Interesting Project for Writers 

April 28th, 2008

I received the following email in my Facebook account and thought I’d share. If anyone is interested, please contact Paul directly. Thank you.

Hi Philip, excuse the intrusion but I’m trying to get writers, readers and artists involved in a new project called Bigger Than The Bible. Basically I want to create the longest book ever by encouraging writers to battle it out against each other to produce the best chapter. This chapter then gets added to the book and so it starts again for the next chapter. Artists can then get their brains working to create the book cover! Readers, you can enjoy and vote for the best chapters and artwork to go into the book. And that’s it, so show your interest at http://www.biggerthanthebible.com now and start writing. Oh I forgot, there’s £500 to the best chapter that gets voted into the book first, you can also earn money if future chapters written by you get added!!

Audio Book - rule 5 of How to Fail 

April 28th, 2008

Author Blasts is the Authors On The Net Podcast. If you are a member of AON and you have a book, we would like to interview you. Simply send us an email at info@authorsonthenet.com. We are also interested in speaking with publishers, distributors, book designers, editors and other people who have a publishing or book promotion message.

Todays podcast is part 5 of a series of recordings promoting the book, How To Become A Total Failure: The Ten Rules of Highly Unsuccessful People. The authors are Dr. William Guillory and me, Philip Davis. Bill did most of the work. My role was to provide stories for each role. I decided to put these files on Author Blasts to show a specific tactic - turning your book into an audio book. Bill and a professional journalist read the book. The entire production cost was under $500. We can now put these files on our blogs and distribute through other channels. In addition, we have now repurposed the book for people who prefer to download and play on their computers or ipods. I hope you enjoy and feel free to purchase our book at Amazon. Here’s the first segment, the introduction.

What Every Author Needs To Do . . . 

April 16th, 2008

Get creative. I found this video in a group I joined on Facebook and thought I’d share. Most successful authors became successful by figuring out a unique twist. That’s why at Authors On The Net, we emphasize the need to “invent” your own strategy. Click here to watch the video:


What Author Joe Langen is Doing 

April 13th, 2008

Joe is a relatively new member to Authors On The Net and he asked me to visit his blog at http://commonsense-wisdom.blogspot.com/. I wanted to share Joe’s blog with the community for two reasons. The first reason is I like what Joe is doing with his blog, i.e. tracking his conversations with his muse. I read three posts before I realized I needed to go back to work. The second reason is that Joe’s posts show he is working hard on his marketing plan.

So many authors we work with simply do not take the time to think about their plan and Joe’s conversations show how important it is to make a plan. His blog post also shows that making a plan is not that difficult and I’m glad Joe has been able to get some guidance from Authors On The Net as that what the association is here for.

Joe has done some other things right as well. He has picked a theme and each post focuses on his theme. He also weaves some nice links in his posts very naturally. His conversational style lets him do this easily. In any case, I thought I’d share and if you have a minute you might pop over and see what Joe is doing.
