I was thril...Thanks for sharing, Lisa and Shelley.<br /><br />I was thrilled to meet Scott James Bell and hear about his success in e-publishing. I will be bringing out my new YA fantasy Seventh Dimension soon and plan to release it as an ebook first. <br /><br />There are so many more options today for authors. I would much rather work hard at marketing this way than knocking on doors of overworked editors who will probably never look at my manuscript anyway. I love letting readers be the gatekeepers, and as always, I stress the importance of producing the best quality product you can. <br /><br />I thought I had come up with the concept of beta readers for the John 3:16 Marketing Network, but in his book, Mr. Bell talks about using beta readers himself. <br /><br />I grew up in a family business and the idea of competition and the free market and producing the best product has been engrained in me since I was seven years old. The future is ours as authors -- and James Scott Bell has given us in his book Self-Publishing Attack! a business model that works.Lorilyn Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397365249052526720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286571302565852750.post-13787239822429747792012-07-20T17:14:28.348-04:002012-07-20T17:14:28.348-04:00Great interview!

I love his book <i>Revision and Self-Editing</i>. <br />Just for those wondering about taking the leap into self-publishing, I uploaded my first eBook on May 23, 2011. Just a little over a year later, I now have five eBooks out, a movie in development (two books optioned), and over four thousand dollars earned for the month of June alone. Self-publishing was the smartest step I've taken in my writing career.Lisa Gracehttp://www.lisagracebooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286571302565852750.post-39859912570827752222012-07-20T14:41:24.356-04:002012-07-20T14:41:24.356-04:00You are welcome, Rose.

It is a persistent theme with me. Clearly the option to self-publish sets a writer free from the tyranny of editors whose slush piles threaten to take over their offices. Yet, as Mr. Bell points out, with freedom comes responsibilities, translate that as "hard work." I loved the interview. Now I need to read the book.Katherine Harmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811091606967385803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286571302565852750.post-19451241102140883572012-07-19T21:52:47.665-04:002012-07-19T21:52:47.665-04:00Wonderful interview and much food for thought here...Wonderful interview and much food for thought here!
