I also have a special FB … Continue reading “Keeping Up With Jackie”

Writing a Damn Fine Proposal #3 – The Partial
Better late than never right? Here’s my last post about creating a killer proposal and yeah, I know, it’s months overdue and I’m a baaaad for not posting sooner but deadlines always come before everything else… Anyway, my previous posts have dealt with your synopsis and having a couple of sentences to put in your … Continue reading “Writing a Damn Fine Proposal #3 – The Partial”
Writing a Damn Fine Proposal #2 – Pitching
So a couple of week ago (yeah, I know I’m late with this but the writing comes first), I talked about synopses.

Writing What You Love – AKA Why Billionaires??
Yeah, so I’ve been thinking a lot about sales and markets and all the stuff you do when you have books being released immanently. And about how some things sell better than others and how lame it is when you don’t write what’s supposedly ‘popular’. It also hasn’t escaped my notice that yes, I have … Continue reading “Writing What You Love – AKA Why Billionaires??”
