WRITING AND EDITING

July 16, 2021July 16, 2021 / D.L. Finn, Author / 84 Comments

Hi SEers! Denise here to talk about the last step before releasing a book—editing. Authors put a lot of time, work, and love into their words. They go over their manuscripts several times, have beta readers, and critique groups to offer suggestions. Then, there’s another read-through catching those tiny mistakes. Is it ready to release? … Continue reading WRITING AND EDITING

How to Hone Your Elevator Pitch

April 1, 2019March 31, 2019 / P. H. Solomon / 34 Comments

Me-me-me-me. Uh-hmmm. Since I'm warmed up, here's my best singing demonstration.

The meaning for most of us is plain; we tend to be too close to a problem to actually grasp the scope of it. Shakespeare played on this saying somewhat in Macbeth … Continue reading See the Forest & the Trees

A Self-Publishing Checklist

May 15, 2017May 6, 2017 / coldhandboyack / 53 Comments

Hi Story Empire fans, Craig here again. I'm pre-writing this so I don't know when it will post as it references my process. The big point is I have two books that are very close to being released. One or both may be available when this posts. Being a self publisher gives a tremendous amount … Continue reading A Self-Publishing Checklist
