Today, I’m over on Kendra’s and Matilda’s blog, Women’s Memoirs, doing a wrap-up of some of the questions and answers from the panel. The authors fielded questions from what are the stats on the popularity of memoirs, to how do I find an agent interested in memoir, to what is an author’s platform and how do I build it.
I know Kendra and Matilda would love it if you linked over and asked them any questions you have, not just about memoir, but about writing and publishing in general.
See you there!

Mystery Writing is Murder
And an hour and a half probably flew by, too.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there...:)
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely visit the site you suggested! Thanks for sharing.
Even I was surprised by how quickly the hour and a half went by.
ReplyDeleteI'm headed over, Helen ...
ReplyDeleteI'll be clicking.
ReplyDeleteI think being in the right place at the right time is a big plus for getting published. I started reading two mystery books this week (from well known authors). After the first three chapters of bonding with what I thought was the protagonist in the first book there was a death - hers. Then I picked up another mystery and the POV changed so much my head was spinning like a character from the Exorcist.

Ann, head-hopping drives me nuts as well. Ask some of the writers I edit for - ;-)

Dawn, If I missed anything, add it in your comments!
ReplyDeleteThe conference sounds like it was great and very beneficial. Thanks for sharing so much of the info from workshops and presentations with us
ReplyDeleteI have seen in this and other blogs that many authors self-publish their work. I guess you have an advantage when English is your first language. Then you have potentially one billion readers or more world wide. My first language, Winterlandic, is spoken (or at least understood) by less than 20 million people. How many potential readers would you need to set up a successful self-publishing book project? Any ideas about that?
