51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist
We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.
Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.
- Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
- Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
- Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
- Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
- Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
- Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
- Podcast your book, one section at a time.
- Write about trends in your genre.
- Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

Do you have a country or town that just doesn't show up on regular maps? Have a literary favorite place? We'd love to hear about it at the Takau Ministry of Culture.

“I don’t just want it, I NEED IT!”
Have you ever come across ‘something’, pointed and shouted… “I’VE GOT TO HAVE THAT”!?!
Book Bags, Recyclable Tote Bags, Bible Holders, Purses, Passport Holders, Recipe Boxes…ALL specially designed from case-wrap hardcover books. Just way too cool! The front and back side of the book are the sides of the bag/holder and the spine of the book lines the external bottom.
From a distance, the bag or holder is an exact replica of the book. Your choice of custom crafted handles makes this bag/purse an attractive promotional tool that will give your book the massive exposure it deserves.
What an awesome idea for a gift, prize, and personal collection. What an innovative fashion statement that others will spot and desire to copy.
Just think, soon, all viewers will want one too. Now can you picture the success of this marketing tool that will now lift you even higher in your promotional platform? Click HERE to read more.

Please help me with your votes. My book Insufficient Mating Material is in a social networking contest (which means that authors are required to ask for votes, but only for the cover art, title, and blurb, which are all on the contest page)

Does anyone here know of a site similar to Firstwriter.com where a publisher can be listed as we are currently seeking new authors.

I have had two copyright infringement suits. Both were settled in my favor.

Ms. Vickery's comment about copyright protection is dead wrong/ In order to sue for infringement you must have a registration with the U.S. Copyright Office. Without this you have no standing and cannot sue and you cannot sue on these issues in any other court. If you cannot sue, what protection do you have? None.

Hi All,
My attorney, my previous agent, and my current publisher all insist that in lieu of an official copyright, I make a hard copy or disk copy of my original manuscript (before edits or revisions) and mail it to myself from the nearest post office. Once it arrives it is to be stored unopened. This is my copyright and will stand up in a court of law within the USA. Have no idea about other countries. Hope this helps answer the questions.
