Cheers both I only have the one book at the moment so may do some shopping around Thanks for the advice

Hi All, Another newbie promotional question - has anyone here had any success with the packages on this site? As usual I'm looking around for ways to promote my book and as usual, I'm making it up as I go. I'm willing to spend some money but obviously I don't want to chuck it away if...

Hi All, Does anyone else use Latest Works | Lenka's List ? It looks a simple enough (and free) way to promote your work but the old 'if it looks too good to be true it probably is' adage springs to mind and I figured I should ask some more experienced folk before giving my details to the...

Cheers both - I'll be honest, money is a serious factor and for all the reading up I'm trying to do I'm still very much a beginner at this publicity lark. My logic was to give a go at this, see what sort of result it leads to (if any) and if it ends up not working for me then at least I've not...

Hi All, Quick question - has anybody here used Raven Publicity and what do you think of it? Prices seem pretty reasonable but then I've only got a vague idea what is and isn't good value. Any thoughts/experiences? Cheers

I really like the look of this - simple and straightforward but still very nice!

No idea if this is the right place to post this but I'm feeling smug that I finally got this done: My first ever book (the aforementioned Wildcat) is now done, edited, uploaded and finally available on amazon! Not a lot else to say except that this is cool - and if you want to check...

How about a dragon that's been raised among cats? Best of both worlds.

In the Welsh I know (South) we don't have a commonly used word for limb and would say braich or coes for arm or leg (Google says aelod can be used but that's not really in common usage and I would find it unusual). Gwan is indeed weak and gwanhau makes sense for weakening. 'Mae'r planhigyn...

hmmm - some interesting points. I sometimes think I'm guilty of overloading my fights with information (I'm a martial arts obsessive and unfortunately so are most of my friends/proof-readers so when I fill a fight with technical details they don't find it dull or confusing because they're into...

As long as it's tastefully done I don't think it matters. David Gemmell has done it at least twice to my knowledge where he's had a protagonist starting as a child and then had sex scenes with them in their adolescence/adulthood (Connovar in the Rigante Books and Parmenion in Lion of Macedon)...

Hello, I don't really count as a proper author yet since my first book won't be out for another month but I'll happily put a link to your site on mine if you're happy to return the favour? cheers James

Hi, I mean self published but for a paper book - presumably if I'm starting a new thread it'd still belong in this section of the forum? (I'm one of those annoying people who don't really understand the internet!) thanks!

Stupid question, but the Kboards site seems to say it's all about Kindle stuff - is it a place that can advise people on old fashioned paper books as well (closing in on getting my first one out and am also pretty clueless about this stuff!)?

Thanks - am looking into it even now!
