It might be a bit of a stretch, but don’t you think that writing and self-publishing a book is sort of like training and competing in the Olympics? All that training and hard work leading up to the big moment when your book is launched? Athletes covet gold metals, and authors? They dream of being on bestseller lists. Enjoy this week’s selection of articles.

WriteWell Writers’ Journals Pre-Sale Closes Tonight

What makes my new writers’ journals so great that you’ll want to have one with you at all times like I do?

journal

Let me count the ways:

  • Beautiful to hold—Our custom-made flexible, opulent, and durable textured covers are available in Cranberry (shown) or Black
  • You won’t run out of pages—Each journal is 240 beautiful, narrow ruled pages on high-quality cream-colored stock
  • Durable—Journals are sewn (“thread binding”) and will never fall apart or lose pages
  • No more smashed corners—Corners are rounded to prevent bent and dog-eared pages
  • Down with narrow pages—Size is 5-3/4″ x 8-1/4″ (about A5) for lots of “room to write”
  • Why fight your journal?—Journals lie flat anywhere you open them
  • Find your stuff—Page numbers and an Index page at the end help you locate your work
  • Quality you can feel—Journals and all materials are made in the U.S.A.

Note: Pre-orders are available only to U.S. addresses at this time, and the pre-order sale will end tonight (Sunday) at midnight Pacific time, so act now!

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."
—Joel Friedlander
