8 Things Every Blogger Should Know

If your goal is to get people to click on something, you need a killer headline. It has to be interesting, short, and hopefully provocative without being linkbait. The headline (and blog post) I'm most proud of is "He Took a Polaroid Every Day, Until the Day He Died." That headline poses multiple questions—Why did he take a photo every day? How did he die? Who is he?—but it also gives you a big "spoiler" by revealing that whoever this post is about died at the end of his project. I would argue that the spoiler is the biggest hook of the whole thing. It's also short enough to be forwarded via Twitter with room for added commentary. Read More...

The Craft & Business of Writing

Keep your content fresh. Don't blog about what everyone else is blogging about. Respond to a buzz topic with your fresh perspective, drawing on your expertise. Give folks something to think about that they won't find anywhere else.    Read More...

As a food and travel writer, I rely on my blog as my lifeline. It helps me connect with my readers and is a wonderful platform to make my voice heard. But it didn't happen overnight. It took a lot of work to learn how to keep my online presence interesting, fresh and inviting. As the Internet is flooded with more and more blogs each day, it's more important than ever for writers to understand strategies that both attract and retain followers.    Read More...

For today's prompt, write an exile poem. Exile is a noun, a verb, and an American rock band from Richmond, Kentucky. A person, animal, or object can be exiled. But people and animals also exile others—or even exile themselves. Read More...

Blogging is an incredibly effective and efficient way for writers to reach their target audience and build writer platforms.

More on Selling Books

Figuring Out Your Target Audience

Do you know who you're writing for? Like, truly, actually who your readers are—and why they are (or should be) reading your stuff? It's easy to fall into the habit of writing what you love or writing to impress your peers or your editor. That might make for good writing... but it won't necessarily attract readers. To do that, you have to write for, well, readers. Read More...

The Craft & Business of Writing

In the "good old days" getting published was a labor of love (or insanity). If you didn't have an agent, you prepared a synopsis, gathered the correct number of sample chapters and wrote what you hoped was an amazing query letter. You packed it all in an envelope along with a SASE (for you young'uns, that's a self-addressed stamped envelope), sent it off, and waited. And waited. And waited some more.    Read More...

When I was in Girl Scouts, I dreaded Cookie Season. You were given an order form, and you were supposed to get everyone you or your parents knew to order cookies. You were even expected to go door to door asking strangers to place orders. (Times change.) Because my parents both forbade me to do those things and refused to take the order form to work with them, I always sold exactly one box of Thin Mints and one box of Peanut Butter Patties (to them), which amounted to the lowest cookie sales of any girl in Troop 1401, year after year.    Read More...

For today's prompt, take the phrase "Little (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then write your poem. Possible titles include: "Little Guy," "Little Richard," "Little Mermaid," "Little Italy," and "Little Words That Pack a Big Punch." I think if you think about it for a little bit, you'll find a big (or little) poem to write. Read More...

Congratulations on publishing your first book! Maybe it's actually the second or third book you've written, or your tenth, but at long last a publisher has recognized the genius even you had begun to question. Go on and open that bottle of wine that has aged so gracefully, if a little dustily, for the past decade. The elliptical machine can wait until tomorrow. You've worked hard for this moment, but more work lies in front of you. Until you reach that point in your career when your name on the book cover dwarfs the title, the book you've written needs help finding its way into readers' hands. How much your publisher helps to spread the word will depend on many factors, not least of which is their publicity budget, but there are many ways you can maximize your book's visibility for minimal costs—or even for free.

Learn how to hook an agent with the upcoming How to Find and Keep a Literary Agent boot camp. Real literary agents will teach writers how to entice agents, editors, and readers by covering how to query, write effective opening chapters, and so much more. Plus, all attendees can receive agent feedback on their queries and first five pages. Read More...

Story 2
When plotting my mystery and suspense novel, I was inspired by the works of Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was dubbed the 'Master of Suspense' for very good reason. He knew how to manipulate an audience and keep them watching. In the same way, here are seven tips to remember when writing suspense to keep your reader turning pages. Click to continue.

In a sense, most good stories contain hints of mystery, but mystery novels don't hold back.
