One of my heroes is Peter Bowerman. His most recent book, The Well-Fed Self-Publisher is based on his very real-world experience publishing two best sellers, The Well-Fed Writer and The Well-Fed Writer: Back for Seconds.
I checked his blog and didn’t find anything about Amazon’s controversial attempts to force self-publishers to print through Amazon-owned BookSurge to […]

I’m probably not going to win a lottery (I never buy tickets) and it doesn’t look like I’m going to inherit anything substantial. And, truth be known, I don’t have any real retirement plan.

We’ll have jobs as usual on Wednesday.
Write well and often and take […]

We in the Business Channel picked this week’s “fun” theme as gas prices. I’m not at all sure what’s fun about gas prices, unless, of course, you own an oil company. And my hunch is even typical share holders are feeling the gas price pinch.
Of course, we freelance writers, editors, translators, bloggers, etc. don’t usually […]
