book to be published with BookLocker. I’ve got my ideas, can write them and have a publisher with guts to get this done, being you. The market is there for mostly physical books but I will also sell them in ebook format.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Letters will return next week.
Every freelance writer knows the value of a published clip to establish professional credibility, but a clip does not tell a potential client or new editor what type of person you are to work with, how good your writing is before editing, or whether you’re worth working with on a regular basis. How, then, can a writer share that information without seeming to brag? The answer is simple – have someone else say it for you.
Some POD publishers imply their books are available in all bookstores but you don’t make that claim. Why?
Sometimes people say part of success is the luck of being in the right place at the right time. While that may be true to a point, I think the other part of it is knowing what to do once you get there.
Apple and publishers – Judge denies motion to dismiss ebook price fixing civil suit.
John Wiley & Sons – Trying to get info. on Verizon consumers “accused of unlawfully sharing electronic copies of books in the popular ‘Dummy’ self-help series.”
Georgia State University – “Cleared of MOST copyright violation claims brought by academic publishers.”
We’ve only been in the new house for three weeks and we’ve already had one family visit from Maine. This weekend, two of our good friends from Wisconsin are arriving and, in about 10 days, Grampa is coming for a nice, long visit. The kids are SO excited!
Don’t wait for somebody to post something to your book’s page on Amazon. Ask readers, via your website and your newsletter, and even during the ordering process on your website (if you’re processing your own orders), to submit their comments about your book to you by email or through an automated form on your website…
Hi Angela,
Thanks for all you do to keep the writing community in the know… I wanted to suggest keeping this week’s piece about how to spot (and protect oneself against) scammers bookmarked on your home page. It’s great advice that would definitely benefit so many today and as an important reminder going forward.
Best regards,
Justine
