Online Community for Authors

In this section you will find author forums, video tutorials, tool downloads and audio files.

In the author forum, you can participate in a forum started by one of our associates or you can begin your own forum. Forums are a great way to get answers to questions and participate in the community.

Many people find that they learn best by watching videos. We have an instructional course on how to start a blog and other informational videos that show how a book is perfect bound and hard bound. We will continually add new videos and encourage members to come often to see the new videos. A couple of hints with videos. As videos are large files, we first upload our videos on Google. This allows for relatively quick viewing although the image quality is sometimes not what we wish it would be. But if we loaded the "raw" video, you might have to wait hours for it to download. Also, when you first view a video, it will take a few moments to "buffer" depending on the speed of your Internet connection. One tip is to let the video buffer completely and then watch it. The second time you view it the video will play without pauses.

We also have files in the download section, like marketing plans and financial worksheets and the book self-publishing primer. You will want to check this section from time to time to see if any new tools are available.

Audio files take less time to download and as we move forward, we will be creating many audio files for you to download. We will let associates know when new files are available.
