BookBaby newsletters

Here are the latest bookbaby newsletters for my followers to peruse:

November 2017

On the door to my office, I’ve posted my favorite BookBaby ad. It’s getting a little ragged around the edges because it has been up there for a while. But the message is just as valid as the day it was printed.

In fact, here’s a picture of it.

There are very few universal truisms in the business of publishing, but recommending that authors take the time–and money–to pay for good editing is one of them. Because let’s face it, "Having my book professionally edited was the worst investment I could have made on my bestseller," said no author ever. It’s why we created our own premium editing service for BookBaby authors. You can read all about it here.

While it’s no substitution for a good line or copy editing session, self-editing can help improve your writing and make your editor’s job that much easier. Bestselling author Jerry Jenkins contributed a post to the BookBaby blog on the subject. See what he has to say here.

Before you go, here’s an interesting story about the world’s largest floating bookstore! Since it set sail in 2004, the Logos Hope has distributed more than 3 million books and had more than 2.5 million visitors onboard. Learn more here.

All the best,
