In the spirit of sharing with other authors, each page
of this website will contain a tip intended to help authors write or promote
better.
Tips
Learn from professionals. Authors can be involved actively
or passively. These organizations will give as much as you
are willing to give. As an example, AC founder Carolyn
Howard-Johnson contributes sporadically to "Span
Connection," SPAN's monthly print newsletter. That's
networking! That's outreach!
Also, many of these organizations offer reciprocal
discounts--join one and get the second for a lesser price.
Find tips on writing, promotion or
tech on every page of this website.
