This Week in the Blogs, October 4 – 10, 2019

by Shelley Sturgeon on October 13, 2019 1 Comment

By Shelley Sturgeon

It’s Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada. I try to frequently reflect on the things in my life that I am thankful for every single day, but this weekend I will take extra time to appreciate my blessings. Even in these times of uncertainty, there is much that is good in the world if you look for it. For starters, just think how much easier it is for indie authors to publish their books! :-)

One thing I am thankful for is YOU–our readers.

Check out this week’s articles and if you have any questions, leave a comment below or contact us here.

And, don’t forget to submit your blog posts for October’s Carnival of the Indies blog carnival by midnight October 15th.

Submissions for October’s e-Book Cover Design Awards will be accepted until the end of the month, Thursday, October 31st.

Orna Ross on Self-Publishing Advice Center
Self-Publishing is the Best Solution to Low Author Earnings
“There is an old business saying: follow the money to see the true story. If we follow the money in publishing, from the perspective of authors, what story does it tell us?”

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."
