Welcome to the January 13, 2014 edition of tips and tricks for writers and authors. We have a good mix of posts on book marketing, publishing, and writing. Thank you to all of this week’s contributors!

Book Publishing:

Erica Verrillo presents Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity: Everything I did wrong, Part 3: ePublishing posted at Publishing … and Other Forms of Insanity, saying, “Many first-time authors focus on publishing the way a pregnant woman focuses on birth. The soon-to-be mother thinks, “I’m going to have a baby!” not “I’m going to have a sullen teenager who hates me and bashes up my car.” I made a number of critical mistakes in publishing both my print and eBooks. If you don’t do what I did, your book won’t have so many accidents later on.”

Book Marketing:

Stefanie presents Book Marketing Timeline – Why A Book Marketing Timeline Is Important! posted at The Write One Blog.

Book Publicity

xmarkm presents Fear and Loathing on the Netgalley Trail posted at Running, Writing, and Chasing the Dragon, saying, “Netgalley is a popular resource for book reviewers. My article is a fun, edgy, quirky, and fresh look at writing book reviews and obtaining ARC copies of novels.”

Writing:

Erik Matlock presents Some Advice for the Aspiring Blogger posted at Becoming a Better Man.

Chrys Fey presents How to Write a Novel posted at Write With Fey, saying, “This is a collection of links (some have summaries) from my blog that could aid you in the process of writing your first novel. Enjoy!”
