Writer's Corner (notes) www.silvaredigonda.myshopify.com

I have been ignoring my books - Colpa Mia. Let’s take a break from what is happening in the world and talk books. What I do when I complete writing my book is mail it via registered mail to myself. I do this so if any company claims the book is theirs, I have proof that I had it before they got their hands on it. Or you can copy write it. People like spending less. Bundle is appealing to promote your book. Doing events, book signing, hair salons, dog salons, book clubs is to name some. Book clubs like questions (my bad. I have no questions.) Facebook (minimum). It is hard to set ourselves apart. Hard covers are 2 1/2 more costly and not practical. You should be making at least a dollar a book profit. Market local book stores, local libraries, local colleges. Take note that if you have a contract that states "make available to bookstores"

, it means catalogue only (not physically). Don’t be fooled by language. Make sure you keep rights to your book. Under traditional publishers you retain rights. Regarding editors - pick three at once because there are time lines for editors. Check your budget. Some charge pages, or paragraphs etc….Pick someone who cares about your project. Many books that are very good, never become successful, because there are so many books. There are so many scams out there. You must have a contract. What are they delivering?
