Greetings Friends & Readers,
Guest Blog at Sinclair Macleod's
I'm so pleased to be a Guest Blogger as of today (17th February) at Scottish crime writer, Sinclair Macleod's blog:
Please go check out my thoughts on places I have written, entitled GETTING TO THE ONLY THING, and check out Sinclair, his own very interesting blogs on such topics as Classic Soul Revival, how to get the closest shave and the how-to's of self publishing...and his crime noir series starring The Reluctant Detective. I am very interested in the reluctance of his detective, by the way, because I am an avid fan of Christopher Vogler's Jungian-based book, "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers", which is about the Hero's Journey, for life and for writers...and one of the themes he discusses is a form of reluctant hero, attempting to refuse the call...so what Sinclair is doing with his hero is part of a very interesting tradition...
But not to get off track!
Self Publishing Survey & Prize Drawing from INDIE AUTHORS SCOTLAND
Another important notice is that Indie Authors Scotland is asking writers (both published, unpublished, commercially or small-press published and indie/self published) to help by filling out their survey. IAS is doing a bit of research on current attitudes toward self-publishing...so you could help if you have a few short moments to answer the survey questions. And ALL writers are invited, "both sides of the pond" or wherever you live on the planet. They are offering a prize to the participants, a chance to win a place on their Self Publish and
Sell Bookcamp worth £297. As the course is done on line, this is a fantastic offer for any writer anywhere who plans to self publish.
From Kim Macleod's survey call:
We'd love to hear what you think about self
publishing. What questions do you have?
You probably know already that
Sinclair and I are really passionate about self publishing. We want to know what
you think about it - whether you love it, don't understand it or think it's too
complicated. The survey will only take a couple of minutes of your time and will
really help us to know what future training opportunities and support that we
can provide to make the process as simple as possible for you. We will be
arranging a webinar event to answer the questions posed too - so this is your
chance to get answers to your questions.
Please share with any writer
friends.
What is Bookcamp training?
Our Bookcamp is a six module online course that covers every aspect of self
publishing, from creating your ebook through to marketing and selling. It's
totally flexible and supported by both Sinclair and I so you can learn at your
own pace.
Our latest recruit to the Bookcamp - Michelle Miller Allen,
who is planning to publish her book Guardian
of the Dark School in Spring 2014 had this to say: "This course is the exact right balance of user friendly technical
information and personalised/customised coaching. Everything about the course
works, for me -- accessible, on your own time frame, you can revisit modules as
and when you need them again, nothing was really difficult because the coaches
Kim and Sinclair were always 'on call' if you hit a gliche. It is extremely
good value for money and nothing short of revitalising my creative work and
writing life."
We are delighted at the progress Michelle is making with her book and so
looking forward to her book launch. This could be you next - so go on complete our survey and enter the
FREE Prize Draw.
