This Week in the Blogs, October 11 – 17, 2019

by Shelley Sturgeon on October 20, 2019 2 Comments

By Shelley Sturgeon

I like Halloween. Can you tell? It’s all the fun of a holiday like Christmas without all the stress–and expense!–of meal preparations and gift buying. I also love to watch a scary movie or read a spooky ghost story at this time of year. Any recommendations?

There’s still time to submit your ebook cover to our e-Book Cover Design Awards contest for October. All the information you need can be found here. Submissions are accepted until Thursday, October 31st.

Check back here next Sunday for our 109th edition of Self-Publishing: Carnival of the Indies, followed the next day, Monday, October 28th, by September’s e-Book Cover Design Awards.

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."
