I’m working on becoming a better and more consistent writer, and one of the reasons I joined this community was to connect with other authors who are figuring things out too. I’m interested in sharing ideas, talking about what’s actually working, being honest about the parts that are difficult, and learning from each other along the way. I just enjoy conversations about writing and the process behind it. What’s something you’ve been struggling with in your writing lately?

I placed my order with Amazon, thinking that they had the fastest delivery time - well its been 2 weeks already. This is the longest I have waited for my books from Amazon. Tracking the package shows them arriving tomorrow - we'll see. I've found that Ingram has a bit richer or denser blacks, but their orders sometimes take 3-4 weeks to arrive. Oh well - patience is not really my strong suit. Just FYI - letting you all know to build in extra time when ordering your books.

Hi everyone, Publisher's Weekly is offering a promotion (https://booklife.com/about-us/pw-select.html) that sounds good and is reasonably priced. Has anyone done this promotion and had good results? Julie, if you or one of your folks want to chime in, is this sort of promotion worthwhile? Thanks! Lauriann

Hi all - I need to review and get help with my metadata, mostly finding the right keyword phrases for discoverability. Does Author Launch kit do this for us? I’m just getting into all this with this group. Thanks!! Lauriann
