Central Coast Writers Conference

Hi, and thanks for stopping by my blog.

I suggest while you’re here you download my helpful, 24-page PDF:

10 Things You Need to Know About Self-Publishing

If you’re interested in how books are put together, I’ve got a 30-page PDF that will help, and it’s free too:

The Book Construction Blueprint

Here’s the PDF I promised you at the Conference. It combines a Cover Design Checklist, a Book Launch Checklist, and some blatant advertising, too. But these checklists are really helpful, and can prevent you from overlooking something:

CCWC Handout PDF

And here are the PDF versions of the slides from both presentations:

Book Launch Presentation

Book Cover Design Presentation

Here’s a link to the page that lists all the monthly ebook cover design awards:

Monthly Ebook Cover Design Awards

I hope you’ll take a minute to check out the 1100+ articles on my blog. There’s a great community of authors, writers, designers, editors, and other people interested in books who visit here, so dig in, look around, and become part of the conversation.

And thanks for visiting.

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."
