The Self-Publishing Debate - Opinions?
Hello; I have self-published with Lulu. As stated before, self-publishing can be great if one knows what they are getting into, and it's not for everyone. I didn't even try to find an agent for my b…

Hello Shewriters; Does anyone know of magazines which publish, and pay, for fiction romance stories, other than the tons of Dorchester Media groups or Woman's Day/Woman's World? I write traditional…

Hello from a new member who is getting nervous!
Hello Beth; The secret life of bees is one of my favorite books. As Pamela Dorman edited that novel, and gave such great reviews on yours, stating it was something she was proud to launch with, you a…

I saw this movie last night, and it was wonderful! The location scenes were so much better than I expected, and really added the perfect atmosphere for such a heart warming, well written story. Again, Congrats!

I'm seated on the edge of my chair waiting for that movie!!! I never would have known it was based on a book written by a SHEWRITER if you hadn't written about it with the original title. You must be so excited! Congrats!

This was so inspiring! I can relate to this, and I'm sure there are so many SHEWRITERS who feel the same. Thanks so much for sharing, and giving a spark of hope to poets. Good luck on pub day!
Lea; Thanks for the advise, and the amazing photos, it looks like you had a wonderful time. The animals were certainly enough to make you fall in love with them. As far as being flattered by the turkey's crush on you; girl I know how you feel; we ha…

Dear Lea;
Thanks for the detailed advice- :-), always helpful. I do know better than to write dialogue in "Bahamian accent" as I know reading it, even as a Bahamian, will not be smooth at all. Also, I don't speak with an accent or deep dialect, so…

Book launch. Part 2
November 28th, 2009.
After months of preparations and anticipation, the fair finally arrives. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first, shall we? My earnings from the sale of my books covered the cost of operating my space, and the price of my lunch! I was very disappointed, and now have to look for a plan B for surviving as an entrepreneur at this time. I was amazed that I did much better one on one by taking my work to individuals and having them purchase right away or place an order.

Book launch. Part 1
November 18th, 2009.
Last month I left a comment of encouragement for Beth Hoffman, who shared that she was so nervous about the pre-release of her book. My advise was to do all she could do, then just breathe. I added that I also had a book launch coming up, and that I hoped I would be able to follow my own advise. I’ve read numerous posts on various forums, about how nerves can get the best of writers; a writer has so much riding on a publication or launch, which makes each case one of panic… Continue

- LOL - Thanks for the comment and blog visit, Sherelle. That's the age of technology (twitter included); because we don't see what one doesn't write, we can feel pretty intimately connected to them from what they do write. I find myself feeling the same way about the ppl on my blogroll (well - most of whom are family members, lol), particularly if I connect with someone's sense of humor. My husband wonders why my writing isn't more lighthearted or comedic. Go figure. Feel free to leave comments on the blog, btw, you're always welcome.

Michelle Maisto said… - Hi Sherelle,
Thanks for your encouraging note! As for the promotions, it's basically just been my publisher setting up readings, and then me trying to rally friends to come out... I just came back from two readings in SF, and 1 in LA, which were definitely informative. With each one, I realized how to get more people out -- in some instances it would have been as easy as having a chalkboard on the sidewalk saying there'd be a reading, and free drinks, that night -- and what a need there is to involve the internet, and sites like She Writes, in getting readers... With publishers having so little money these days, there's a lot of work to do, but i'm encouraged that there are tools out there, if we can figure out how best to use them.
What about you? Have you figured out good outlets for promotion?
Such a pleasure to meet you!
Michelle
