This Week in the Blogs, August 11 – 17, 2013

by Joel Friedlander on August 18, 2013 1 Comment

We’re experiencing a glorious August these days in northern California, and although the days aren’t quite as long as they were earlier in the summer, we want them to last as long as possible. Although some blogs are on vacation, there’s still plenty of great writing to choose from if you want to keep your head in the game, or if you just need a diversion before heading back to the beach. Enjoy.

Joleene Naylor on Self-Published Authors

“The first option you’re confronted with is whether or not to enroll your book in KDP select. There are a lot of divided opinions on this, and you should do some research before deciding.”

Kate Tilton on BiblioCrunch
What is an Author Street Team?
“A street team is a group of fans that band together to support an artist, author, band, or other such products. Street teams are powerful marketing tools because they tap into an established group of fans and put them to work!”

Victoria McNally on BookWorks

Shari Stauch on Where Writers Win

Jason Matthews on How to Make, Market and Sell Ebooks
How Indie Authors Sell a Million Books Overnight
“I’ve heard many successful authors share what’s been most effective to them for selling books. While this is not a one-size-fits-all answer, in general this is what authors advise.”

August Sale Still Going On at BookDesignTemplates.com

Our 5 new children’s book templates for authors using Microsoft Word to format their books have proved to be very popular.

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."
