New Advertisement...

New Advertisement for my Novel Enhanced, coming mid - June.
 

Coming June 2025

 

Coming Soon...

 Well the time has come to start setting out the marketing plan, along with self made adds, I've made lists of websites, FB sites, blogs, and book places to advertise it when I get it back and upload it.

I have also started to look at the literature festivals that are coming up around Ireland as I will have two novels to sell and promote.

Next is the book swag, business cards as well as researching news letters.

It's so exciting.

Insecure Writers Support Group May Post.

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer—aim for a dozen new people each time - and return comments. This group is all about connecting!

MAY'S QUESTION:

May 7 question - Some common fears writers share are rejection, failure, success, and lack of talent or ability. What are your greatest fears as a writer? How do you manage them?

It's difficult to manage the fear of rejection, failure, success and lack of talent or ability. I'll be blunt, it hurts to be rejected, no two ways about it, lack of talent is a constant worry, as is ability or the lack there off, that all siphons into imposter syndrome which a good many writers / authors such as myself suffer from, especially if sales are low or we have no comments on our books in good reads, the dreaded A or any place else we have advertised our books. 

Success I believe is a different animal all together, that all depends on your definition of Success, is it selling loads and making tonnes of moula, or is it the act of getting a book from brain to print and seeing it out in the world, or is it simply getting your words on paper.

WHAT DOES SUCCESS ACTUALLY MEAN TO YOU?

Also I've finished editing book two, its with the Proof Reader and now I'm editing book three. So it's all go here.

Book Stores Rant...

I am all for independent book stores, I frequent them when I can. My problem is that I live up the side of a mountain with no transport and no independent book store in the local villages. Some stores aren't even online, all of them don't sell ebooks, and most don't do self published...now, I know ye hate the big A with passion, but tell me where else can I sell my books for a reasonable price? Where else can I create my books for the same price? I have 9 book shelves crammed with books and one kindle the same. I read both paperback and ebook (because unlike some I support new novelists starting out, and older books one cannot get any more). I am no fool, and I've done my research, have you? I can't stand bezos, so tell me, what do I, and others in my boat do? Please, I'm listening, because I have asked before and all the usual recommendations cost more than I can afford, so come on...tell me...who do I change to where I can get the same job done for what they charge me..I'm listening.
