Gibt's hier Menschen, die für Lehrbücher schreiben und Erfahrungen teilen möchten? Will ich einen Total-Buy-Out-Vertrag für ein Lern-Heft einer Fernuni unterschreiben? Nein, wollen ganz sicher nicht. Will ich das Heft machen? Ja, durchaus. Zahlen sie gut? Geht so. Wie würdet ihr das angehen? sfz Gerne RT. #Lehre#Uni#Schreiben#Lehrbuch#AuthorBusiness#Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
Dionysus in Wisconsin has also been shortlisted for the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice Award in the paranormal/fantasy/scifi/time travel category! I didn't get a chance to make a graphic specifically for this one, but I'm excited--being shortlisted means it went up against more traditional M/F romances and won!
Boah, Verträge lesen ... Nein, es macht keinen Spaß. Aber es ist die einzige Möglichkeit, nicht versehentlich nur komplette (Auftrags-)Texte für immer und ewig los zu sein ("für die Dauer des gesetzlichen Urheberrechts"), dem Publisher sämtliche Rechte daran zu überschreiben ("zukünftige zum Zeitpunkt des Vertragsschlusses unbekannte Verwertungsformen") sondern sich auch von einzelnen Publishern abhängig zu machen (Konkurrenzklausel). #Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
Leute, lernt Verträge lesen! Und dann wird drüber verhandelt. Nein, das macht keinen Spaß, aber es sichert euer Einkommen und was ihr mit eurem eigenen geistigen Eigentum nach Vertragsunterzeichnung noch machen dürft. Und ja, das ist wirklich so wichtig. #Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
This is what happens when I don't get sick before an awards announcement: I watch a bunch of videos about graphic design, then forget them all and make this!
Dionysus in Wisconsin is a finalist in the fantasy/scifi category! So if you were putting it off because you don't read romance novels, never fear: it's also a fantasy.

#writerscoffeeclub 23. What's your strangest source of writing inspiration?
I was playing a game where you designed an English country cottage (interior and exterior) and a London townhouse interior. When I finally had both where I wanted them, I began to imagine who lived in what dwelling ... and how the two might meet.
Hey there, #WritingCommunity!
I’m a full time indie author. My latest book is on how I make a steady middle class income even with a chronic illness and other life challenges.
I’d appreciate it if you checked out my Kickstarter! It’s filled with practical action items as well as mindset shift advice.
#wordweavers Apr 19: Do you tend to connect with your MCs or antagonists more?
MCs. Why? Because sometimes the antagonist is time, or a natural disaster (I wrote a book set in Pompeii, for crying out loud). There's not a lot of connecting to do in that case.
There are characters who are antagonistic, to be sure, but I keep in mind that everyone thinks what they're doing is right/righteous, so I try to show the reasoning.
#WordWeavers 18: Do you write primarily in the same genre you read as a child?
I was a voracious reader across genres ... but the thing that suddenly occurred to me was how much I loved Victoria Holt's gothic novels as a tween (although we didn't have that term then) and teen. Reading Anya Seton's "Green Darkness" as a teenager made me a historical fiction fan for life ... and that's the primary genre I write. So, the answer is "yes, and ..."
