BookLocker is Now Offering “D.I.Y.” and “Payment Plan” Publishing Programs!
Great idea, Angela…seems almost like a Christmas and New Year’s present for authors!

Using Creative Visualization to Increase Sales – Roberta Roberti
Writers are accustomed to reading newsletters such as WritersWeekly.com to get practical, concrete information and tips on writing, marketing, and publishing. Occasionally, however, we get advice on how to harness our own powers of creativity, positivity, and spiritual energy to achieve happiness and success. This is one of those articles. We now enter the realm of the subconscious. Or as some people I know call it, the “woo woo” zone.
New and Used Copies of Books on Amazon
Someone recently brought to my attention that on Amazon, there is a listing for people to buy a “new” or “used” copy of a book (that’s from a P.O.D. source) for a reduced fee or sometimes an extraordinarily high fee. Do you know where these books come from or where I can learn more about this?
Developing a Plan for Your Book – Dan Heaton
My first grade teacher just bought my book.
She’s hardly my target audience and I hadn’t seen her at least since I left elementary school more than 30 years ago, but I was happy to make the sale. I even charged her full price, rather than the insider’s “friends and family rate.”
A few simple Internet searches and a plan – developed in large part through guidance from fellow WritersWeekly writers – helped me make the sale.
Preparing For A Full House
Ali and I are busy preparing the house for the influx of guests that will start arriving next week. Some of them will be staying at Ali’s because we’ll be filled to the brim here. It’s all very exciting! Mason is counting the days, confirming his math with me each morning. (“Mom, it’s 15 days now because yesterday it was 16, right?”)
BookLocker is Now Offering “D.I.Y.” and “Payment Plan” Publishing Programs! – Angela Hoy
As prices go up across the board, and as unemployment continues, many authors would like to get their books on the market but simply can’t afford it.
While firms like Author Solutions (owner of AuthorHouse, Xlibris, iUniverse, Trafford and more) are squeezing authors out of thousands to tens of thousands of dollars (which we’re betting most authors will never recover in resulting book sales), BookLocker is going in the opposite direction – publishing packages for any budget.
“We investigated several of other P.O.D. companies…”
Angela–I wanted to echo what Rosemary Gard said in her letter to the editor. We investigated several other P.O.D. companies before we settled on BookLocker to publish 11-11:The Carl Fyler Story and I am still getting phone calls from those (other) folks like used-car selling telemarketers! We have been very pleased with all aspects of our BookLocker experience. Thanks!

Book Contests – Good Idea or Not?
I received an email from (an online book contest). It is for recognition. Is this kind of thing normal? The entry fee is $50 at this time.
A Serendipitous Path to Writing Success – Barbara Woodworth
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects about my now long-time writing career is that I never set out to write. The fact that I, somewhat serendipitously, spent the past two decades writing and publishing well over 1,500 articles in more than 50 local, regional, national and international publications, still amazes me. As a student writing was never my forte. In middle school I dreaded the annual back-to-school assignment requiring a treatise on how I spent my summer vacation.
Ack! Only 3 Weeks Left!
My Christmas shopping is done but I haven’t wrapped even one gift yet. The boxes are just stacked up there in the corner, staring at me, day after day. I’m also starting to seriously doubt I’m going to finish the “Taj Mahal” (the gift I’ve been working on for my mom since April).
