Halloween week is here, and hopefully your own horror novel is rampaging around the virtual countryside, grabbing readers by the throat and squeezing them for every cent they’re worth!
 
Of course, unless your book happens to be a “monster” bestseller, it might be suffering the curse of the damned.
 
Here are six “Universal” ways your book might be identified as a creature marked for doom, rather than a creation to be celebrated…

One of the primary reasons for going to college is to get a good job when you get out. It’s tough out there and college students need to actively NOT do anything to undermine internship and job opportunities. College students need to carefully curate their digital identity.

​Choosing a title for your book is almost as significant – and challenging – as naming your own kid, since, in effect, your book is your baby, or at least your brainchild.
 
There are a variety of factors to consider when it comes to this decision, which is just as commercially crucial as the cover art, since it will be the initial introduction of this work to the public, and first impressions always count when courting success...

It started with Facebook and Twitter. But the names kept piling on. From Instagram to Google Plus and from Tumblr to Snapchat, we now have so many social networks of different shapes and sizes that sometimes it gets really hard for a social media manager. Apart from handling the sheer variety and volume, one major concern in such processes is that of the “continuity” of the message. When you post across diverse channels all the time, there is a risk of spreading an inconsistent message and creating confusion about the brand. Here is a list of steps that you can take to avoid the same.

​It’s the dream of most writers to have their work widely read, respected, and appreciated. Though this goal is common, the pathway to its achievement varies from individual to individual.
 
Most readers nowadays don’t seem to care as much as the authors themselves whether a book is published by a small press, a traditional house, or by the writer him/herself.
 
So is it pitching your book to a small press even worth the bother? Or is it more practical to just do it all yourself?
 
The answer, as usual, is not that simple…

​In previous columns I’ve explored the most popular platforms when it comes to DIY publishing: Lulu, Amazon, and Smashwords.

For as long as people have been writing there have been ghostwriters. I would wager some of your fondest childhood memories have ghostwriters – Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, even the Little House books all were ghostwritten, at least to some degree.

From penning celebrity tell-alls to crafting speeches for the highest political offices, ghostwriting is a common (potentially lucrative) practice – but you wouldn’t think so if you followed the “scandal” that caused tempers to flare in the rap world this past summer.

​The human condition is a complex, mysterious state of being, and writers since the dawn of the written word have tried to capture it accurately, to share with their fellow wandering spirits.

​Misery loves company. But so does joy.
 
Since every person’s life story is different, they’re all worth telling.

When it comes to putting it down on paper, however, you have to decide: do you want to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, or an artfully commercialized version of it that might actually sell some books?
