1: EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK
------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Holidays! Welcome to the December 2009 newsletter for SelfPublishedAuthors.com. For those of you who are new to the website and newsletter, I hope you will enjoy this issue. Thank you for visiting the website and subscribing to the list. To the regulars out there, I'm glad you are back for another issue.

Can you believe 2010 is just around the corner? 2009 has been a very busy year for me. So much so that I am considering changing the release of this newsletter from bi-monthly to quarterly. I would really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this, so I have put up a poll on our website to find out how often you would like to see this newsletter be published.
http://www.selfpublishedauthors.com/frequency-poll

As a reminder, I am also open to guest reviews, interviews, and other articles. If you would be willing to donate your time, as I do, to this website and newsletter to provide more content, please contact me at editor@selfpublishedauthors.com.

If you'll forgive me one quick moment of self-promotion, which if you are a regular of this newsletter, you'll know I do not allow myself very often. I finally started production on the serialized audio podcast version of my novel, LILITH'S LOVE. If you are interested, as of right now, the first two episodes are online, plus an episode of out-takes from the recording. New episodes will be released bi-weekly at http://www.Liliths-Love.com/. Now you know just one reason why things are busy around here.

If you have questions, comments, suggestions, or if you'd like to contribute, be interviewed, add an event or have a request, please reply to this email, or drop a line to me at: editor@selfpublishedauthors.com.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the issue!

2: NEWSLETTER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
------------------------------------------------------------

The newsletter for SelfPublishedAuthors.com is here to provide a resource for all authors. Obviously, I want to help you succeed in your writing, self-publishing efforts, and self-promotion. I have received a few requests from fellow authors asking what they can do to promote their books in the newsletter.

I am always happy to help promote an author and their works in the newsletter. That's what we're here for. That being said, the best I can do is one of the following.

If you are interested in writing an article about your experiences as a self-published author, I would be more than happy to consider it for publication. If I publish the article, I will give you space for a signature box that you could use to promote yourself and your book.

If you would like me to review your book, or interview you for the newsletter, I would ask that you please query me first before sending an ARC copy of your book, eBook format preferred, or even better, an audio version. The last thing I want to do is build up a slush pile for reviews.

If you have a press release or other details about yourself and your book, do feel free to forward them to me and I will happily publish them in our Author's Showcase. These aren't reviews, rather they are spotlights, and you can send me your info anytime if you wish to be included. I will share one book and author per issue.

If you have a book signing coming up, we do try to list those when they are timely. Remember our newsletter is published in February, April, June, August, October, and December. If you host a class or workshop, or have a website that promotes a writer's resource, please let us know about it. All links about such events are provided free of charge. Your name, location, dates, and contact info. will be presented.

Currently there are places for you to list your books, websites, and even join our banner ad exchange. You can also feel free to post in our forums and tell us about yourself and your books.

3: FEATURE ARTICLE by Patricia Fry
Who Needs an Editor?
------------------------------------------------------------

Do you consider yourself a pretty good writer? Do you understand what makes for interesting, reader-friendly text? Can you tell a good story and/or write clear instructions?

If you're like many authors, you can write fairly legibly but you just aren't wired for the process of editing. You don't realize that you have developed some bad habits in your writing. You don't recognize all of your punctuation and grammatical mistakes. You may even miss the typos and computer-generated mistakes that have occurred throughout the process of writing.

The truth is that most authors need help when it comes to fine-tuning their manuscripts. More and more publishers require that authors hire a professional editor before submitting anything to them. And an unedited manuscript produced through a "self-publishing" company will surely die amidst the competition. If it gets any book reviews, they will not be favorable. Booksellers won't give it a second look. And readers will lose respect for an author who puts out a book that's full of blatant mistakes.

Hey, you're an author, not an editor. There is a difference, you know. I've edited manuscripts for some highly educated authors and journalism majors. Some of them were stuck in antiquity—before technology began to dictate certain editorial changes. Others simply had been fostering bad habits. And some just didn't know all of the tried and true rules of good writing, good grammar and proper punctuation.

How can you tell if you need an editor for your manuscript?

I suggest contacting an editor or two. Find out how much they charge for evaluating your manuscript. Some editors will run an occasional special for manuscript evaluation. Or they'll evaluate a portion of your manuscript for free. If they charge, it's generally around $50 or $100 to evaluate your first 25 or 40 pages, for example.

What kind of evaluation do you want? Would you like the editor's opinion as to whether your book is publishable? In this case, she would probably want to see the complete manuscript and the fee may be more like $250, depending on the size of your project.

Maybe you want the editor to look at your manuscript from an editorial standpoint. Does it need editing? What is the nature of the editing problems? Can she give you some examples showing how she would remedy these problems? What would she charge for editing your entire manuscript?

Of course, it would benefit you to learn what you can about self-editing book manuscripts in this digital age. For example, read pages 178-187 in my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book for a self-editing guide for authors. Basically, you'll want to watch for the following:
* Too many spaces between sentences. It is now one space after all punctuation.
* A dangling em dash. The em dash now connects the two words—it no longer dangles between them.
* The proper use of the apostrophe.
* The proper use of quotation marks and single quotes.
* Errors that your spell check missed.
* Muddy writing.
* Redundancies.
* Incorrect use of common words.
* Poorly organized story or nonfiction book.
* Inconsistency in your choices regarding spelling, capitalization, etc.
* Passive instead of active writing.
* Inconsistent and unreasonable voice and tense.
The more errors and problems you find while self-editing, indicates a greater need for an editor. If you are not aware of errors in your manuscript, this could mean that you are not wired to see them. Hire an editor—or get an editorial evaluation.

FICLY.COM - Creative writing website
Ficly is about creativity. Everyone can carve out fifteen minutes to either continue a story someone else has started, or start something of their own - something simple - two, maybe three paragraphs of a character, a plot or even just a place. That's the premise. We impose a limit of 1,024 characters because we think constraints are good. They make you choose your words more carefully. They also make it less daunting than starting at a never-ending blank screen in a word processor. All you have to do is write one kilobyte of something - something fictional. That's all.

5: CREATIVE CORNER by Randy Ingermanson
Your Characters Aren't You
------------------------------------------------------------

At least twice a month, I get a letter that runs roughly like this:

"Hi Randy:
I'm writing a novel about something horrible that happened in my life. Nobody would ever believe what those dirty rotten scoundrels did to me, so I'm making it a novel. It's gonna be great! The only question I have is what legal problems I'll face when they read my book. Can I get sued, even if it's all the exact truth? Do I have to change their names? I want them to suffer!

Sincerely,
Joe Wannawriteanovel"

Before you read on, think about that for a minute. How would you answer Joe? Can he get sued for telling the truth?

I usually begin my answer to this kind of e-mail by pointing out that I'm not a lawyer, and therefore nothing I say can be construed as legal advice. Then I say that, so far as I understand it, telling the truth is not libel, but it can be invasion of privacy. So even if a novel tells the absolute truth, the author might still be sued for making private details public.

I usually advise Joe to make a few eeny weeny changes: Change the names of the characters. Change their genders. Change their personal descriptions. Change their ethnic heritages. Change their personalities. Change the facts of the story so that nobody could possibly recognize the circumstances and guess that the people involved are friends or family of Joe. Change everything.

In short, write fiction.

In my view, the legal issues aren't really the biggest problem with writing a novel based on real people. The real problem is that real situations involving real people make really boring fiction.

In fiction, nothing is written in stone. If you need to edit a Gertrude into a Gary, then you must have the freedom to make that change. If you need to merge five fuzzy characters into two memorable ones, then you must feel free to merge. If your lead character needs a horrible seventh-grade experience involving a tarantula, a blindfold, and an icepick, then you have to be able to conjure up that memory.

You can't afford to hamstring your fiction with an inconvenient set of facts. If you base your novel on something that really happened, then every time you need to tweak your plot or characters, you'll hear a voice in the back of your head saying, "But it didn't happen that way."

Let's be honest. Fiction is about telling lies. Big, fat, hairy, prevaricating lies. If you want to write about the truth, or approximately the truth, or even something remotely approaching the truth, then the career you're looking for is called "Journalism." It's a fine career choice, but it isn't fiction.

Which leads me to another common question I hear. "Is it OK if I write a character that's really just me?"

That depends on what you mean by the word "OK." I doubt very much that you can sue yourself for libel or invasion of privacy if you write a character that is just you. (Again, I'm not a lawyer, so if you sue yourself and somehow win, then don't blame me.)

I see several problems with writing a character that is just you:

* You may not be quite as interesting as your lead character needs to be.
* If you buff up your character to be "you plus a little extra," you may wind up looking egotistical.
* If you add in some traumatic backstory that never happened, your friends and family might get upset.
* What will you do for an encore?

Let's unpack each of these in turn.

Fiction is about characters in conflict. The characters are often a bit larger than life -- in some cases, a LOT larger than life. Let's face it. Although we writers are a talented bunch, most all of us aren't quite as talented as the characters we create. We'd like to be, but we aren't. We can't afford to limit our characters to be no better than we are.

Suppose you write a lead character just like you in every way. Then, halfway through the novel, you realize that he needs to be quite a bit better than you are in some way. Maybe smarter. Maybe faster. Maybe cooler. Whatever. So you tweak him and finish the story and get it published. Now all your friends and family read the story and they see right away that your lead character is intended to be you. But they also see that he's smarter than you are, or faster, or cooler. Naturally, they're going to assume that you think you're smarter, faster, or cooler than you actually are. That makes you look like an egomaniac. Is that what you want?

Suppose you write a lead character just like you in every way. Halfway through the novel, you need to explain why your character is afraid of electricity. You decide to make it plausible by adding in some backstory about being shocked with a cattle prod by an unstable mother. Now you've got problems, because it's going to be "obvious" to everyone that your mother must have tortured you as a kid. If it's not true, your novel could be construed as libel. If it's true, your story could be considered invasion of privacy. Either way, your mother may just take you off her Christmas list.

Typically, publishers are interested in doing more than just one book with you. They invest quite a bit of money in developing an author, and it make take a few books to earn back that investment. Suppose you write a great novel in which your lead character is you. That's wonderful, but who'll play the starring role in your next book? You might be able to do a sequel that again features you as the lead. But can you keep that up forever? If not, then why get started down that road in the first place?

It's perfectly OK to inject a bit of yourself in your characters. In fact, I recommend it for every character, even your villains. Give each of your characters some little snippet of yourself, whether it's your tight-trigger temper or your obsession with stamps from Zimbabwe or your amazing skill at juggling buffalo chips.

You have plenty of interesting quirks and character traits to go around for every character you ever write. Your characters are like your children, and each of them should get some bit of your DNA.

My rule of thumb is that none of my characters should "inherit" more than about a third of their traits from me. I have no idea how much inheritance is too much, but I prefer to be cautious, so I try not to go over a third.

I've written several major characters who were physicists. Another was a software engineer, another an archaeologist, another a novelist. All of them shared a major interest with me. But I never thought of any of them as "me plus a little extra," because I've always started with somebody who was fundamentally different from me and then added chunks of myself. I think of my characters as "somebody I'd like to hang out with, because we have a major shared interest."

Now here are some questions you might want to consider for the novel you're working on right now:

* How much does your lead character resemble you? Will your readers wonder if that character is secretly you? Is it possible that this character is more nearly your clone than your child? Does your character have some trait that makes it clear that he or she can't possibly be you?

* How much of your DNA does your villain inherit? Is there nothing in your villain that you can relate to? Is it possible that you might be better able to empathize with your villain by giving him or her some valued trait of yours?

Fiction is a pack of lies that masquerades as truth. Don't risk spoiling your carefully crafted lies with too much truth -- or with too little.

8: AUTHOR SHOWCASE
P.G. Holyfield author of MURDER AT AVEDON HILL
------------------------------------------------------------

P.G. Holyfield is the author of the free serialized podcast novel, "Murder at Avedon Hill", which is an epic high fantasy murder mystery. And I do mean epic, or as Evo Terra infamously dubbed it, "the podiobook that never ends." On May 21, 2009 after 42 episodes, "Murder at Avedon Hill" did finally wrap production. Not only was this story epic in scope and scale, but the sheer number of over 45 talented voice actors from many podcasts also lends to this grand tale.

"Murder at Avedon Hill" began its life in 2003 when P.G. started working on a gaming module for BioWare's Neverwinter Nights, which is a licensed D&D video game. When the module itself did not become a reality, P.G. took the story ideas and non-player characters and created an interactive story that he shared with the Neverwinter Vault fan website. He posted chapters on a bi-weekly basis, about 23 chapters at the time, and ended each chapter with either a question or cliffhanger. He made the story interactive by getting input from the readers, not with a standard polling booth feature, but with a betting system for readers to bet on what would happen next.

Eventually, P.G. took all of the source material and crafted a manuscript for a novel, which he did shop around to some publishers. The cross-genre nature of the work meant that no one was interested at the time. He discovered Lulu.com and used their print-on-demand services to self-publish "Murder at Avedon Hill" as a paperback novel. Then along came podcasting.

On June 13th, 2007, chapter one went live at MurderAtAvedonHill.com and introduced us all to the Land of Caern. "Murder at Avedon Hill" has been described as "Brotherhood of the Wolf" meets "The Name of the Rose" or as Agatha Christie meets J.R.R. Tolkien. In the story, we follow Arames Kragen, an Aarronic Advisor, and his student, Arrin Perti, as they make their way to Avedon Hill.

Arames is a retired monk of the Aarronic Order, a brotherhood that has served the Land of Caern for centuries. He once served as an Aarronic Advisor to the Prince of Yew, Renoir Perti. Now, as a favor for Arrin's mother, Arames has taken Arrin on as a student. They are en route to a conference and need to use the Olviaran Pass which starts in Avedon Hill to shorten their trip to Northern Grozh.

However, upon arriving at Avedon Hill, they discover that Lord Avedon has closed off access to not only the Olviaran Pass but also the town of Avedon Hill itself. At the town's gates, they meet Cletus, the gatekeeper, who explains that Lord Avedon has done this because the manor's Housemistress, Gretta Platt, has been murdered. No one is allowed to enter Avedon Hill, not only for the sake of the ongoing investigation, but also while he is in mourning.

Undeterred, Arames offers to help with the investigation, hoping that by solving the mystery he can convince Lord Avedon to open the Olviaran Pass for them. However, once inside the gates, and the investigation begins, Arames and Arrin learn that there are many mysteries within Avedon Hill. Not the least of which is determining whether or not a vampire is responsible for killing Gretta Platt.

For in the Land of Caern, we do find vampires and their masters, moonbeasts and their ilk, and the Children of Az. Az is the father of the gods, and his Children are the deities who can enter the Land of Caern under certain Constraints and live out their own lives, and affect the world they live in.

It will take all of Arames' knowledge of prophecy, myth and legend, and his skills as an advisor, as well as his abilities to work with the "river of magic" that flows all around the Land of Caern, to learn all of the secrets of Avedon Hill. At the same time, Arrin learns more about himself, his gifts passed down from his mother, and discovers what he'll have to face as he and his mentor solve the mystery.

For the podcast production, P.G. himself gave the narration and also provided the voices of Arames, Arrin, Cletus, Cousin Red, and Ollus Wenk. The story has a very large Dramatis personae so P.G. enlisted the help of a fine cast of voice actors from around the world of podcasting. Moreover, you can find that P.G. has given voice to characters in other podcasts as well.

His current project is a short fiction anthology podcast set in the Land of Caern. This new anthology, "Tales of The Children", began on 09/09/09, and features his stories as well as others from many of his fellow podcasters.

Due to the success of the podcast, "Murder at Avedon Hill" has been picked up to be published by Dragon Moon Press, and is expected to be released in early 2010. P.G. is hard at work on editing right now for this release.

I want to wish P.G. Holyfield all the best with his future projects, and I look forward to adding a print copy of "Murder at Avedon Hill" from Dragon Moon Press to my collection of books by authors I've discovered through podcasting.

9: COMMENTARY by Judy Cullins
Make Money Publishing Books Online - Or Not!
------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe you're interested in internet self publishing, self publishing cookbooks, self publishing Christian books, or self publishing POD (Print on Demand) books.

As a long time bookcoach, I know that if you compare self publishing to New York publishing, you'll see the deck is stacked in your favor with independent publishing.

Pros and Cons of Self Publishing--Which author are you?

1. The Cruise Ship Package Author. You, the emerging author of fiction or self help book, knows you can't get an agent or publisher, so you turn to Print on Demand printing companies, who you think can do it all for you. For example, format your book into a 6 by 9 paperback. Then, print copies as you need them. Know that their book promotion packages don't give you what you need. POD companies charge little on the front end, but over price your book and overcharge for your wholesale copies too. They make money. The author doesn't.

2. The I Wanna Be an Oprah Author. You, the unknown author, want to be rich and famous. You want to be a bestselling author and you copycat gurus and mentors out there thinking you must write like them to be respected. That means you will only want to write a 250 page print book that will bring prestige to your small business. You see your book as #1 in Amazon, you on Oprah and other big shows. You think how lucky you will be when a big publisher wants your book after your first year terrific sales of 20,000!

Think again. These businesses accept 1-2% of the top submissions. Unless you are famous, you will miss out and spend a lot of time and money trying to get their attention.

Check with other authors whose publishing adventure went south. Know that even if you get on the shows, you don't get a guarantee of selling books. In two years, one client went broke getting ready for Dr. Phil's show (printed 20,000 books) and when he got on, he didn't have enough money to write a good sales page for Phil's Web site that was only up two weeks.

3. A female business owner or other small business specialist. You want to either get out short information products and love the internet, or are stuck in the past thinking only a print book will do. Take it from me, you can, with little self publishing help, put out a shorter eBook version first to test the market and improve your book from your audience's feedback an testimonials. You'll get high visibility, and, at the same time, brand your business and profit from business.

Wake Up Call: No one out there will do it all for you anyway, so you just need to take the next step and learn more about promoting, distributing and internet marketing.

4. An open-minded savvy person who knows there are multiple ways to write and publish a saleable book. You can leverage your success writing a print and eBook, and learn how to connect with the huge, online audience, ready to buy books conveniently, and who will love your book.

You don't have to publish the slow, hard, way with no control over your book. Educate yourself on self-publishing and its rewards that give many an author/business person like myself a healthy income. We may not be famous, but we love building trust in clients an those big book sales.

------------------------------------------------------------

GoodEREADER.com - Has Launched a new E-Commerce Website and Blog for Popular E-Readers

Are you looking for an affordable Electronic Reader such as the Kindle 2, Kindle DX or the Barnes and Noble Nook? GoodEreader has a large supply of these and they would like to welcome new customers.

(PRWEB) November 30, 2009 -- With the holidays quickly approaching everything is looking for that "must have" gift for themselves or a special loved one. The most popular technology gift this year, is not a new mobile phone which everyone already has, but is for the reader of the family, an Electronic E-Reader.

With the advent of touch screen technology being the norm, and the fact that physical books are becoming more and more expensive, a long term gift that will save you money is an E-Reader.

There are many popular E-Readers that are sweeping the market right now, and GoodEreader is proud to have them all in stock, they are the Kindle DX, Kindle 2 and Barnes and Noble Nook.

The Barnes and Noble Nook has only been on the market a few short weeks, and has already sold out all of their units, this means, that it is nearly impossible to find this great unit anywhere, GoodEreader has over 100 units currently in stock. This item is quickly becoming THE gift for the holidays if you are lucky to get one.

The Nook, billed as the first Android-powered e-book reader, features not only a 6-inch E-ink screen but a color touch screen that allows you to navigate content and also can turn into a virtual keyboard for searches. At launch, no separate Android apps will run on the device, but Barnes & Noble says that one of the reasons it chose Android to power the Nook is because it's an open platform with a large developer community and that future apps are a possibility.

Like the Kindle, the Nook has a built-in 3G wireless connection (AT&T is the carrier) and a dictionary. However, the Nook also packs in Wi-Fi connectivity and a memory expansion slot--you get 2GB of internal memory, but can add up to a 16GB micro SD card. It also features a Dual Color Touch Screen and the ability to play audio books.

The Kindle DX is also being billed as one of the most popular gifts for the Christmas season. It features a near 10 inch screen, that can be flipped over to landscape mode, much like Apples I-PHONE. The DX also features a built-in QWERTY keyboard for taking notes, entering search terms when wirelessly accessing the Kindle Store, and typing out URLs in the rudimentary Web browser. Like the Kindle 2, the DX's rechargeable battery is sealed into the unit (read: no removable) and delivers about two weeks of battery life if you use the built-in 3G wireless data connection judiciously.

GoodEreader is proud to be serving their customers with the latest Electronic Readers just in time for the holidays. If you are looking for the Sold Out NOOK they seem to have many in stock and are getting new shipments all of the time. Their prices for the Kindle DX is also outstanding at $399.99.

In the New Year, GoodEreader will be opening a Retail Location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Stay informed by visiting their website Goodereader.
