Editio ’s comments from the Editio Self-Publishing group.

Has anyone read any good books about self-publishing?
* This is not the place to promote your book.

This is a great place for people to list where they found editors who they really like.

Check out a new Group by one of our favorite authors. http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/5...
This group is about getting you, the writer, in touch with your readers. Hope it helps you self-promote.

So glad it was helpful. That's why we made the web site. We hope to be able to do the thinking for you, so all you have to do it be a writer.

I thought this would be a great place to ask your fellow writers for help with any story problems you're having. Everyone here is so helpful with issues around publishing, why not lean on each other for story issues? There is nothing like getting advice from your fellow authors. So feel free to use this topic thread, or start another, to ask each other for help issues you're having with your story.

Good luck Dawn!

Could you do me a big favor? If you like the articles on Editioselfpublishing.com, or you have something to say to the author,could you leave a comment on the article? The authors love to hear from you. That's what keeps them motivated to keep writing. Knowing what you think is what inspired them.

On a side note, I do really appreciate how many of you have been re posting the links and tweeting the articles. The more that happens, the more authors we can reach.

Thanks again for all your great involvement!

Good luck. Your name and picture does not give away whether your a man or women so I did not know how hard to laugh at the Bikini comment!

The story starts with the book originally being published by an independent publisher...."

Thanks Shaun!

Welcome Saun- we look forward to all you have to say about publishing. Are you self-published or traditional? If your interested I would love for you to start a thread in the "general" category and talk about what it has been like having one of your books turned into a movie. I know I would love to hear about it and I am sure our other members would to.

Here is our latest article about what the stigma attached to being a self-published author. We would love to hear your experiences.

Jason, the program is still in Beta version so hopefully they will get that figured out. I would try writing them if you don't get a response then go to the Goodreads sponsored group that is about asking questions. Leave a comment there and someone should get back to you about that within a few hours.
Hope that helps.
