A “Safe Haven for Writers”

Whenever I come across a great site for writers, I like to pass it along to friends and colleagues. We all should do whatever we can to encourage writers who inspire us through their websites and blogs.

I want to share a real find. Martha Engber’s thoughtful and informative blog Growing Great Writers From the Ground Up. Martha knows her craft; she’s worn just about every cap a writer can. She’s a published author, journalist, playwright and now blogger. Her blog has useful material for both fiction and nonfiction writers.

In the interest of transparency, you need to know that Martha recently wrote about Rosie’s Daughters: The “First Woman To” Generation Tells Its Story and our winning a 2008 IPPY Book Award. But this post is not payback. It is, however, how I happened to discover her site. [click to continue...]

Our new ebook, Using the Internet to Write Your Way to More Books Sales, has been more than 20 years in the making. It’s crazy but true. I’ve been an author since 1983 when Simon & Schuster published The Everyone Can Build a Robot Book and Ace It! Using Your Computer in School. I received a $5000 advance ($2500 per book) and thought I was rich. I soon learned better.

Now, 25 years, 7 books, 3 magazines, 200+ magazine articles and 18 years as a marketing executive later I’ve figured out a few things…to be a successful author you must be an Author-Entrepreneur. Or an Authorpreneur, as Matilda and I now call ourselves.

If you want to be a more successful author and become an Authorpreneur, then please sign up for our ebook. Use the opt-in box in the right-hand column.

Oh by the way, because this book is a work in progress and I’ll be updating it regularly for the next several months, I’m currently giving it away free. If you sign up before I put a price on this, you’re guaranteed to receive all updates free too.

All I want in exchange is your feedback. Thanks.
