When a Book Costs Less Than a Drink… I will admit it straight from the off! I am a writer with an axe to grind and I cannot understand people who complain that books are too expensive. Most books, in the form of ebooks, cost less than the price of a drink! My ebooks cost

Marketing Your Artwork Marketing, advertising, promoting, publicising… it’s all basically the same thing, ie getting the word out there that you have something fantastic to sell. So, where do you begin? This may sound odd, but you should begin before you have anything to sell. Let’s say you’re a writer, like I am. You could

The Reviews of Books on Amazon I have been with Amazon for a relatively very long time – since a few weeks after it started, I think, but I can’t help thinking the the people at the top – the ones running the firm (that might not include Jeff Bezos, the guy who set it up) are

Pirated eBooks – Writers There seems to be two schools of though amongst writers concerning pirated ebooks: those who think it’s a good thing or irrelevant and those who would have pirates walk the plank. I am in the latter group after discovering that one site was claiming to have given away 1,755 copies of
Editing Tips For Indie Writers
This article is about Indie Writers, which stands for Independent Writers. I am one of those Indie Writers, and love the profession 🙂
Kindle vs Book
Kindle vs Book If you are an avid reader, I am sure that you have heard of Amazon and its electronic book device called the Amazon Kindle? So, what are the pros and cons of the Kindle vs book? There is a problem with the amount of trees we use for paper and this has
NaNoWriMo 2015
NaNoWriMo 2015 Are you aware of NaNoWriMo 2015? I imagine that if you are not a writer then you are probably not. However, NaNoWriMo 2015 is very important to the world at large and to many, about twenty-five thousand people individually every year. NaNoWriMo 2015 takes place in November and stands for ‘National November Writing
Starting a New Novel
Starting a New Novel I have been thinking of starting a new novel for a while now, because I feel at a loose end unless I’m writing. That’s why I bombard my regular readers with posts like this every day. The truth is that I have been looking for a subject for a month, while
Site Overview Update
Site Overview Update: August 11 2015: Megan Publishing Services Quite a lot has been happening at Megan Publishing Services over the last few days culminating in the following changes. Today, I want to report in this Site Overview Update that I finished: 1] transferring dozens of pages of useful information over from the now defunct site:
Progress
Progress The concrete boys were back today and surprised me yet again. Instead of just laying storm-water drainage, they are resurfacing the road (lane) to a depth of five or six inches with reinforced concrete. Now that’s what I call progress since no more than five residents own cars. It just goes to support the
Pitching A Book
Pitching A Book I’ve just been pitching my book to a literary agent, like I’ve been talking about for a while, so I’m full of hope that this will be a big turning point in my career as a writer. I have submitted to agents before, but only half-heartedly, not that I realised that it
Luxury
Luxury If buying books is a luxury, which it probably is, then the USA is doing far better than the UK, no matter what Cameron says. For the last six months, Americans have been buying more of my books every month and Brits fewer. Now, in June 2015, American sales of my books are at
Mental Cruelty
Mental Cruelty I have turned my attention away from ‘Asian Shorts’ temporarily, because it is ‘out there’ already and my novel isn’t. Not only that but 2,000-odd links on my websites will stop working on July 15th. thanks to Amazon and that would be a catastrophe. I have to start tackling that problem tomorrow. Mental
First Edition of Asian Shorts
First Edition of Asian Shorts I am inordinately proud to announce that the first edition of ‘Asian Shorts’ will be available as from tomorrow, June 18th – Yay! On the negative side first, it is only 74.4% (see update below) of the length that I wanted it to be, but perhaps I was over-ambitious in
Final Chapter
The Final Chapter I am finally on the final chapter of that book I told you I was starting, which is why I haven’t posted for a long time. The story flowed easily from my subconscious, or wherever, to my finger tips and thence to my hard drive. I had predicted to myself that it
