| Danyell "Soltreu" Garrett, Novelist Posted: 22 Jan 2012 06:17 PM PST I recall from watching early episodes of American Idol (No, I'm not a fan) the show would put on all those people who could not sing. And I remember telling others, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to get in front of a national audience and embarrass myself like that. I used to say [...] |
| 7 Ways Friends Can Support Your Book (and How to Ask for Their Help) Posted: 22 Jan 2012 06:00 PM PST Courtesy of Build Book Buzz I recently read an article that detailed seven ways people could support their author friends.

After finishing a first draft of the manuscript, [...] |

| 30 Day Notice – More Than Just a Book Signing Posted: 22 Jan 2012 09:30 AM PST "I lived in a house where there were no guns that I could see, how quick and easy that would've been. I remember feeling so alone. I couldn't tell my friends about what was going on inside of me; I couldn't even explain it to myself. All I knew was that I had been feeling [...] |
| The Value of Publicity Posted: 22 Jan 2012 09:30 AM PST I'm J.A. Konrath. People consider me to be one of the mouthpieces of the self-publishing movement. As such, I often get interviewed.
