The New Publishing Paradigm
As a writer who has been published by houses like Doubleday, Hay House and Harper San Francisco in my non-fiction life, and who has constantly been told, "You're a wonderful writer, why don't you write a different book?" in my fiction life - I am pleased to announce that none of us needs an agent or a publisher any more. It's the most wonderful, most liberating thing that has ever happened to writers since the invention of the home computer.

My Editing Lesson - Using Smashwords
I had a question. How do I post by new novel "Tranquillity Initiative" as an ebook for ipad and nook? I Googled the question and discovered Smashwords. Smashwords is a free program that allows writers to put their books up on ipad, nook, Sony and many other epub sites - not on Kindle as of this minute. Smashwords has directions for preparing your document in Micrsoft Word. For me, this has been a lesson that has set the standard for all future submissions - whether to a book publisher or an e-publisher. I learned a great deal about working with Word that I had not known before.

Should You Outline Your Book First?
Suzy Prudden and I have written books without complete outlines and we have written books with complete outlines. I can assure you that working from a comprehensive outline that you and the publisher and editor have agreed on before hand is better than working from a verbal agreement with no outline. A good outline guides you. It lets the publisher know exactly what you’re going to do before the fact, so there is no chance of a misunderstanding that could cost you your advance. Without an outline you can go completely off course in your writing. I speak from vast experience.

ISBN Numbers and Bar Codes
If you self-publish and e-publish you may have to get your own ISBN number in order to place your product in a store or an on-line store. If you do, here is what they are and where to get them. The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique, numerical commercial book identification number. When you publish a paper book it must have an ISBN number and a related barcode on the back if you intend to place it on Amazon.com or in bookstores. If you publish an ebook ISBN numbers are only required on sites like Sony and IPad and barcodes are not need at all.

How To Use Cars (and other forms of transportation) To Enhance Character Development.
I started writing my book "What Car Would Hamlet Drive? 2000 questions to ask fictional characters for students, actors, writers and readers of fiction" because I had a very hard time making small talk at social events. As a writer,I feared I might have as much difficulty thinking up things to ask fictional characters.
