This Week in the Blogs, April 4 – 10, 2015

by Joel Friedlander on April 12, 2015 Leave a Comment

There’s always something new or interesting to read about in the self-publishing world and this week’s articles are no exception. Enjoy!

Andy Ross on Ask the Agent
Attorney Helen Sedwick on Legal Issues for Book Authors
“Today we are going to interview Helen Sedwick, business attorney and author of Self-Publisher’s Legal Handbook: The Step-by-Step Guide to the Legal Issues of Self-Publishing.”

Sandra Beckwith on Build Book Buzz
What should I send to my author e-mail list?
“There’s more to staying in touch with fans by e-mail than figuring out what to write about, though. If you haven’t started the process yet, you’ll find these four basic steps helpful.”

Debbie Young on ALLi – Self-Publishing Advice Blog
How and Why to Make Your Indie Author Website Mobile Responsive
“To reach more readers with your author website, you need to optimise its visibility – which includes making sure that it’s mobile-friendly. Three internet-savvy ALLi members explain why there’s not a moment to lose in making sure your site passes muster.”

Sabrina Ricci on Digital Pubbing
A Look at Interactive Ebooks
“Interactive, multimedia ebooks are starting to gain some traction. In addition to embedding audio and video, some ebook creators are experimenting with game elements, using GPS, and adding activities.”

Kristen Lamb on Kristen Lamb’s Blog
Pen Names—Necessary Evil or Ticket to Crazyville?
“Today we are going to talk about a somewhat touchy subject. The pen name. Before anyone gets in a fluff, understand two things. First, I’m on your side. Secondly, this is only a decision you can make. My goal here is to make sure you guys are making educated business decisions. Thus, I won’t stop anyone from having a pen name, but about 95% of the time? It’s unnecessary.”

The Self-Publisher's Ultimate Resource Guide

Looking for Help?

Do you need to find editors, designers, or other people to help you get your book produced, published, and promoted with professional results? Grab a copy of my new book, it has over 850 curated and verified links to the people and companies you’re looking for.

Hey, we’ve already done the hard work for you. It will save you hours of looking and lots of frustration with its 33 easy-to-follow categories. Details are here: The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide.

The response to this book has been incredible, because it fills a real need. Here’s what I mean:

“Most authors are excited about the promise of self-publishing—until they actually try to do it. Then they quickly realize they will need a team of professionals to prepare, publish, and promote their book. And that’s where they get stuck. They don’t have the connections. That’s where The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide is a life-saver. This is the missing link that will enable authors to capitalize on the self-publishing revolution and become captains of their own literary destiny. I highly recommend it.”
—Michael Hyatt, New York Times Bestselling Author and former CEO, Thomas Nelson Publishers

“An essential reference to the best publishing resources for every self published author. Highly recommended!”
—Mark Coker, Smashwords founder

“Independent authors need a team to help create a fantastic finished product, and finding the right people can be a challenge when you first start out. This book will help authors to locate professionals to edit, publish and market their work – helping them to stand out in the crowded marketplace.”
—Joanna Penn, TheCreativePenn

“Joel Friedlander is the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of self-publishing.”
—David Henry Sterry, bestselling author of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published & cofounder of The Book Doctors

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."
