Calling All Bloggers to a Wonderful Reference Guide!


So You Want to Write a Guest Blog Post an Author’s Guide to Promoting with Guest Blogging by Jaime McDougall

 
I won this book through a giveaway on Librarything.com.  I like other bloggers are looking for references that can improve our blogs and our writing.  While this book is written more for authors who do need the help especially now with the expectation of not only promoting their own work but becoming socially adept online.  Many publishers now have technology pages for authors as references.  So this book is a great added reference to the websites mentioned above.

Here are some of the topics covered in the book.  Why write a guest post?  Why is this important in marketing your work? Another topic is how to write a guest blog post.   The author gives suggestions from the length of the post to topics that can be subjects for guest posts.    She focuses a great deal on how to research blogs to find the right one to meet your needs.
My Thoughts:
Like I side before this book is written more for authors, but I found it a great reference for bloggers too.   Bloggers need to know what blog tour coordinators are looking for in their blogs and resources to also help promote their blogs.   Then they can be sure to meet the author’s needs.   Authors can then use this resource to find us and work as a team to promote their work.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
