The Lecture Experience: Part I by Feather Schwartz Foster During the past year or so, I have done nearly a hundred talks about my book, “LADIES: A Conjecture of Personalities.” It’s about the First Ladies – the OLD First Ladies, Martha through Mamie. Since they talk to each other and cross through centuries, it is, of course, an historical fiction. In doing so many lectures, I thought it might be interesting to discuss are some of the things I have learned…. 1. Sadly enough, while my audiences LOVE my talks (and they are never the same), not too many a ...

How to Sell Your E-book - (or other information product) - Through Quickie Seminars by Alexis Dawes I've been selling my own self-published information products (mainly e-books) online for the past 3 years. Is it profitable? Definitely. But as any seasoned information marketer will vouch, it takes time to build up your name recognition online. You'll have to spend considerable effort to develop word-of-mouth web site traffic. It's rare that you start off making $1,000 a day. But offline it's an entirely different story.

PublishAmerica - Publishing Parasites by Eddie Bruce I have to admit to being readily impressed by company names. Maybe it's an age thing. You see, I was around when we had nationalised industries here in Britain, you know, British Railways, British Gas, British Steel, British Road Services, etc., etc. Those companies may have been over-staffed and under-efficient but you always knew you could trust them, and a product marked Made in Britain had class - in those days. Even after they became privatised the word British in a company name still, in m ... Bush's Election Victory: Ethics, Morality and Religion Defeated War, Economy and Foreign Policy by Shafquat Rabbee President George W. Bush has unofficially won his re-election bid defeating Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry. The election was close, no doubt, but it was by no means a re-run of the 2000 election drama. Because this time, Bush bagged a convincing victory by winning both Electoral College and Popular votes. The election which was heralded to be the most important in America's recent history ended up being an as-usual-election, where Democrats and Republicans relied heavily on respective ...

Catholics Need To Take a Second Look at Morality by Peter Mennona, Jr. According to CNN, Catholics voted for President Bush over Senator John Kerry by a 51 to 48 percent margin. Hence, Catholics voted for a Born Again Methodist over a Catholic candidate. Many Catholic Bishops have declared abortion a “non-negotiable issue.” In the diocese of Brooklyn, which encompasses Brooklyn and Queens, there is not a single memorial to those who have been put to death by our government. Nonetheless, I know of at least one parish in Brooklyn that has a three-thousand dollar memo ... Publish Anything: The Saga of a PublishAmerica Author by Lisa Maliga My story is that an author who’d done online writing for such dot gones as Themestream, Written By Me, and The Vines, someone trying hard to have fiction, poetry and nonfiction in print for real, recommended PublishAmerica. She claimed it was a traditional book publisher. I was struck with their slogan, “We treat writers the old fashioned way – we pay them.” Wasn’t that what publishers were supposed to do? But since my novel was just sitting on the DiskUs Publishing site and doing nothing but s ...

An Appeal To The Bloggers! by Srinivasa Moorthy Blogging is smart an art. Blog sites are the nicest portals which do aid people to unfurl their inundating mind streams, in umpteen aspects and share their ideas and experiences.

Three Steps To Pump Up The Drama In Your Copy by Victoria B. Rosendahl All the world’s a story. Video games have storylines; newspapers report stories; country music lyrics tell a sad tale. At a quick glance it would appear that fiction writing and copywriting are two mutually exclusive disciplines. But it just isn't so. Fiction and copywriting share the same heart: emotion.

You Can Be An Author by Crystal Paine “You should write a book.” For years, I had been hearing this comment. Writing an entire book seemed completely overwhelming, and so, for a long time, I contented myself with writing short articles.

Somer “No one will ever know who I am, I’m a nobody-writer from nowhere… I’ve had a thousand rejections from all the major publishers. It seems my destiny is never to be read, another nameless soul lost to the sands of eternity.” Johnny’s face twisted into a pained grimace, you could tell his heart was tied up in a pretzel knot of self-deprecation. “What’s the use in writing if I know no one will ever read my stories?’ He looked at me for some kind of comfort or wisdom; luckily I was ready with the an ...

Those conversations currently get me through my worst cases of writer’s block. I have to laugh when I read articles on breaking through a writing slump.
