#197: Writer Resources: What Genre is my Book

 

Dear Christian Indies,

Many first-time authors write the Novel that’s in their heart, and when it’s finished find out that to market it, they need to know what genre it falls in.

Like me, maybe you wrote a book without a specific genre in mind and discovered afterward that your book doesn’t fit perfectly into any category. Perhaps you want help understanding how to know what genre is the best fit for your book.

In today’s episode, we hope to help you find clarity about what genres your book fits into and where you should market it.

See you there!

#196: Writer Resources: How to Find an Editor

 

Dear Christian Indies,

If you’ve listened to us for very long at all, you’ll notice we focus a ton on the importance of good editing. Good editing can make all the difference in the world when it comes to getting those all important reviews, and, let’s face it, can be the determining factor as to whether or not a reader continues on with your series. 

But where do you find an editor? Not only that, where do you find a good editor, particularly when you’re in the position of pinching your publishing pennies?

That’s what we’ll be discussing on today’s episode. We’ll cover our own methods of finding editing help, and we’ll also talk a little bit about what hasn’t worked for us in the past. After all, what’s the good of making a mistake if you (and others!) can’t learn from it?

Of course, before you start your hunt for an editor, you’ll want to refer back to our tips from episode #190, which is all about how to perform a good self-edit, and why there is wisdom in doing so (hint-it will save you money!).

It’s an episode you won’t want to miss. 

See you there!

#195: Writer Resources: Different Types of Editors

 

Dear Christian Indies,

We’ve covered Self-editing in depth on the podcast, most recently in episode #190. We’ve discussed how doing a good self-edit can save you money when it comes to having your book professionally edited.
What we haven’t covered recently is the fact that there are several different kinds of editors out there, and each has their own particular purpose. It is important that when you start looking for someone to edit your book, you understand what you are paying for, and have a clear expectation of the kind of work the editor will do for you.
That’s what we’re covering on this week’s podcast. It’s an episode that is sure to save you hassle and headache as you move forward on your writing journey, and you surely will not want to miss it.

See you there,

Jamie
