Dear BookLocker friends,
I was at the Miami International Book Fair this past week to receive my modest recognition for Destiny’s Dowry. While there we mingled with other self published authors. I must tell you that what I heard from the other authors and what they got for their money…I hit the jackpot with you (BookLocker). My son, Michael and I compared notes with authors and praised you as much as we could. It was sincere praise.
If I haven’t thanked you before, please allow me to do so now. You have a wonderful company and it appears a caring staff.
Thank you again,
Rosemary Gard

I don’t think my publisher is reporting all my sales. Can I get this info. directly from Ingram?

book marketing
We’ve seen it at WritersWeekly as well as in other magazines for writers: bookstores are not necessarily the best place to sell your books.

I gave in and threw out the Thanksgiving leftovers. After 5 days of turkey sandwiches and soggy stuffing, I just couldn’t stomach any more. On Sunday, we had our annual “Hoy Holiday”, where we go get our Christmas tree, put it up, and then eat pizza while watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It was so much fun!

self-publishing
This week, we’re going to look at how some P.O.D. publishers upsell (nickel and dime) authors on products and services that should already be included in their outrageous setup fees.

I’d like to personally say thank you for your courteous and prompt service in helping me with publishing my book. Your experience, insight, and marketing tips have proven to be quite valuable. Above all I’ve appreciated your honest approach to doing business. The publishing process has been a learning experience for me; your company has made the process virtually painless.
Working with BookLocker has been a great experience. I have already recommended your service and will continue to do so.
Respectfully,

Over the years, I’ve probably responded to a good thousand online ads for writers. Out of those, about one hundred turned into assignments that led to actual checks. Some were one-time gigs, others have led to long-term partnerships.
I have been hoodwinked, though, along the way…

According to (my P.O.D. publisher), I have NOT sold ANY books – ever. They also claim the printer (which is owned by the distributor) “won’t give out those stats.” However, I have been contacted by international fans who have purchased both paperbacks and ebooks, so this is mystifying, to put it mildly.

Every Sunday evening for the last year, I’ve spent a few minutes planning my writing week. I look at the deadlines I need to meet, my never-ending writing To Do list, and my non-writing related responsibilities for the week. Then I make a list of what I think I can realistically accomplish that week. I set daily writing goals, which are designed to help me meet my weekly goal.
Plan your work and work your plan. It’s good advice. The only problem was that I wasn’t exactly following it…

My brother and his family are driving here from Key Biscayne this week and all the children will be here so we’ll have a houseful! The best news is there will be three chefs in the house this year (Ali, Justin and Billy) so I don’t have to do any cooking at all. I will, however, gladly do dishes as a trade-off…
