Writing Contests

I am interested in finding out about writing contests for self-published authors. I'm sure they are around, at least I hope so. There are so many authors having to self-publish these days. That is, if they ever want to see their work in print. It is almost impossible to find a traditional publisher to even look at your work unless you are an established author, and you cannot become established without getting published. There are so many good writers that will go to the wayside because they… Continue

'OLD SILLY' REVIEWS SACRED ROTA

http://theoldsilly.com/



About two, maybe three years ago I read Waking God, by Philip F. Harris and Brian L. Doe. I was instantly drawn into the world they created, which, is really our world – this world, except seen through the eyes that most do not look through. The vision seen when the veil of deceit and insidious religious dogma, put in place nearly two thousand years ago by the organized church for political and power… Continue

Web Novels

I was wondering if anyone had thought about doing a web novel to go along with their books or published stories for marketing. I'm thinking about doing something like this, but wondered what everyone thought.

Thanks,

How many people actually like to read poetry?

The other day I was meeting with members of my marketing team to discuss a poetry contest we are currently planning. When trying to figure out what sort of submissions we would be accepting, someone brought up the point that they do not want to read poetry submissions and stated, "Why would I want to read someone elses's when I write my own?"

Interesting to say the least.

While, we have decided what sort of submissions we will accept, it brings up an interesting discussion-How many of… Continue

Opportunites for Savvy Publishers

In the 20th Century, the American book market grew to be the world’s largest (with over 33% of total books sold) because of superior titles. From Fitzgerald and Hemingway to Kerouac to Tom Peters, publishers produced new titles so compelling that readers had to have them. In the decade of the 2000s, however, more and more books were published (thanks to POD and short-run, digital printing) and quality was negatively impacted. In 2008, over 400,000 new titles were introduced—many of them were… Continue

Poem: Prone to Error

Challenges in Life are meant to be,

assisting us to reach maturity.

For our reaction to circumstance

marks personal growth beyond luck and chance.

Proven is our ability to learn,

expanding mental constraints as hearts burn.

Walking in upright, godly perfection

complements Jehovah's desire for Man's compassion.

The lasting goal is surely not religious fervor,

but moving past our fallen state of being...

Prone to error.
