Without my good camera at hand, I grabbed hubby's old smartphone.
I had to snap this picture of Roo. I was in my recliner editing a
manuscript for my upcoming release The Shy Writer Reborn when Roo
had to sit in my lap. Then she had to turn around and watch me edit.
Then she had to bite at my pen. She knows she's cute and uses it to
her advantage. Needless to say, I didn't get much editing done.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT EBOOKS?

First of all, ebook sales are equaling print sales with most
publishers, on most books. Ebook sales for Lowcountry Bribe
amounted to over 85 percent of sales. Yep. Surprised me, too.
And yes, I understand you want to hold that paper book in your
hands. But if you are seeking numbers of sales and dollars in
your pocket, you'd better embrace ebooks. Here are a few reasons
why you should consider publishing via ebook:

1) Readers will test a new author on an ereader, where they can
purchase the book for a big discount. They will not often go into
Barnes & Noble and spend $15-$30 for that same test. Sure, I sold
a few copies of Lowcountry Bribe, but most came from online sales
that I prompted. Those who didn't know me, read me via ebook.

2) Ebooks are cheaper. Readers would rather buy more books for
their buck.

3) Books are not fun to get rid of. They take up space. I donate
or giveaway at least 100 books a year. It gets old finding new
homes for old books. I save my bookshelf space for those special
books I want to keep.

4) Ebooks are mobile. I travel several times a year, and always
have at least two books going at a time. If I'm gone for a week
or having to make long waits at airports, I go through even more
books. You get the idea.

5) Your ebooks are simple to upload to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.
Heck, you can have Smashwords or BookBaby upload your book to
all electronic sites for next to nothing.

6) Ebooks pay higher commissions/royalties than paper. Ebooks
published by a traditional publisher result in royalties of
25 to 40 percent. Royalties for print are eight percent on the
average. Let's say an ebook is $9.95 and a print book is $14.95.
When you sell one of each, you receive $3.98 per ebook sold and
$1.20 per print book sold. You could sell the ebook for as low
as $2.99 (a common price per book) and make the same royalty of $1.20.

However, don't overlook the fact that your ebook:

1) Needs to be edited as hard as any print book.
2) Needs just as gorgeous a cover as any print book.
3) Needs marketing and promotion like any print book.
4) Needs book reviews like any print book to be taken seriously.
5) Can be uploaded almost too easily, so so you'll be tempted
to post it for sale prematurely.

Ebooks are here to stay. People who swore they'd never read
anything but paper are warming up to e-readers. Here are some
links to help you get started as an ebook author. It's indeed
a learning curve, but once you get it down pat, it gets to be
fun as well as turn a few dollars for your pocket.

SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Hope

2013 quickly started off with a few setbacks in my life, leaving
me feeling very 'blah' about rest of the year to come. Then,
yesterday I opened my email to discover that my short story,
"One Perfect Day" is one of the top ten winning entries to be
included in the Hysteria 2012 Anthology later this Spring published
by Crystal Clear Books. If it hadn't been for your constant
encouragement through your fabulous newsletter, Funds For Writers,
I would never have known about this competition and would not now
be enjoying this success.

Thank you Hope, for providing hope!

Anthology Submissions: A Good Idea or Not?

By Lisa K. Winkler

Thinking of submitting to an anthology?

I’d say if you have time to write an essay based on the submission
guidelines, aren’t looking for great financial reward but are
seeking to be published in a “real” book, there’s nothing to lose.

I noticed a small ad in Poets & Writers for submissions to an
anthology devoted to lessons learned from our mothers. The editor,
Eric Bowen, had decided to create an anthology of essays and poems
and donate half of the proceeds to shelters for women and children
affected by domestic violence. He offered to pay each writer $50,
or we could opt to have our fee donated. The book, Wisdom of Our
Mothers, was published in 2010.

(http://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Our-Mothers-Stories-daughters/dp/1453631011)

I was delighted to have my essay about my mother and knitting
selected and the book has been a wonderful gift item. And it was
my first time published in a book so a great credential to add to
my resume.

Shortly after, I was invited to submit an essay to a book being
compiled by a college admissions dean about the college search and
parents. This book, I’m Going to College, Not You, was published by
St. Martin’s Press. The editor paid the contributors $200 each.

(http://www.amazon.com/Im-Going-College-Not-You-Surviving/dp/0312607296 )

While these opportunities weren’t high paying, I felt they were
important and a chance to have my work judged by an editor. I liked
the anthology idea so much, I decided to create my own. I’d reached
my first year of blogging and wanted to do something to remember
some of my favorite posts. I invited other writers, mostly women
I’ve met through blogging, to contribute. A few other non-blog writers
joined too.

Without giving the writers any themes, I received submissions that
span the entire citrus spectrum, from sour to sweet. Inside are poems
and essays about parents, families, jobs, food, and memories. The
title, Tangerine Tango: Women Writers Share Slices of Life, came from
my love of the color orange and love of alliteration. I offered to pay
the writers $50 for their submissions and have decided to donate the
proceeds from the sales to fight Huntington’s Disease, which honors
one of the writers who lost her mother to the disease this year.

I loved working with the writers and shaping the book, seeing the
themes that emerged. I hope to do it again!

So, I’d encourage you to submit to an anthology if you see one that
speaks to you as a writer. Not for the money, but to be included in a
book that you can be proud to be part of and will give you a chance to
be published. I’d be wary of offers that don’t pay at all, or are for
total commercial gain. Be sure you maintain the rights of your work
too. You never know, being in an anthology could be a steppingstone
to more acceptances.
