Being a modern author

Writington — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:38:38 +0000

The trials of the Modern Author Survival as a modern author is no small task. After 30 days of writing the two weeks that followed have been spent on covers, interior layouts, publishing with three on demand outlets, talking with retailers and arranging stock in real-world stores. Notable moments include: The cover designer who took my design, did nothing with it and offered the threatRead Now

Make Money in Music – Published! Serious Update! The book has now been published and available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats worldwide: Make Money in Music Without Being a Star! Layout clearly was completed eventually, and files accepted by Amazon. Ingram had a separate set of requirements for covers in different formats and epub files for eBook that again differed from Amazon. IRead Now

Self-Publishing – Amazon Trials Hello again. Progress continues on the new website – www.makemoneyinmusic.net, and the layout of the book is finally complete. Turns out, however, that my self-publishing guide needs an update! I had forgotten just how much fun it is getting the Amazon process completed. Once all the sections are completed, I uploaded my cover and book text PDFs, and waited the regulationRead Now

Make Money in Music

Writington — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 19:41:18 +0000

A Few Days Grace Hi everyone! After my hectic writing schedule over the last month producing ‘Make Money in Music’, I decided to treat myself to a few days off over the weekend. Well… ‘off’ writing anyway, I still messed with covers, interior layout and a website – www.makemoneyinmusic.net, seems I can’t help myself. The layout is now sorted I think, and since it’ll be available viaRead Now

A Book in a Month – Day 29

Writington — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 21:07:00 +0000

A Book Completed in a Month! Almost there! I am now obsessively checking and re-checking, and re-checking again. I’ve done some more work on the website, approached potential early reviewers and sent more material to the typesetter. One more day of editing of the final 20 pages, and it is as done as it is getting! The 50K NaNoWriMo target has been hit comfortably, preparing me nicely forRead Now

A Complete Book in 30 Days! Another day. Another sniffly, sniffly day! The review phase is now completed, all random typos / words I invented and horrible repetitions I can’t explain resolved. I’ve handed over to a typesetter now for some advice, and finished work on the cover. The 50K NaNoWriMo target has been hit comfortably, even allowing for modest loss during the rewrite and edit phases. WritingRead Now

A Book in a Month – Day 27

Writington — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 19:58:28 +0000

A Complete Book in a Month! Another day, another drama! I still have a cold, and spent half the day in hospital – a little more stressful than Sunday is supposed to be! The review phase continues, and whilst not as much book has been processed as yesterday I’m still broadly on course, though with more to do tomorrow to round it out. The 50K NaNoWriMo targetRead Now

A Book in a Month – Day 26

A Book Written in 30 Days! Well, I had a good innings… but we’ve arrived at day 26 and I’ve got a cold! I’m not feeling fantastic, but day one of re-writing went to schedule. Not quite as much fun as the writing, but I am relieved to find that what I ploughed through initially hangs together well, and I think I’m pretty happy withRead Now

A Book Written in a Month! I’ve got to admit there were several times along this journey where I wasn’t sure I’d get this far, but finally the last day of writing is complete! Well, the last day of blasting material down is completed, we still have three days of rewriting and two of editing to go, but I’m not going to let that ruin myRead Now
