  • Still time to submit your ebook cover for inclusion in August’s e-Book Cover Design Awards. Submission are accepted until August 31st.

Be well and stay safe! See you back here next Friday.

Building Your Career-Long Marketing Foundation
“You, the author, have to take care of the long-term career building. While you may delegate tasks or hire help, only an author can truly take ownership of their career and carry out the vision for it.”

Dan Blank on WeGrowMedia

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."
