Aspects of Writing

-


Writing a novel or audio book and then getting it into the hands of the public can be complicated. Fortunately, radio shows like Aspects on Writing hosted by James Kelly on KLAV AM in Las Vegas, are here to help http://aspectsofwriting.com/ Kelly's show is designed to help writers learn more about their craft as well as proven strategies for marketing.

Kelly is author of “The Emblem” available for sale on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/The-Emblem-James-Kelly/dp/1886726027 and “Creating God” which is available as an internet download from Barnes and Noble.

As part of the show, Kelly is mentoring Janet Coursey who is in the process of self-publishing a novel called “The Secrets of Time.” Coursey's novel centers on a character named Sara who discovers a letter hidden in a secret compartment in a grandfather clock which has been in her family for 148 years.

Coursey and her editor, Dana Micheli, are Kelly's co-hosts on Aspects of Writing. Micheli has an impressive background in the world of writing and publishing. She is currently working for Writers in the Sky.com http://www.writersinthesky.com/ Authors can hire Micheli for a variety of services including copy editing, proofreading and marketing.

On February 12, 2013 I was a guest on the show when the topic was The Importance of Social Media and Audio Books http://aspectsofwriting.com/Links.html The panel also included writer, producer and director Jefferson Langley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmaoXJFQ_lI
It was a pleasure to share and exchange ideas with writers and producers who are on the same journey through the oftentimes confounding world of social media.

The sponsors of Voice Acting For Dummies are offering this guest blog post that I thought would be helpful to actors and writers. Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website.

I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website.
