eBook Cards Could be a Game Changer

Posted on by

Ever since I attended my first convention as a published author, I’ve wanted eBook cards. I’ve known that, as an author talking to my readers directly, eBook cards will allow me to sell more books. But, what is an eBook card, you may ask. Simply put, an eBook card is a physical means to sell eBooks in various formats. The first cards I came across were the size of a postcard, had the book’s cover art on the front, the book blurb on the back with a one-time code to use on a provided website. The one-time code and website would allow the purchaser to download the book in whatever format(s) was/were provided. The most recent ones are the size […]

Get Published Episode 118 – Veronica Giguere Talks Audio Books

Back in the Short Story Saddle

Posted on by

It is always an internal conflict for me whether to write short fiction or simply focus on novel-length work. On the one hand, short fiction can expose me to new audiences and on the other, it pulls me away from my novel-length work. There are other reasons to write short fiction, of course. Short fiction gives a writer the opportunity to try new genres, settings, characters and so on without having to commit to the lengthy novel work. That’s a great thing if you’ve always wanted to try your hand at noir but don’t really know what you would do with a noir-style novel if you did write one. At any rate, I was asked by not one, but two […]
