Book Marketing

Sarah Bolme submitted Learning From the Numbers posted at Marketing Christian Books, saying, “The newest figures from book sales (new, not used books) for the first half of 2014 (January to June) were released last week. I find this book sales data interesting and relevant for authors and publishers as you plan your publishing endeavors.”

Writing

Chrys Fey submitted Correct Grammar Uses posted at Write With Fey, saying, “Grammar confuses many people, and countless people use words and phrases incorrectly. This post is meant to clear up some of that confusion by highlighting the words and phrases that are most often used incorrectly.”

Getting Published
