This Week in the Blogs, September 10 – 16, 2020

By Shelley Sturgeon

Summer, where I live, is definitely winding down. There is chill in the air and the leaves are just on the verge of changing color and falling to the ground. I have always loved this time of the year but this year I’m a bit apprehensive–and curious–about how it will all play out with COVID lingering in the shadows as some of my favorite holidays of the year start to appear on the calendar.

But, we can do this, right? 😉

Still time to submit your e-book cover to September’s e-Book Cover Design Awards contest. Submissions accepted until the end of the month. If you have questions about this contest, please leave them in the comments. (Missed last month’s contest? You can view it here: e-Book Cover Design Awards, July 2020.)

Check back here next week for our latest edition of Self-Publishing: Carnival of the Indies, our blog carnival.

Hang in there! Be well and stay safe!

“Giving your nonfiction book away helps grow your audience, increase the size of your email list, and build your reputation as an expert in your field. However, many authors are reluctant to choose this strategy.”

Why?
"Writers change the world one reader at a time. But you can't change the world with a book that's still on your hard drive or in a box under your bed. This blog exists to help you get that book into people's hands."
