The publishing experts we follow have plenty of business and marketing advice and news to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
The hidden world of global book awards: Hannah Jacobson invites authors to look beyond the borders of their home country when it comes to literary contests (Alliance of Independent Authors).
-
What are these rules of which you strangely speak?: Christina Hamlett shares all the ways in which she's seen submission policies completely ignored by writers looking for blog attention (Women Writers, Women's Books).
-
Bloggers are still important, but they're disappearing: Similarly, Anne R. Allen can tell that the publishing world still needs bloggers, but given the way in which marketers reach out sometimes, she can understand the movement by many toward Substack (Anne R. Allen's Blog... with Ruth Harris).
-
The artisan author path: Joanna Penn interviews Johnny B. Truant about how to build a writing career that feels less frenetic but still finds, connects with, and sells to readers (The Creative Penn).
