Sponsor Spotlight: FirstEditing
Every author needs an editor. No matter what you’re writing, no matter how great your prose is, having an editor is a must. But hiring an editor can be complicated. Where do you find one? How do you figure out a working relationship? How do you know they really know...

Amazon A+ Content for Authors
2021 has been a huge year for changes at Amazon for authors. We’re all still feeling our way around Kindle Vella, and now they’re rolling out the new-to-us Amazon A+ Content program. It’s all part of some changes that should help authors – especially indie authors – boost their bottom line and have a lot more control over their presence and revenue streams on the site. Let's explore what's available with Amazon A+ Content for Authors.
Using Podcasts to Market Your Book
My friend Amber hated public speaking. She’d written a great nonfiction book that was ready to launch her coaching business to the next level, and she wanted to get out there to support the book launch.

Substack for Authors
Substack is simply an email list platform, but it’s built specifically as a monetized subscription model. It has all the traditional things a decent email platform has – analytics, list management tools. And yes, you can have a free newsletter on Substack. But the model is built to make taking payment easier.
