My Writing and author and fiction and writing Sue Campbell on 13 Jun 2010
Like writing? Like Flash Fiction? (Flash is anything under 1,000 words.) Like vampires? It’s all coming together at the VampireKissed website. Author Devin O’Branagan is holding a flash fiction contest. You must use the words “vampire kissed” in your story’s title, and use the vampire theme in the story. Writing a complete story in 1,000 [...]
Reviews and blogging and books and case studies and marketing and publishing and reading and writing Sue Campbell on 06 Jun 2010
So there’s book promotion, and there’s book promotion. Here’s what may be a, pardon the pun, novel approach to crowd-sourcing your book promotion. First, have deep pockets, because it involves sending out a lot of free books. Next, be patient for the ground swell of momentum to catch up to your book selling efforts. Come [...]

I’m enjoying the discussions of the covers for Breath. The interesting thing about cover design is that it’s largely subjective. What appeals to people is depends on their backgrounds, their preferred genres, their cultures, education, socio-economic level, and gender among other things. With all the variables it’s a wonder we can agree on anything! But [...]

First let me apologize once again for how long it’s taken me to get these underway. All kinds of things just conspired against me having any time to work on them. Paying work has to come first, because, this is my job after all. Writing and holding contests are just my hobby! So here goes.

OK, no sponsors. It’s just me.
I know that my three contest winners are waiting anxiously for their covers. And um… I haven’t had much time to devote to them yet. I’m at the research and “noodling” stage. Next comes “doodling,” but we mustn’t short change the noodle part. Though there’s nothing concrete to show for [...]

The entry period for the win a free cover contest is now closed—but there’s always next year if you missed it.
I’ve received a number of entries and have only just started reading. The selection of three winners will hard! But you’re all winners—what an accomplishment! A novel in a month it still boggles my mind.

Nanowrimo and Personal News and bookcover and bookcovers and books and covers and design and writing Sue Campbell on 29 Dec 2009
Hello Writers,
First let me apologize for the lack of posts. Upon returning from our vacation I received bad news that my sister had been diagnosed with leukemia, and I made an immediate trip to California to be with her and family during the first round of chemo. I am happy to report that, though it [...]

I thought my contest page would publish itself automatically on December 1, as I had it set to do that, but it didn’t. SORRY! I am still on vacation and traveling back tomorrow. Because of this delay, the new entry dates will be Dec 14th through Dec. 30th.
So if you want to enter your Nanowrimo [...]
