Becoming a Publisher
Want to get to know a publisher? Click on the original post. It may be the opportunity of a lifetime!
NOTE: Comments here are closed.
The current state of affairs regarding publishing literary works, in my humble opinion, is one of a dying business model. Traditional publishers viewĀ the self-publishing world as a disorderly upstart. This is a safe position as long as the James Pattersons and the Stephen Kings line their pockets with guaranteed sales. Traditional publishing used to pluck writers from obscurity, build their audience and then glean the rewards of that effort in conjunction with theirĀ fostered author. Currently, the audience and rewards must be present before landing a contract allowing a new author to create a living from writing. The writer has to bring a marketing plan to the publisher ā what exactly are the publishers doing?
To that end, I am embarking on setting up an indie publishing company:Ā Introvert PRESS.
This will be a foray into the unknown. It will be an effort to support writers. I will be doingā¦

One Liner Wednesday – What Happens Next

The Magicianās Curse kept me turning page after page ā I wanted to see what happens next.
Book Cover for āThe Magicians Curseā by Author Linda G.Hill
I gave Linda Hillās The Magicianās Curse four stars on Goodreads and Amazon. This was an entertaining read. Oftentimes, if youāve read as many books as I have, youād be able to predict whatās going to happen next. With The Magicianās Curse, I couldnāt. Thatās what kept me turning page after page ā to see what the characters will do next, what will happen to them. Itās certainly different from the typical books I read and a great palate cleanser. Itās not cookie-cutter or formulaic at all. I donāt normally read books with young characters (18/23) anymore, but I made an exception for this. Iām glad I did because the heroine and hero (Herman and Stephen) are mature for their age. Iād recommendā¦

Why do you read?
Excellent question.
Note: Comments here are turned off. Please visit Ionia’s original post and let’s see your answer!
As an author, I am always curious about what motivates people to read. Iāve done posts before about how people choose books, about covers and colors and what you seek in a blurb, but this post poses a simpler question with perhaps an opportunity for more complex answers.
Why do you read?
Sometimes I read to learn, sometimes to go on an adventure in a far away place I will probably never get to in real life. Occasionally, I read because it is such a part of me. Whereas some people enjoy movies, music or the theatre, favourite sports or socialising with others, I like books. I love the feel of them, the scent of them, the way they make you feel like someone understands when no one else does.
Sometimes I read to improve my craft. There are so many reasons. I also love the feeling of finding aā¦

Book Review Of Linda Hill’s ‘The Magician’s Curse’ : by Ivy Logan
A new, wonderfully crafted and most insightful review of The Magician’s Curse! Thank you, Ivy. š
Please click on the original post and have a read.
We cannot choose who we loveā¦ So what happens if the one we love is bound by an ancient curse? Do we watch, walk away or do we become a part of the abomination?
This story by Linda Hill is about a Magician. But do not cast that ward of suspicion yet. For it is The Great Dagmaru, the magician himself, despite all his magic who is powerless before an ancient curse. But is the magician as blameless as you would like him to be?In this day and age dominated by shape shifters, vampires, and werewolves the very premise of this book makes it a rare find.
If the character of the Magician seems too perfect, too flawless making you withhold your attachment there is someone for just for you dear reader- you might want to make your own and her name is Herman (yes she is a girlā¦

Want to grow your blog? A lot of great ideas here, and lots to think about. Check it out.
Note: Comments here are disabled. Please click on the original post.
I think that you have to decide what you are doing when it comes to blogging. Like anything in life you canāt always focus on two activities at once. You have the act of producing posts and you have the networking aspect of blogging that requires you to find ways to get people to care you exist. You mold your blogging methods according to the platforms you are on and the rules they decide to employ at any given time. At some point you decide you want to āmonetizeā because everyone uses that word. If I had placed the word Monetize in my title I would haveĀ gotten 5,000 views from people looking for the next big secretā¦ maybe I should go edit it.
I donāt use secrets or tricks when growing my blog. I simply network. I tried a few other platforms for boosting my numbers and the work neverā¦
