Welcome to the August 5, 2013 edition of tips and tricks for writers and authors. We’ve got insights into getting published, writing, and book publicity this issue. Thank you to all of the contributors!

Book Publicity

Brian Daniel Young presents Audiobooks: Top 7 Reasons to Create an Audiobook Today posted at Business and Sports Articles Blog – Cerilene.com.

Getting Published

Susan Spann presents Paying it Forward – by Susan Spann posted at KerrySchafer.com, saying, “One of the most-overlooked benefits of publication is the chance to “pay it forward” by encouraging other writers. This anecdotal post shares a story about a recent opportunity, and urges other authors to help those following on the road to publication.”

Social Media

Marcy Kennedy presents 7 Reasons Every Writer Needs to Be on Twitter posted at Kristen Lamb’s Blog, saying, “Twitter often gets a bad rap by people who don’t understand it, misunderstand it as full of spam and celebrity stalkers, or don’t know how to use it to its full potential to build an author platform. When used correctly, though, Twitter can be one of the best tools for meeting new readers and increasing traffic to your blog. Not to mention it’s fun!”

Writing

Jon Rhodes presents The Easiest Way To Write Unique Content | Affiliate Help posted at Affiliate Help!, saying, “This article shows you the easiest way to write in a unique way.”

Chrys Fey presents Writing About: Children posted at Write With Fey, saying, “Out of all the characters that you could create, children are the most fun to write about. No matter what age they are, 2-12 years old, boy or girl!”

Phyllis Edgerly Ring presents Search: best part of “research” posted at Leaf of the Tree.
