Content is King and Key

I’ve heard it said that content is king. I’ve also heard it said that content is key. The two sentences mean the same thing.

Expertise and Life Experiences Make Good Book Fodder

If you are still sitting on the fence about whether or not blogging your way to a book deal is a good idea. Consider this. You don’t necessarily have to blog your whole book to get a book deal. (I still, say, “Why not if you are already going to the trouble of blogging every […]

One Good Blog Post May Be All You Need to Get Published

Sometimes one blog posts is all it takes to get you noticed by readers, other bloggers, radio show hosts, agents and, ultimately, a publisher.

Blog Showcasing Awkward Family Photos becomes a Published “Album” and NYT Bestseller

Some of the blogs that have become books have involved little writing—or almost none at all. A recent pick involves awkward family photos with short pithy captions. That’s it. Mike Bender and Doug Chernack turned embarrassing family snapshots into a booming Internet industry—and now a book. First they took photos that used to gather dust […]
