"Those who wish to know more about the publishing industry can greatly benefit also from the advice and anecdotes of the . . . four authors, as they also have a lot to share."
Ilona Hegedus, editor of European Reader

~

"...the authors share excellent anecdotal information concerning branding yourself as an author rather than just by book title, Web site activity results after author marketing events, and other pertinent book promotion tips. The beneficial information is in an easy-to-understand format with voice clarity and professionalism.

Tip

When I turned from journalism and other nonfiction writing to my first novel, I thought I would have no trouble with that art form. After all, I had been an English Lit major and read more novels than anyone should ever be required to read. I was wrong. I needed to go back and relearn as if it were a complete separate artform. Since then I've noticed many others who would have benefit from some relearning. Thus the Audio Divas include many one-hour segments on the craft of writing. I also suggest classes taught through college extension divisions -- particularly those with writing departments. The reason? There is way too much misinformation circulating on the elements of fiction!
