Welcome to this week’s Author Marketing Experts’ Blog Carnival. This edition includes insights into writing, book marketing, and self-publishing. Thank you to this week’s contributors!

Writing

Chrys Fey submitted Passive Voice Misconception posted at Write With Fey, saying, “We have all heard (from agents, editors, etc.) that passive voice is something every writer should learn to spot and should work to eliminate from their writing, but some people are unclear on what passive voice is and why they have to avoid it.”

Self-Publishing

Glenn Miller submitted Kindle Unlimited Is Not Netflix for Books posted at Glenn Miller, saying, “Self-pub authors and readers in general wonder about Amazon’s new Kindle Unlimited. I offer that its promise (to readers — and therefore to authors) is beyond what’s been explored.”

Colin Dunbar submitted Format a Book in Word: Footnote, Index & Bibliography posted at Format Book in Word, saying, “Everything you need to format your book in Word.”

Book Marketing

Erica Verrillo submitted List of Online Reviewers Who Accept Self-Published Books posted at Publishing… And Other Forms of Insanity, saying, “I have assembled a list of 167 reviewers, all of whom accept ebook formats and self-published work, and have posted regularly. None of these reviewers charge for a review. Also included on the list are links to submission policy, contact info, and genres.”

Sarah Bolme submitted Opportunity: It’s Before You posted at Marketing Christian Books, saying, “Statistics of self-published book sales are dismal. Yours don’t need to be.”
