The Business of Writing

Dear Christian Indies,

We’ve been talking about writing books for quite a while now, and while we’re having fun lately delving into some of the ways to market and advertise your books, we feel it’s important to remember there are some out there brand new to the writing game. This was brought to my attention recently when someone I know said to me, “I’ve considered writing a book, but I just don’t know where to begin!”

Dear Indie,

This week, we’re discussing giving away your novel for free.

Now, you’re likely thinking, “why would I give something I’ve poured my heart and soul (and possibly a good bit of money into) away for free?” The idea might seem preposterous, and certainly might raise the eyebrow of those whose names are also on your checking account, who have to date been assured that you’d be reaping the harvest of the financial and time seeds sown thus far with the release of your book.
