I want to know where I can buy a case of this product! It can change the world.

Might even change your Thanksgiving meal time next week (for those in the U.S.).

And honey, if you are watching this, I am not “Harold Weathers.” I’m just a little hard of hearing.

Judging a Book by Its Cover

We’ve heard the cliche “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” True. But you do “buy a book by its cover.” We all do. That colorful billboard attracts the eye, disseminates information, and sells the content. Even when the billboard is the size of a postage stamp on Amazon.com, BN.com, or iTunes, you make a judgment on the quality of the book based on its cover. It …

Today is a special day in the United States where we honor our veterans. It is our opportunity to thank and celebrate all those who have served our country in military service. Thank you for your service! In 2021, Andrew Budek-Schmeisser posted these great words, and we are reposting them with his permission. They are perfect for this day: They did not have deferments,or parents in high places,yet …

Why Can’t I Find My New Book in My Local Bookstore?

Some might think this question is silly and antiquated since we know that 100% of all books are sold by Amazon and that no one buys physical books any more, and least of all in physical bookstores. Why? Because there aren’t any more bookstores! They have all closed. But wait. Even if a publisher attributes 50% of their total physical book sales to Amazon, we cannot ignore the other 50%! But …

Why Does It Take Editors and Agents So Long to Read My Proposal?

Recently, a writer posted this question: I submitted a proposal to a publisher 6 months ago. The guidelines said that a response would be provided at the end of 4 months. At the end of 5 months I sent an email query to confirm that they had actually received the submission–still no response. Now I am at the end of 6 months.…Do I give up? I wish I had a magic wand to solve this problem for …

Wells You editor is someone with a special skill set. One that is often described as being intrusive, overbearing, heavy-handed, and just …
