I read online that the mountains in Tennessee have beautiful fall foliage in October so we’re planning a road trip there next month…
Top Signs a Book is Self-Published
As you can see from our “World’s Worst Book Proposals” series, there are plenty of really bad books being shopped to publishers and, unfortunately, most Print on Demand (POD) publishers will print anything and everything just to get an author’s money…

Does Ingram Distribution Mean Bookstores Will Stock My Book? No!
I am still a little confused about the distribution through Ingram. So, does that mean we’re guaranteed to at least have a few books in the bookstores Ingram works with? Or, does it depend on how many copies the bookstores want to order from Ingram?
