That would be great Judith. We all need help marketing our books and coming up with ideas to help others.
Judith Marshall Comment by Judith Marshall 1 day ago
Congratulations! Let's see if we can find some other authors in our genre to share ideas with.
Cindy Oldham Comment by Cindy Oldham 1 day ago
I'm sure there are. My fiction novel, The Mark Of A Real Man should be putblished late this year or early 2011.
Judith Marshall Comment by Judith Marshall 1 day ago
Great idea, Lori. Are there any other women's fiction writers out there?

That's a great idea Lori because whether was are small press or corporate published we all have to do our marketing. Unique idea and thanks for sharing.

This is a wonderful group to share the advantages and disadvantages of publishing with a small press. One of the biggest disadvantages is of course, spreading the word about our books since we don't have the huge corporate marketing machine behind us.

A great way I discovered is to form a group of authors who are in the same boat. A group I joined is called Indie-Debut 2010. We're a group of debut children's authors whose books hail from small presses. I invite you to visit us and perhaps think of creating your own niche group. It's a great way to promote each others' books, participate in blog tours, and share in the marketing process.

Good Luck!

Hi All,

Also, if any of you want to do a review or interview with me for your blog when the book is out, let me know. I'll add you to my list. Just send me a message in my inbox.

Best Wishes!

I am looking for other Christian non-fiction writers. I have self-published one book, I tried traditional publishing for another with no success, and I have one in progress that should be done this fall. My foray into traditional publishing received lovely comments on content and writing, but nobody wanted to buy it. I am not sure what to do next.

While we are on the subject of Christian Writers, please note that Cornerstone Fulfillment Service, LLC is listed in the Christian Writers Guide as one of the few order fulfillment companies that serves independent publishers, small presses and micro-presses.

Since I write more of the romantic type of novels, looks are important for my characters. I come up with their look various ways. I envision what they should look like, and write their attributes down, or I use pictures of people I clip from magazin…

My cousin, Em, doesn't see it. She sees a plain face, limp hair, fat rolls, etc. But to me she's beautiful, and maybe I'm biased, but she's the most beautiful woman I've ever known or seen. It's because she's the sister I never had, my sister in Chr…
