Laura Duksta sold well over 100,000 of her self-published children’s book. She has two videos that outline how she did it. One comment from me. I know you can self-publish a book for way way less than the $10,000 she quotes, so don’t lock in on that. Instead, pay attention to who she recommends in […]

Without a doubt, the biggest interest freelance writers have is how to get a gig.

I am so not a copy editor, and I am so appreciative of the good ones I know!
I’m doing the final pass on my book about how to write a book. I call it a pass, rather than an edit because I know I’m missing things. I always do! I am not one of those […]
Books are not only hard to write, the manuscripts tend to get long and messy. I’m going through the draft of my book about writing books and my headings are all messed up. I also changed typeface for the body somewhere in the middle. Plus, I started drafting in double space and then, as I […]
I finally got around to checking out one of the advertisers here, CreateSpace. At first glance it appears CreateSpace was perhaps set up to compete directly with Lulu.com - unless you want premium services, there are no fees to upload your book, etc.
What I didn’t realize until I got to the bottom of a page […]
