Keep at it Cindy. Yesterday I heard on cable news that going on the computer and the internet keeps you young! I just got my first novel published, a novel that I had put away for 12 years! I decided to take it out and revamp it and send it out ag...

Chris Grover aka Christiane France commented on Cindy Charity's blog post 'I need some advice! LOL'

If you self publish, be it print or digital aka ebook, you pay for everything yourself and how/where are you going to sell the book? Also, and I don't mean this unkindly, how do you know it's even publishable? I suggest you submit to a few epublis...

Thanks ladies! I will for sure check out some e-publishers......what is the difference between them and self publishing?

Danielle Thorne commented on Cindy Charity's blog post 'I need some advice! LOL'

If it's fiction, I'd go with an electronic company that is reputable and has a fast turn around, such as The Wild Rose Press or Class Act Books to name a couple. I'm thinking abt self publishing a cookbook besides my fiction books that are with a ...

Cindy Charity commented on Cindy Charity's blog post 'Should I be thinking Agent?'

Thanks Amber and Anastasia! I have talked to two other authors and they think that the difficulties I am having is a bit extreme. I know that things take time but we are coming up to year one of a two year contract and I'm no better off than I was...

Connect with other authors with that publisher and see if they have similar problems. It may not be you.

ANASTASIA AMOR commented on Cindy Charity's blog post 'Should I be thinking Agent?'

If you want a large publishing house with distribution, an agent is the only way to go...but not all agents are good. There is a site that rates agents. If you should decide to look for an agent I'll fill you in.

trying to get back....

Hi everyone,

I took some time off to think about a lot of things. Being a newbie writer is a lot harder than I thought. The writing is easy and I have a fantastic time bringing my characters to life.....sometimes they demand it! Lolol.....but it's hard to know where to go after, who to believe, trust etc. I am constantly amazed by all the talent out there so much so that it had me stepping back, wondering if this is what I want to do.......I didn't read during this time, then, on the weekend, I… Continue

I need some advice! LOL

I need some advice.......I'm thinking of self publishing my first book. I have many reasons but the big one is that I want to get my book up and going. I've heard both good and bad things about self publishing, I've had people tell me that I should contact at least one hundred agents/publishers before self publishing. A few have tried to get me to buy this and that book that they claim will for sure get me through the door. The only thing I'M sure of is that I'll be out a few dollars! LOL......s… Continue

WOW!

Well I'm back from Ireland and all I can say is...............WOW!!! LOL Well there's a lot more to say but WOW seems to express what I was feeling when I was over there. It was AMAZING! I have family over there and it was great to be able to spend time with them. letters are good and all, but nothing beats a cup of tea and a good chat!
Now it's back to work. I've dusted off my manuscript and I have been getting back on track. Of course with Ireland still fresh in my mind, I tend to daydream abo… Continue

Support........

So I threw caution to the wind today and sent some stuff to an agent. For a solid week I barely slept due to writing and re-writing the perfect synopsis and editing the first two chapters of my book. I requested friends and family to weigh in with their thoughts and the response was great. But it got me thinking.....if I'm going to make a go of this whole book writing thing, I have to find support from people who know what it's like to pull all nighters, or have their characters talk to them ALL… Continue
