Note to Authors

We applaud you, the job of writing is demanding, and those who work at it deserve accolaides for having the courage, openess and discipline to work at it. Good for you!!!
This site displays FREE on-line guides for authors to help create, plan, and execute your book project. We are currently organizing, refining and completing all the text covering each topic (see below). Each section will eventually be expanded to a booklet offered as an eBook and/or printed Booklet, as soon as we are confident all the latest and clearest information is included within it. We'll continually update. If we must charge a little for the booklets, the cost will be kept to a minimum.
  Encouragement, advice, information and help is here, for the following aspects:

NOTE: In our text, you will often see the note "We can help you with this," because we can.
But you can also manage it all on your own, we're not pushing, just reminding you that we are there for you if you need more clarification or assistance. eMail us, and we can set up a free email or phone consult.

This world of publishing is constantly in flux with the digital age, Print on Demand, eBooks, etc. We will help you understand your possible avenues and what each requires, with the latest information. As new information surfaces, we will work to add it here, so you'll have the latest guides possible.
   There are many printed books available (we'll suggest a few of the best on our "Additional Reading and Links"); but many of those are outdated as soon as they are a few months old. On our site, we will keep up-to-date information for you.
    Feel free to contact us with questions you'd like answered, or request topics you'd like covered, or more specific information about any aspect of writing, publishing and marketing. We strive to offer all the informtion you'll need.

Email us your questions or concerns. We will respond as quickly as possible.

We also offer one-on-one consulting without a big committment. See our Rates.
