Author of the Year! Unexpected but not quite out of the blue

September 17, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

Tuesday night I got a totally unexpected phone call informing me I’ve been chosen by the Friends of the Albany Public Library to be honored for “Local Book and Author of the Year.” They want to showcase me and my mystery Eldercide at a luncheon on November 14th.

Authors weigh in on POD and self-publishing

July 29, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

My posts about print-on-demand and self-publishing have inspired many thought-provoking comments. Today I’m going to feature a few of the responses. First, the question I promised to answer in today’s post:  With so little quality control in the POD field, how do you convince people your work is worth reading, let alone buying? The answer,… [Read More]

Eldercide excerpt – I’m my own toughest editor

July 28, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

I’ve been getting lots of good responses to my posts about POD and self-publishing, and I plan to quote from several of your comments tomorrow. Much of the talk has focused on editing. Can everyone benefit from good editing? Does everybody need it? I’ve never hired a paid professional editor. My work has been read… [Read More]
