A
brief history of
Release Your
Writing: Book Publishing Your Way
Yes, Release
Your Writing: Book Publishing Your Way is out. Six months
from concept to publication! That's the benefit of self-publishing.
While I was formulating ideas for a sequel to Computer Ease,
as a book tentatively titled Computer Ease for Writers,
I collected material, and wrote an outline, but knew something was
lacking.
In March 2007, I gave a presentation to Off-Campus Writers Workshop, (OCWW.bizland.com) and I titled
my talk "Release Your Writing." As soon as I entered the room,
connected my laptop to the projector, and saw that title on the screen,
I knew I had the book's focus. A few weeks later, at the American
Society of Journalists & Authors (ASJA)
conference in New York, there was a palpable
excitement over self-publishing: with packed sessions on the topic,
self-publishing firms attending, and self-published authors on panels.
So, I went up to my hotel room during lunch and bought the domain name
www.releaseyourwriting.com. Now I'm pleased the book is available for
all. This is it: One book that explains options in publishing,
technical aspects of coping with technology, dozens of shortcuts to
write better and faster with your computer, and an entire section on
book marketing, targeted specifically to those of us who do not have
agents, marketers, and publicists steering our books toward an audience.
Keeping a book alive is very much an author's responsibility these
days. Release Your Writing shows you how to
do it, and how to have fun along the way. Enjoy your journey!
