The people around you might not understand and I find want to keep you as they know you--until they see the results and take up the banner.

I wonder what happens when an author's book is brought out by New York, sold for a season and remaindered in six months. I don't think the author can reach her stride before it's all over.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334481322260429459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865271793468011221.post-68822537744225577832011-10-08T06:00:25.685-07:002011-10-08T06:00:25.685-07:00Anne, my confidence as a writer and marketer, is a...Anne, my confidence as a writer and marketer, is a roller coaster ride. I released my memoir, Twenty-Eight Snow Angels: A Widow's Story of Love, Loss and Renewal, in August. Like most authors, the energy soared when I received the copies from my publisher. As the stress of promoting the book set in, I doubted myself and the power of my story. The positive feedback from readers, both men and women, made me realize the universal appeal of the book. Your blog comments, examples of marketing strategies and suggestions inspired me to focus in the positive direction. I can feel the passion returning. Writers need to believe in their readers and the message of their story. After all the hard work of writing our books, we need to embrace the experience of marketing and sharing our story with as many readers as we can. Thanks for all the great suggestions and keep being the Queen of Boast if it helps others!Diane Dettmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190875426622530668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865271793468011221.post-73600581561698093132011-10-07T17:00:36.536-07:002011-10-07T17:00:36.536-07:00Agreed.

"A woman's book" is a label the publishing industry gives sensitive books by women authors. I agree with you--OA counts among its fans many men whose wives or girlfriends have read it and placed it in their hands. I think of it as a starting place for discussion--for sisters, mothers and daughters, men and their women. Now please write something for the world, Anthony.Anne Schroeder Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137353578687008913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865271793468011221.post-85200874783279216952011-10-07T16:29:19.234-07:002011-10-07T16:29:19.234-07:00My confidence in my own ability to write a story w...My confidence in my own ability to write a story worth reading has been lagging into near invisible territory for at least half a year. But my excitement regarding my friends' writing successes has filled me up with joy. So I accept the gift of satisfaction and try as best I can to ignore the nagging sense that life grows short. I suppose it's my way of "counting my blessings" whenever and wherever they arrive. Oh, and Anne, I read OA. I not once thought of it as a "women's book." Our individual minds are like scattered puzzle pieces. Our humanity is recognized only when the pieces come together to form a pretty image.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
