Oh gawd. That's me this entire week!

It's glorious! Your own bed and the 4 leggeds that missed you.

Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.

—François de La Rochefoucauld

One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.

—Carly Simon

Why is visibility important for authors?

Authors with higher visibility tend to have better book sales.

When readers are familiar with an author's name and work, they are more likely to purchase their books.

You have your website, your social media accounts, and a new book with a release date. The hard part is done, right? Nope! Now it’s time to work on making digital connections with your readers, author.

Promote Your Uniqueness what makes an author unique, what makes an author stand out, what makes an author different than the next

Promote Your Uniqueness

One of the greatest things about you, author, is that you are one-of-a-kind. There is no one else like you on this planet, and there is no one who does things quite like you do.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

—Khalil Gibran

Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Success is not in never failing, but rising everytime you fall.

—Jonathan Taylor Thomas

“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray,
Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books.”

- Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

“McIntosh admirably declares what we should already know about memoir: the best of them erase the self in the name of something more profound. Here that something is an unsentimental kindness for the world of literature.”
