KINDLE BOOKS

dbutler33 — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:50:44 GMT

Hi,
I was trying to find some information on this board that I may have missed in regard to Kindle Books on Amazon.

My two books are up there now and are selling and I was wondering what we can do to make sure the books are formatted correctly for Kindle....if any person has an easy way to do that......????

WOW and its use

dbutler33 — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:13:06 GMT

Just checking a few things out about the Democratic Convention and in particular Caroline Kennedy.

What I found was a lot of information. But what really interested me was this one piece about women being held in October.

My question to all those viewing and responding is:
The use of our WOW for another conference. Is it okay or is it no big deal?
Here is the link.

My co-worker and I make up stories in our spare time, especially after listening to the Theater Channel on the internet.

How To Write An Author Press Release
by Scott Nicholson

First off, don't use funky foNTs. Stick with Times New Roman or Courier. Here is a sample of the press release I'm using to promote my new collection. This one is mostly geared toward book store owners to entice them to carry the book. I will use one or more variations of this to send to newspapers in areas where I will be signing or to media that might be reviewing the book.

Try to keep it to one page, especially for radio and television markets. For newspapers, I suggest sending a brief version such as this one, and a longer, more comprehensive version. For newspapers, you can also include interviews (canned or otherwise, but be sure there are no copyright problems), photos, postcards, etc, and a review copy of the book if you can afford it. A second sample press release follows this one. Farther below is a third, designed for radio broadcast.

Thank You For The Flowers
Enters A Literary Shadow Land

What happens when a star Little League player is a vampire, a city has secrets to protect, or a man's love for his wife is more powerful than death?

Award-winning author Scott Nicholson answers these questions and more in Thank You For The Flowers (200 pp., tpb, $14.95), a collection of thirteen stories of suspense and imagination. Nicholson won the Hubbard Gold Award in 1999, the top prize in the international Writers of the Future contest. He was also First Runner-Up for the 1999 Darrell Award, and his stories have been recommended for the Stoker and Nebula Awards.

Sharyn McCrumb, author of the best-selling Ballad books, says, "Scott Nicholson is a wonderful creature, rarer than a vampire shortstop: a gifted writer with wisdom and imagination. He has moved into that literary shadow land between Neil Gaiman and Ray Bradbury. Send out the Welcome Wagon!"

Thank You For The Flowers covers a range of territory from a Civil War ghost story called "The Three-Dollar Corpse" to "Dead Air," where a late-night deejay has an open line to a female serial killer. A high school girl has a crush on her best friend's guy, but so does her best friend's ghost in "In The Heart of November." In "Thirst," a girl's tears are the key to ending a long drought. In the afterwords, the author gives some background on the development of each story.

Author Kevin J. Anderson says of Nicholson's mix of mysteries, ghost stories, and fantasy: "Scott Nicholson's stories have their own heart (sometimes a warm, fuzzy heart, sometimes a twisted, black, and rotten heart). He has a fresh and true voice that will affect you, disturb you, enrage you, or make you laugh. He will not, however, leave you cold."

Scott Nicholson works as a journalist for The Mountain Times in Boone, NC. He studied Creative Writing at the University of North Carolina and Appalachian State University. He is currently marketing several novels and working on a screenplay. Nicholson operates a writer's website at www.hauntedcomputer.com.

Award-Winning Author Scott Nicholson Coming To High Point

What does a Little League coach do when his best player is a vampire?

Thats the question that Scott Nicholson answers in his story "The Vampire Shortstop," which won the Hubbard Gold Award in the international Writers of the Future contest. The story appears in the anthology Writers of the Future Vol. XV alongside the works of other exciting new voices in the fields of science fiction and fantasy. Nicholson will be in High Point to sign copies of the book on Saturday, June 3rd.

The Writers of the Future contest receives thousands of entries from across the world, and the stories are judged by best-selling writers such as Anne McCaffrey, Jerry Pournelle, Frederik Pohl, and Robert Silverberg. Nicholson received the $6,000 grand prize at a ceremony held last September in Hollywood. Contest winners have gone on to publish over 150 novels and 2,000 short stories.

"I woke up one morning with the words vampire shortstop in my head," Nicholson says. "I didnt know what it meant. I suppose its one of those puns the subconscious makes, a play on the words umpire and vampire. I went straight to the keyboard and wrote most of the story in one sitting."

The story was also picked up by W. P. Kinsella, author of the novel Shoeless Joe, which later became the movie "Field of Dreams." Kinsella is reprinting the story in a collection called Baseball Fantastic.

Nicholson has sold more than twenty stories. His work has been recommended for the Nebula and Stoker Awards, and he was First Runner-Up for the Darrell Award in 1999. Nicholsons first story collection, Thank You For The Flowers, will be released in October by Parkway Publishers.

Sharyn McCrumb, acclaimed author of the Appalachian Ballad books, says, "Scott Nicholson is that rare creature, even rarer than a vampire shortstop: a writer with wisdom and imagination. He has entered that literary shadow land between Neil Gaiman and Ray Bradbury. Send out the Welcome Wagon!"

Nicholson currently works as a journalist in Boone, NC. Hes marketing several novels, and is working on his first screenplay. He operates a writers website, The Haunted Computer, at www.hauntedcomputer.com.

The book signing begins at 4:00 PM on June 3rd at Books-A-Million, located at 265 Eastchester Drive. For more information on the event, call (336) 889-5112.

Boone Writer Wins Hubbard Gold Award

A local man has won the grand prize in an international writing contest.

Scott Nicholson received the Hubbard Gold Award at a ceremony held in Hollywood last week. Nicholson's winning story is called "The Vampire Shortstop," and was named the best story of the year in the Writers of the Future contest. The contest was judged by best-selling science fiction and fantasy writers. Nicholson, who lives in Boone, won six thousand dollars in prize and publication money plus a week-long trip to Hollywood.

His winning story is published in the anthology Writers of the Future volume fifteen. Nicholson will be signing copies of the book at the Book Warehouse in Boone on Saturday afternoon, October ninth.

VickiMTaylor — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:50:34 GMT

.Promoting Online and Promoting Offline how much time to devote to each Spend approximately 40% of your writing time promoting your work. About 35% promoting online and 5% promoting offline.
I've talked to some authors, and those with books currently coming out, they spend 100% of their time on promotion, mostly online.

Create a website that is easy to use, easy to maintain, friendly to visitors, contains excerpts, synopsis, reviews, photos, scheduled events, and ordering information for your books keep it updated

TIP!!! Always, always, capture e-mails and addresses of those who visit your site and write to you, buy books from you and visit your book signings. Create a master mailing list. This list should continue to grow.

What do you do offline?

Create a basic flyer that includes cover art, blurb, brief description, quotes from reviews, ordering information, and a bit about you, the author. You can put a lengthier review, press release, or background information on the back.

Create biographical sketches of information relevant to your book. For example, if your novel is set in a foreign city like Paris, or London, or St. Petersburg, Russia, and you lived there, include that information.

Interview yourself. Or, have another writer interview you. Write out the questions and answers. Keep that in your press kit.

Press Kit or Media Kit

VickiMTaylor — Thur, 14 Aug 2008 19:36:13 GMT

Press Kits or Media Kits

This leads into putting together a press kit

A press kit doesnt have to be anything more than a 2 pocket folder containing anything and everything about you and your book

You send it out to local newspapers, radio stations, magazines, and anyone else you think can help promote you and your book

Every sheet of paper in the press kit should have your name, phone number, and e-mail address. This way, if any of the papers get separated from the press kit, they can be easily identified.

Your letterhead should include the title, author name, publisher, price, page count, ISBN, URL, and contact information. use a PO box. Dont use your actual address be cautious. If you cant afford a PO box, see if you can go in on one with several authors.

Besides the press release, the press kit should contain:

A black & white (you can use color but it can get expensive and newspapers need black and white) photo of your (approx 5 x 7) not just any ol picture, either. A professional head shot. Check out the pictures of authors in books and on author websites.

It doesn't have to be expensive. If you have a friend who's a good photographer great. You can go to Glamour shots. They dont just do the boudoir shots, they do great professional shots. If you know of a reputable photo studio, work with them for professional shots. Get the rights to the photos you want to use for your book and on your website.

Other items to include in your Press Kit

Reviews
Sales information
Publisher information
Interview questions / answers
Announcements
Flyers from past book signings
Articles youve written
Schedule of future book signings/speaking engagements
Pitch letter (cover letter)
And, if you want to, any novelty item that ties into your book (for example, if your hero/heroine has a cat that features prominently in the story, (cozy mysteries) you can put in a cat shaped note pad)

Also put in your press kit any of the other promo items that you may have chosen to purchase or make

Pens/pencils
Bookmarks
Postcards
Business cards

DONT
Use annoying fonts
Use outrageous colors on the folder or the paper NO NEON

TIP make sure to convert everything you create for your press kit to HTML so you can put it on your website.

Give your press kit to local book stores & libraries
Contact the Friends of the Library and see if you can speak at the next meeting, donate a book

TIP travel on a regular basis? Check out the local libraries and book stores on your route. Stop and give them a press kit. You might be able to schedule a book signing at one of them! See if theyll stock your book or donate a book to the library.

About Mark Wirtz

caryn_bruer — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:38:43 GMT

For those of you who have missed reading the ever intriguing and often controversial posts of Mad Mark Wirtz (as I have), I want to bring you up to date on him.

He has moved to Tampa, Fla. (I think we already knew that) and is frequently seen at Side Splitters... a local comedy club, and is doing various other gigs. He underwent throat surgery a few months ago, which was a pretty traumatic ordeal. Thank goodness, he is well now and doing fine.

He says he is very busy.... is that new?... and trying to get caught up!

I know you guys join me in wishing Mark much happiness in his new home, success in his career, and above all else...good health.

2008 Wizards of Words Writers Conference

Fri & Sat, Oct 10 & 11 - Scottsdale AZ

Friday - Days Inn Scottsdale

Saturday - Chaparral Suites Scottsdale

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OCTOBER'S ALMOST HERE!

THE EXCITEMENT IS HIGH!

HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:

On FRIDAY, October 10 at the DAYS INN we've a full day of workshops:

David Rosenberg takes the morning slot from 8:30 a.m. to Noon teaching "Manuscript Development." (If you take a look at the conference schedule on our website, you can click on the names and read more about the authors listed here.)

Then at Noon it's lunch at the site of your choice, there are tons of cafes at Fashion Square - just a short walk down the block - and more in Old Town Scottsdale, you'll have plenty of time.

After lunch Penny C. Sansevieri starts off the afternoon with "From Book to Bestseller", followed by Caryn Bruer's "Becoming Margaret Mitchell", Astor Lane's "Craft and Craftiness Times Two", and Marilyn Meredith's "Bringing Your Characters to Life."

Then at 5:30 p.m. it's time for the Networking Happy Hour (no host, Dutch treat, whatever you want to call it) just down the street at the Chaparral Suites.

At 7:45 p.m. all those who wish, please meet us in the Chaparral Lobby to make the trek to the Comedy Spot for the 8 p.m. show. Fun, fun. This has become an annual tradition for us, topping off our first day of workshops with some laughs, although our WOW comic Mad Mark Wirtz will not be attending this year, sad to say.

On SATURDAY, October 11 at the Chaparral Suites we have a REALLY full day!

The morning starts off with Dennis Griffin's "Fact vs Hollywood: The Importance of doing Research", followed by Pat Fry's "Two Easy Steps to Publishing Success" (two workshops, back to back), Marilyn Meredith's "Setting as Character", Nancy McCurry's "How to Write a Good Story" and "How to Write a Good Novel" (back to back workshops), David Perada's "Mastering the Basic Elements of Fiction", and this time, Penny Sansevieri telling us how to create "Red Hot Internet Publicity."

Our Luncheon Speaker is Jerry Simmons and he's going to tell us "What Writers Need to Know About Publishing" from his book of the same title. Also the winners of the WOW Annual Short Story & Poetry Writing Contests will be announced and awarded if present. By the way, if you're a WOW member, send in your entries if you haven't already. The guidelines and information are on our website.

After lunch we have Robbi Hess giving a workshop about "Breaking into the Magazine Market", followed by David Rosenberg's "Technology and the Creative Writer."

THEN we have two expert panels fielding Q & A sessions, also author interviews with HarperCollins editors (fiction and non-fiction) and Terry Cooper of Iota Publishing of California. Reservations must be made in advance for the interviews, no walk-ins. Make your request when you send in your registration form, please, or send an email to WOW if you didn't.

At 7:00 p.m. we will enjoy a terrific keynote this year - David Morrell (NY Times best selling author, creator of "Rambo" in First Blood, and author of dozens of novels, his latest to be released in October.) He will be speaking to us about "Platforms, Viral Marketing and other Seismic Shifts in Modern Publishing."

Soooooooooooooo ... it's a fabulous lineup and we hope you will join us ... hurry up and register, for we only have room for 100 attendees on Friday and no more than 150 on Saturday. And do take advantage of the reduced rates before August 15.

SELL YOUR BOOKS IN THE WOW CONFERENCE BOOKSTORE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, bring your books or ship them ahead of time, and we'll log them into our bookstore at both venues, display them, and have them available for conference attendees to purchase. We tried it last year and our system worked. We will hold back $1 per book we sell for you, and will pay you the remainder at the end of the conference. So think about it, it's a good way to sell books.

ADVERTISE IN THE PROGRAM BOOKLET

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Advertise your books or product or business in the conference program book. It's a terrific way to promote yourself and your books ... the attendees take the program home with them, you know. So take a look at the particulars on our website and consider placing a full, half, or quarter-page ad.

WANT DISPLAY SPACE AT CONFERENCE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are a publisher, member of an writers' organization or group, or other writing related business, you're invited to display your wares and information at the conference. Just let us know what size table you'll need and the number of chairs.

If your helpers will be attending the conference, they'll need to pre-register. If they plan to attend the luncheon and banquet only, they'll need to send $$ in advance. The information is on the website on the To Register page.
