Starting New in the Year?

Is one of your resolutions for the new year to "get published" or start a writing career? If so, here's a very interesting article to read:

ARE YOU STEPPING OUT ON FAITH WITH YOUR WRITING?
Article by Poet/Author Marc Lacy

"Remember, there is no such thing as an overnight rockstar author. This is a big misconception...we are living in a literary age and yes just about “everyone” is publishing books and writing now. Some are actually making a good buck in the literary industry... [BUT] Like an aggressive stock, there is potential for quick and extreme success as well as quick and extreme failure."

Book Promo Leads for the New Year!

As there are so many authors (and going-to-be authors) filled with the good intentions of “getting published” or “selling more books” in 2010, I thought it might be helpful if I posted a few links to sites (that have even more links) featuring a wealth of information in regards to promoting and selling your work so that you can get going in the right direction with your promotion this year.

Enjoy!

Update to the Update of the POD Database

Just when I thought I'd caught up with all the new and recently found companies, don't you know there had to be a couple more to come out of hiding soooooo I've updated the POD database once again...and as of this moment, there are now well over a hundred companies listed for your comparative research.

Over a hundred. Wow! That's quite of few companies to look into when trying to pick the right publishing service for your book but that's also a good thing for it gives you more options in which to choose from and also helps to keep the industry (somewhat) competitive (whenever one of the "little guys" come out with lower pricing).

So, if you haven't downloaded your copy yet--go and get it--and if you've recently picked up a copy, drop back by soon to get the newer version or you'll miss the updates.

Update of the POD Database

As I try to get caught up with several projects this holiday weekend, I thought I would let everyone know that I recently updated the POD Database, tweaking a couple entries and adding two new companies.

If you're not familiar with the Database, well it's a sixteen page comparison chart listing quite a few on-demand publishing services, which may also be referred to as self-publishing companies, independent publishing firms, supported self-publishing, assisted POD publishing, and so on. (Seems the industry is gaining in name variants as quickly as it produces books--ha-ha).

You can find the downloadable PDF by visiting my website or clicking the link above in the menu bar.

I guess I also should add that I believe my RSS is back up and running, after a few minor glitches, so with that final issue corrected, I believe my new blog is ready to go ;)
