Darlene Deluca commented on Brooke Warner's article The Catch-22 of Getting Traditionally Published

March 2014

I've always had a problem with the catch-22 of building a platform before publishing. It just didn't make sense to me to go out and promote myself without having a real product in hand. I've started down the traditional path, and have received some...

February 2014

Caroline, One thing I haven't figured out on Goodreads is how to post a simple status update rather than an event or blog post. Help?! Thanks!

January 2014

Hi, Maria! I have done most all of those things, and am really enjoying connecting with readers and authors on Goodreads. I've also started a group called Friends in Fiction on Goodreads, and would love to have some more interaction. It's not about...

Darlene Deluca commented on Jill Jepson's article 7 Words that Changed My Author's Platform Forever

January 2014

Darlene Deluca commented on Zetta Brown's article [Reality Check] Should I Do My Own Ebook Conversions? – The Pros and Cons

January 2014

I've formatted three books myself working with a Microsoft Word document and following the online instructions. My two critique partners each paid for the service. Yes, they saved time, and I saved the money. But what I really gained was control of...

Veronica Marie Lewis-Shaw commented on Darlene Deluca's article Crime in Literature

January 2014

January 2014

Suzi, I agree . . . Rampant Sisterhood it a great phrase! I may "steal" it with credit, of course. I have, on occasion had to remind folks that people who read often read more than one book, and more than one genre. It's not a competition! :-)
