I have an ISBW recorded for you. It just needs editing. Why am I slack on this?
I’ve been writing.
Yeah yeah, the damn podcast implies that I should be doing that thing. If you listen, you know that discipline is a hard thing for me. But this week, starting last Sunday, I’ve been regular [...]
The majority of authors are still looking at giving your work away online as loss of copyright at best, and inviting plagarizing at worst. They either don’t know about or don’t believe in Creative Commons, and flat out deny the benefit of it.
I just got this email from Lora:
Just started listening [...]
Chris Brogan had a wonderful post today about marketing your book online. The best thing about the post are the comments, though, so take the time to look through those. Nathan Bransford talks about the leap from small press to big publisher, something I’m quite interested in. And NaNo is coming [...]
I decided to give ISBW a facelift – thanks to this slick new feed, I can have more power on the backend and a better look on the front end. If you find an issue with the site, please don’t hesitate to email me! I’m still tweaking. New podcast soon, I’m excited about the next [...]

I’ve followed Holly Lisle since my college years when she did a talk in a popular (now burned down) Chapel Hill indie bookstore. Her openess and eagerness to encourage me as a fledgling writer has always stuck with me. I interviewed her on ISBW a while ago, where she was just [...]
I’ve received several complaints at the latest video I’ve posted, mainly because the files won’t play on iPod, or Zune. And here’s the problem – frankly, I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to the technical end. First, my Final Cut is acting up horribly, dropping frames no matter what I do. So [...]
