Best Advertisement for Your Writing Is Your Writing
"The best advertisement for your writing is your writing. Write a book that people want to read. Then another. Then another. Keep at it until the world can't ignore you anymore."
A Good Book Is a Good Book
"I do believe that making one's book free remains an effective way to reach new readers who might not otherwise take a chance on your book. I've had a number of positive reviews from readers who said they liked my book but would never have downloaded if it weren't free. I do not agree with the argument that an author who makes his book free is inviting bad reviews from those readers who are trying a novel that is not in their preferred genre and may be less inclined to like it. I believe a good book is a good book, and anything you can do to attract a new reader is worthwhile."
Write the Next Book
"While running your own publishing business can certainly take quite a bit of time and energy, never forget that writing your next book is the very best way to spend the bulk of your time. Whether you are self-publishing or working with a traditional publisher, the best way you will ever connect with both your current—and future—readers is by writing and releasing your next book. And then the next. And then the next. And then the next."
Be Uniquely You
"There are too many people trying to sound like someone else. Be uniquely you, and your work will always find a home."
Rise to the Challenge
"I like to believe that my readers are as smart as the writers I hang out with, and they will rise to the challenge. We teach our readers how to read our books in the first paragraph, in the first word. We set up a contract with them."
