Nice to meet you.

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Networking via the Internet' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

Hi Colleen, My one wish to come true is that my screen optioned for Husbands May Come and Go but Friends are Forever will be sold. My greatest fear is that I won't be alive to see the film. My favorite author is Richard Russo I write…

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Looking for recommendations for interior formatting and cover designers.' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

If you hire a book designer, it can be quite expensive. You might check out a package on CreateSpace first which is very reasonably priced. I used them for my book. You're welcome to take a look. It all depends on what your budget…

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'First lines.' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)

@ Jennifer. I agree with Carolyn. Your first line is too long. The reader has to be grounded upfront. Where is your protagonist? We know she's in a car, but where? The first line should set the scene for…

@ Tyra. In a recent writing workshop I attended, the instructor went over the elements of scene. Every scene should have the following six elements: action (something the character does); dialogue (anything spoken out loud); physical…

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Writing your book pitch cover letter and synopsis' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all hate having to write a synopsis and a query letter.

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Writing your book pitch cover letter and synopsis' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

Of course, you can find someone to write your synopsis and/or cover letter. There are more people making money off of writers than writers making money (that's my motto.) The key is you'll pay a fortune for this service, mainly…

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'Advertising For Your Novel' in the group Novelists (Struggling or Not)

I have found that people prefer receiving bookmarks rather than postcards or business cards. They are more apt to keep and use them. I get mine at nextdayflyers.com Take a look at my most recent book promotion tip. Judith Marshall Author…

Judith Marshall replied to the discussion 'E-books by an unknown author - should we charge?' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

Here's the thing -- it doesn't matter what the price of your book is if no knows knows about it! I'm always amazed at how many indie authors do little or nothing to promote their books. My novel didn't just get…

Got swamped with work stuff; but I'm on holiday leave now, and I'm taking it on my Christmas cruise with me next week. I'll be reading it on the beach in Belize! Happy holidays and many blessings to you! :)

I am sorry I am unable to give you direct links to the areas you were looking for-im unsure how to do that myself! All I can add is when you enter the site is to the left you will see the members pics,right under that is the pages section.

Thank you so much for joining my group Blooming Late!

I appreciate that you jumped right in and introduced yourself but please also list your blog and your book in the pages section to the left of the main group page.

I have heard of your book actually, of course LOVE the title because it is SO true! And congrats on your interview and all the good press you have gotten! I really like your blog and all of your writers platform!

My husband is actually suffering from terminal cancer and so I also appreciate what you have done in raising awareness and having donations set up for research, even though it is for breast cancer, his last chemo which saved his life literally since he was within weeks of dying when they found it actually used a drug that was originally for breast cancer. He was diagnosed in Nov 09 and is very healthy despite the cancer thanks to this drug so all research is good research!

Anyway I hope you spend some time looking around the group. We have some very nique things going on here and have a great group of dynamic women that are a support, encouragement and inspiration to writing!

I am very glad you are here and WELCOME to the group!

If that doesn't work, you might want to copy and paste it into your browser. Love to hear what you think!
