Well, it’s Wednesday!
I am just going to jump to the meat of the post today and put another one up right after this one for project updates, personal updates, etc. So today, my topic is Goodreads and essentially how powerful it can be. Continue reading
Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday!
Throwing phrases in there now! Bam!
Today we are going over book covers and how that effects readers as well as a few concerns I have noticed.
The first thing to address is Continue reading
Wicked Wednesday!
(Again, again, I know. I’m from back east, sue me :P)
So today’s topic is all about whether or not to build a webpage for your novel(s).
Why webpages today? It isn’t particularly bookish, now is it?
It absolutely is! Continue reading
Super Sunday!
(To answer your next question, yes I am still doing this and yes they will continue to get more ridiculous)
The book trailer for the Watchers (book 1) is now on YouTube!
Was I intending to make a book trailer in my spare time on Friday? Nope.
It all started with a tweet. Continue reading
I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!
We are fresh from Iris’ KDP Free Promotion and it went (in my opinion) wonderfully! Continue reading
It’s Friday!
AKA The day Iris goes FREE over at Amazon.com! AKA I am on so little sleep that I am being powered by fluffy puppy dreams. See? That didn’t even make sense! Continue reading
Today is it!
Also, today is Thursday! (switching things up on you!) Iris went live on the Amazon store and as soon as I got that email I scheduled the KDP free book promotion. This Friday through Sunday (July 11th, 2014 – July 13th, 2014) Iris will be available for free! Continue reading
It’s Flipping Friday!
Yeah, I did go with that.
Today I thought we could go into some of the editing and a little formatting for self-publishing a book!
I have been working on Iris non-stop and got some awesome feedback from my editor. Criticism is hard sometimes but you have to learn how to roll with it and make it work! It isn’t that the critic is being a jerk (if they are, come tell me. I’ll give them a stern talking to!) they are simply sharing their opinion. If you are lucky to have someone who can be honest Continue reading
Wicked Wednesday!
No? Thought I’d try it… Regretting it.
Today we are talking all about setting up a cover for print, which I went into briefly on the last post covering more of the interior and how that can change the size of your book’s spine.
Before we get to all of that, I wanted to update everyone to know that Iris is over half-way there! (Cue Bon Jovi) Since I already posted the cover for Iris on Twitter (@jaglassbooks), and need to format it for print as well, I thought I would do it as a quick how-to! Continue reading
Good Saturday Afternoon!
With a fair warning here: This will be a longer post! First things first, I got my laptop back! It works perfectly now and hasn’t had any crashes or kernel panics (fingers crossed). Even though I put it through some rigorous trials yesterday, it’s still going strong. I learned some very valuable lessons (common sense) about self-publishing yesterday that I wanted to share with you!
We are going to be placing the order for the print proofs of The Watchers on Monday, Continue reading
