  • Writing Exercise 4: A Space Alien Might Make A Good Priest  By : Jenny Harker

  • Building A Rock Solid Query Letter  By : Sophfronia Scott
    Recently I reviewed a client's query letter. It was a hard working query letter, detailing the marketing prospects for the book, her own glowing credentials and the contacts she possessed that would help her publicize the book.

What a different look for our home when we added on to the foundatio...

  • Private Label Rights and eBooks. What You Need To Know.  By : John Thornhill
    The online eBook marketplace has usually been stocked with titles written by authors who then made resell rights available to those who hoped to profitably offer the book for sale (or, as is often the case with eBay, auction).
