When you’re an independent author, you are your own marketing team! And my marketing team forgot to post my weekly Late-Idenified #AuDHD: A Starter Workbook post.
Hi, I'm an as-of-yet unpublished YA author and high school math teacher who just joined Mastodon. I'm looking out for suggestions of who to follow in the writing/teaching community!
Someone is either selling pirated copies of my book, or they're trying to scam people using my name and book. They even uploaded it under the name "River Hopkins" instead of "River J. Hopkins."
Can y'all please report the seller? This is the link. They're selling it for $14.99, and there's absolutely no way they have new copies for that price.
Two of my books, "Bayou Fire" and "Pompeii Fire," have protagonists who write for "Time Away," a (fictional) travel magazine. A third and final book in the series is bubbling away in my mind.
Where would you want to go for travel, adventure, and romance?
#WritingWonders Day 7/6 - (MC) Name one thing that is guaranteed to make you angry.
Erik: seeing my plans thwarted, or someone I love threatened.
Excerpt: “They hurt my horses, Erik ... and wanted me dead.” My voice was deep with anger.
For his part, Erik paced the room, cloak swirling about his ankles. “They will pay dearly for this,” he announced, depressing the mechanism for the mirrored door. “I will return to you tonight ... my love.”
With that, he was gone, the endearment hanging in the air even as the secret door slid shut behind him.
#PennedPossibilities#writing 201 — Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym or pen name? Why or why not?
Yep. This is my pen name.
My given name is both very hard to pronounce and spell for non-Germans. I want to be findable in searches on the internet and Amazon. I do like this persona I have created.
I picked Hannah as a nice, international first name, easy to say. Steenbock was the last name of my beloved Grandma.
Wieder daheim. Neue Runde Verpackungsregister und wie darf ich als freiberufliche Autorin eigentlich signierte #Bücher legal nach Deutschland verschicken ... #Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
Idealismus vs. wirtschaftliches Kalkulieren ... Will ich einen viereinhalb-Tage-Workshop für €260,- geben? Nein, nicht pro Tag. Insgesamt ... Seufz. #Autorenleben#writerslife#indieauthor
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
