Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER WORKED ON A NOVEL? in the group Fiction"Our company only publishes digital books and they're just as legit as print books. I don't think a book has to have shelf space in a legacy shop to be considered a real book. It makes author autographings more of a challenge, but authors…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER WORKED ON A NOVEL? in the group Fiction"Why do you consider ebooks not real publishing?"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER WORKED ON A NOVEL? in the group Fiction"I take a parental approach to writing . . . "My head, my thoughts! If you don't like either, get out." Didn't work with this pair. They just went to their rooms, slammed the door and won't come down for dinner! ;-)"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER WORKED ON A NOVEL? in the group Fiction"I have an unfinished manuscript dating back to 1987(?). I used to have the first chapter on my website until I decided it was horrible and removed it. It's a good story, but the characters took it in a different direction than I was traveling,…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF PROMOTION IDEAS? in the group Book Promotion"Try ordering less stock and reodering only when you need it. A new release usually makes most of it's big money in the first three months it's published. Anything after that is gravy money.
If you're brave, take a handful of…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to Rose A. Valenta's discussion Have You Gone on a Virtual Book Tour? in the group Book Promotion"I looooove virtual book tours (VBTs)!! I work with one really great company called Goddess Fish Promotions. They handle most everything for you at a very reasonable rate. The do the promotional banners that host sites use on their site, and send the…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF PROMOTION IDEAS? in the group Book Promotion"We can run out of promo ideas??
I don't believe in writer's block so I probably don't believe in promotion block. There's always a way."
Kemberlee Shortland replied to Deborah Herman's discussion Do you know how to build an online platform? Share your ideas. in the group Book Promotion"Thanks, Margaret!"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion DO ROMANCE NOVELS HELP WOMEN ATTRACT MEN? in the group Romance"Jane, I think it depends on the romance. I agree to a point about heroes not matching up to real life guys in most romances. Some can be very believable.
When I write romance, I try to write stories and characters that are believable. While…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion DO ROMANCE NOVELS HELP WOMEN ATTRACT MEN? in the group Romance"Adding to what Jane said, romance novels are fantasy. It won't make their love lives happier, but it's a big of fun escapism.
If men were to read romances, they'd see what women fantasize about and maybe try some of those techniques.…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion A ROMANCE DIVISION FOR MEN? in the group Romance"To be honest, I don't know what the market is like in Germany, as I haven't seen it first hand. But I know they take literature very important. Remember it's the home to the famous Frankfurt Book Fair, which is the largest book fair…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion A ROMANCE DIVISION FOR MEN? in the group Romance"Broadly speaking, Americans are hung up about nudity and sex. Europeans not so much. As an American living in Europe, I can see the vast differences between the cultures. Especially in America around the Bible Belt. It's easy to see with…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to jeff herman's discussion A ROMANCE DIVISION FOR MEN? in the group Romance"Jeff,
Have I posted this link before? http://hearticles.blogspot.com/2010/06/blowing-curtains.html
A lot of research went into this as well as some added personal experience and chats with industry professionals.
Technically speaking, anything that…"
Kemberlee Shortland replied to Haseena Patel's discussion What are your three "desert island" books in the group Book Lovers"Quick question -- I'm all about context, so if we're on a desert island, shouldn't want books on how to find water? Or how to extract water from any cacti about? ;-)
Of course, I'm all for desserted islands . . . especially those…"
