This Week in Publishing
It’s not a black-and-white decision of agented versus self-published…the wonderful world of grey is small press publishing. Writer’s Digest posted a lovely article on finding your middle ground. Read about the pros and cons of small press publishing.
In a recent post, Janet Reid wrote “The first thing to know about platform is that platform is not you talking about yourself. It's other people talking about you.” That got me thinking...when we think we are building our platform, are we doing it the right way? I decided to dig (I mean, Google.) Here are takes on the idea of author platform (some classic) from a variety of sources: Jane Friedman, Nonnie Jules, Joanna Penn, Writer’s Digest, and the aptly-named authors-platform.com.
Adjectives, glorious adjectives: finally, an article that doesn’t condemn them. (The word “crapulous” is on there. Awesome.)
"If you only write when you’re inspired you may be a fairly decent poet, but you’ll never be a novelist…" --Neil Gaiman
