AtricleZine - Reality Check:Anyone Can Be a Published Author
You have lamented enough for your being a non home owner, its time to be cheerful and avail the unlimited rewards of unsecured tenant loans. Are you still suffering from dilemma? Well you can easily find lenders offering unsecured tenant loans at fair rates. Earlier while applying for any such loan option; you must be scared to falling in to the trap of dubious l
When I ghostwrite books for people, I put myself not only in the shoes of my client/author, but also in his or her head. I take on the literary personality of the client. I adopt their style of expression and speech patterns. The client for my ghostwriting services, of course, has the final say on what is written, how it is said, and how it will f
Like more people get to do every day, I work from my home office. As I look out my window on this cold, wet and quickly approaching snowy day, I’m reminded of how lucky I am. When I woke this morning I went through a similar routine as most; I shaved and showered and dressed and prepped myself for the day. I ate a little breakfast and instead of getting into m
The self-publishing industry has grown by leaps and bounds thanks to advances in digital printing, and of course the Internet as a promotional and sales tool. Like many other Internet-driven opportunities, the self-publishing field is fraught with hazards and wrapped in confusion.
These days, it's so easy; anyone and his or her uncle can be a published author. It has been possible for decades to publish your own book through the so-called "vanity press," which is all that the name implies. Vanity implies a kind of ego trip, and authors who took this route usually spent (and still spend!) many thousands of dollars only to see most of their 5,000 books rot in the garage.
Today you can self-publish only a few books at a time, thanks to digital printing, and promote your work on the Internet and through other marketing tools to see if it will catch on with the public. Or you can print a thousand books, or five or ten thousand, using reliable offset printing, and do the marketing and distribution yourself.
There are many options available, and the number (and the hype) grows every day. The first-time author is well-advised to do the research, do the math, do some serious comparison shopping. Familiarize yourself with the terms and buzzwords of the business.
You will need an editor (all writers do), and you may need a rewrite expert, or even a ghostwriter. A skilled ghostwriter can write the entire book for you, based on your words, ideas, and intentions.

What are you trying to say with you business card?We have talked about collecting other people's business cards and also about how they are often tough to differentiate from one another. These are things you should avoid for your own business card. It is easier to get into a conversation when you have a business card that speaks for itself. My card, BizMec

I am the daughter of an obsessed writer. My father, a math teacher by vocation, a writer by avocation, brought me up believing that writing is a fine passion and that the highlight of a writer’s life is being published. He gave me his love of the English language, great literature and great writers. He instructed me on the importance of realistic dialogue, creati

Every time I redesign a website I learn something new. Lately, I've been asking myself "Is a redesign worth it?". It takes time away from creating content, building relationships (links), etc.I've come to the conclusion there are three main reasons to redesign a website.1) UsabilityIf you surf the Net a lot or have visited Vincent Flanders'

For any business looking to trade worldwide, properly integrated logistical systems can mean the difference between roaring success and dismal failure. A successful business needs to understand the needs and wants of its target market, and crucially, it needs to be able to meet those demands quickly and effectively. It is here that logist

Once the final manuscript is agreed upon, the next steps are equally crucial: designing the book, selecting the cover art, writing the back cover text, and putting the whole package into some software format, such as Quark.
When it comes time to self-publish, I usually recommend some form of digital offset printing. Some people like Print On Demand (P.O.D.). I don't. It's too expensive, and the author doesn't really own the book because the P.O.D. firm has secured the ISBN number.
Once your book is self-published and in your hands, you will no doubt experience a feeling of incredible pride. But be realistic: The number of millionaire authors is rare. A book needs to generate sales of about 300,000 copies in order to make its author a millionaire.
But give it a try! If at first you don't succeed...
