Sue, I’m sorry to learn that one of your best clients has gone away. The books you did for them were beautiful; the press’s former authors — and others with books — will find your services invaluable.

Your post is grounded, perceptive and full of hope. Change is good. This shifting of gears appears to be a wise way of clearing the excess to make way for new ventures. Isn’t it amazing how much work it can be to change directions? More power to you and Carolyn.

Kathi’s right – it’s so great to see all the reviews in one place! And, Sue, that’s great news about the newsletter! So happy you were a contributor this piece – the book wouldn’t have been the same with your addition.

Oh yes, Kathi please do spread em around! Happy to host and see this get shared! Just answered a request from the Colorado Writers Newsletter who want to make an announcement about the book.

Thanks for putting together those awesome review quotes!! Wow! Very neat seeing them all in one place like that. I may have to just steal them and pin them to my wall.

Thanks for hosting us today, Sue! And thank you for writing your wonderful novella, “Shadows of Dreams” and designing the magnificent cover!

Comment on Many ways to measure success as a writer by Sue Campbell

That’s great Corinne! Yes, books in support of another enterprise, be it consulting, public speaking, teaching, and the like often do very well over the long haul.

They are not very often blockbusters, but they serve a specific niche market and serve to help the writer build their business as well as provide some return on investment. That’s a very good point!

Great post, Sue! Thanks for all of those insights and ideas! As a modestly successful self-published author (sold 5,000 copies of my first book; second book will surely do even better with a Sue Campbell cover!), I totally agree with you. Most of us are not going to live off our book royalties, but they can be a nice source of passive income, and a good way to build a profitable consulting/teaching/speaking business. Best of all, my book sells more copies per month now than when I published the first edition in 2006. But I keep my expectations at a realistic level: I make about $6,000 per year in book royalties which, although clearly not enough to live on, is a nice boost to the vacation account!

Thanks, ladies. It’s interesting that, to me, I can’t see “Sue’s style” in any of my work. Some people have told me I do have one, but I have never been able to pinpoint what it is. I really approach every design with the client’s needs and wants in mind—and every single one seems so different to me! I guess that’s good because I am never bored when I am designing covers.
