Off the Bookshelf Reviewers
This is a group for people who like to read new books and give them a good critique.

Not only does the site offer free conversion software and a mass distribution engine, it is a place to find new voices and great books. OTBS authors would greatly appreciate having fellow writers and industry insiders supporting their…See More
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S MORE CREATIVE, WRITING OR SELLING? in the group Writer Entrepreneur"Both writing and selling are an "art" but are, alas, different types of "art". Thus a person who is highly talented at writing may not have the instinct or the feel for selling, and vice versa. I have found, though, that most…"

Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU ALSO HELP FIND AGENTS, PUBLISHERS AND WITH SALES & MARKETING? in the group Freelance Editors"Dick, I would love to connect with you and perhaps do some collaborations with clients. When I get back home (I'm up north in the Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario Canada, celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving), I'll send you an email."
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU ALSO HELP FIND AGENTS, PUBLISHERS AND WITH SALES & MARKETING? in the group Freelance Editors"Similar to Dick, I can assist a self-publishing author with all aspects of the publishing process. However, I'm not a designer, so for the design parts I usually send the author to some colleagues who are skilled with book design. If I am…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU USE AGENTS AND IN-HOUSE EDITORS FOR GIGS? in the group Freelance Editors"Jeff, any thoughts on how to make this kind of agent/editor collaboration happen?"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to Jill Celeste's discussion IS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE NON_FICTION? in the group Non-fiction"You mean that listening to loopy politicos who believe God is directing their career finally wakes up people to what crap it all is---i.e., God using these people to show us what God is not? Clever God....always knew God was a heyoka! "
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A LITERARY AGENT? in the group Non-fiction"I do also think, though, that if an author has a good agent and there is a good rapport between author and agent, and the author/agent combo is pitching successfully to publishers, having an agent like that would be well worth it. "
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU THINK IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A LITERARY AGENT? in the group Non-fiction"I know a few authors right now who have agents but thus far the agents haven't gotten them a book deal. I think an agent is useful when he/she does get a book deal for his/her client. But as we know, it is getting harder and harder for agents…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to Jill Celeste's discussion IS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE NON_FICTION? in the group Non-fiction"LOL, if God is telling Bachmann what to do, God must have slipped a gear somewhere...God clearly losing a grip. That's strictly my opinion, of course, and not scientifically proven!"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion DO YOU USE AGENTS AND IN-HOUSE EDITORS FOR GIGS? in the group Freelance Editors"Yes, I do get gigs from agents and some publishing houses. But I think there is far greater potential for this kind of collaboration than currently exists, particularly with agents. I think that agents and independent editors could work very well…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion IS IT OK TO GET VERY RICH FROM SELLING YOUR MESSAGE? in the group Spiritual Writing and Publishing"How would buying a yacht contribute to service to humanity/sentient beings? Perhaps the yacht would be used to provide floating writers' retreats to aspiring authors, or a sailing experience for young people learning life skills, or some such…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to Jill Celeste's discussion IS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE NON_FICTION? in the group Non-fiction"You raise a very interesting question, Jill. In past historical times when some of the great mystics had visions and other mystical experiences, and then wrote about it, no one said this was fiction. Teresa of Avila's book on the seven…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion HOW CAN WE MEASURE STUPIDITY? in the group Non-fiction"I would say that "stupidity" is largely the inability to make a cogent argument about a topic or issue. Many times the inability to think critically and debate coherently are because the person has not been taught the skills of critical…"
Sharon Lindenburger replied to jeff herman's discussion WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OPINIONS AND FACTS? in the group Non-fiction"Janet, I also teach at a university, and I concur with you that many students are not into reading anything substantive. They only want to know "what's on the exam?" Critical thinking has diminished, and even more so, the sheer joy of…"

One thing is for sure - discussions like the prophesy one make us all think. This is good.
I like the contemplative life focus. I've worked toward this for about ten years now and I am still a newbie at it.

Janet Starr Hull said… Sharon, My publicist sent me this video link, and I thought about you as I watched it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrAgb1-UKQ8&feature=colike
It has a political spin, so pass over that, but it mentions what you were saying about The Secret. I thought it was very well done.
Best,Janet Hull
