That would be great Judith. We all need help marketing our books and coming up with ideas to help others.
Stopped by to respond to an email from the Small Publishers and Independent Authors group. Interesting topics today.

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.
Thought I would check in and see what's been going on at the site. I've been busy writing and working with other authors.

Thanks, Cindy! It is a great site, and busy, busy, busy.
Cindy Oldham replied to the discussion 'Has publishing gotten too easy?' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors
I agree that books being published should be quality. I've had books come across my desk that I simply would not publish because the lack of content within. Just because you can get a book published does not mean it should be of poor quality.…

Hi Cindy, I, too, am an independent publisher and I'd be interested in what your process was to get your book on the Barnes and Nobel website. Thanks.

Jennifer - I don't know which publisher you're with but most publishers, even small ones (of which I am one) get their books onto the B & N website and a myriad of others as well. The 40% you talked about is low considering most take…

Congratulations Linda! You're doing it and making waves. Proud of you. I firmly believe self-publishing is the best way to go right now as the traditional publishers are struggling to find a way to make money and some of them are joining the…
Cindy Oldham commented on the group 'Small Publishers and Independent Authors'
I started my publishing company after doing much research. Knowing my memoir book would be a niche book and harder still to get it published traditionally, I decided to take the self-publishing route. My book came out, from my company, and is doing…

Nina - I totally understand about not having enough time. Congratulations on the publisher wanting to see your MS. Good luck! As for Nano, I feel bad on that one but I would concentrate on the YA book also. I'm working on a couple of books also…
Adding some friends to my list. They all seem very nice.

Quite Offended!

I must state that I am quite offended by Publishers Weekly for their unfortunate list of Best Books of 2009. It is amazing that they couldn't find one woman who would qualify for their list. I will say that my opinion of PW has drastically changed after viewing this list.
Women bring so very much more to a book than men do. They write with heart, feelings and love to inform, entertain and educate those about them. It is par for the course since the literary canon of works still… Continue

Nina Weber said… - Hello Cindy and welcome to the NaNoWriMo-group!
I am glad to see another Nano-veteran join the group. So far, we got a lot of great input and help, especially in the outlining phase last month and this month, from people with years of experience in the challenge.
If you would like to share or ask something, just add to an existing thread or start a new one.

Kendra Bonnett said… - Hi Cindy, Thanks for the introduction. I agree, SheWrites is a great concept. My co-author and business partner and I also have recently set up our own publishing company. We'll be publishing our first book for ourselves in either December or January but we've just published a book for one of our clients...a vet who has written an excellent book called Dog Dish Diet. I will check out your site.

How John Cusack ruined Valentine's Day for Me.
Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…

This is so beautiful. Thank you for your generous spirit and for sharing it. I am slowly working on a memoir that has been "near finished" for two years. I'm struggling not to let writing be "the first to go," when life gets…
