My first book

My first book is ready for purchase

Thank you to everyone on WritersCafe.org who've been so supportive. Thank you for helping me grow as poet and writer. And thank you for all your encouragement and for helping me find confidence in my own Voice.

Congratulations! It is beautiful and well deserved.....Dale

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. I hope you'll buy a copy and leave a great review! The reviews are what drive customers to the book.

[Confuser]

Of course I will...but I didn't know it was published!!! I only saw the lovely poetry....I'll check it out! Dale

[MomzillaNC]

Just go to Amazon.com and type in "Dianaty"

[Confuser]

Will do!!! I'm writing it down; TY....Dale

[Pryde Foltz]

A wonderful title, Denise. I wish you all the success in the world, dear friend:)

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks, Pryde

[BClancy]

Wow, that's so amazing. You might know about it, but at my school we do something called 'Nanowrimo' where all of the participating students write a story and have it published. But this, this is incredible! I wish you all the luck in the world :)

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. It's slow going. But, I hope the eight folks who've purchased the book will tell their friends… and so on…

[A. Amos]

Wish you great success my friend, as soon as I finish my book would order your poetry. Infact how about a signed copy?

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I'd be honored to have an autographed copy of your work. I can only hope my own will someday be immortalized in hardcopy print. My book is only available in an eBook for now.

[A. Amos]

Keep your fingers cross and believe in yourself, trust me your a great writer!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I can no more stop writing than I could stop praying or drawing or singing or loving my son. I will always drawn back to it. Thing is, agents don't seem to be interested in poets. I can't even find a US agent who handles poetry.

[A. Amos]

Agents are not interested in anything:) so be cool about it!

[MomzillaNC]

That's why I just self-published. I don't need their condescension and intellectual elitism.

[MomzillaNC]

Granted, I'd accept it… ;)

[A. Amos]

Good for you!

[MomzillaNC]

[Chuba kichu]

Really Cool momzillanc. Will surely check,. Keep writing.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. It's not a bad deal for me. I receive 35% of sales in the USA and 70% of sales from most places outside the USA. I haven't sold many yet, though.

[Chuba kichu]

Thats cool. Will reply for sure if i get to buy it.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. If you buy it, please leave a review on Amazon.com.

[Chuba kichu]

Sure will do that.

[Chuba kichu]

Hello can i ask you something?

[MomzillaNC]

Certainly.

[Troy Henson]

Fantastic! I too am on the verge of a book release. It's so exciting.

Troy

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. Good luck with your own publishing.

[LuLuIcey]

Congratulations! Your poem is fantastic (in writerscafe) and your book must perfect! Way to go!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[jjwilbourne]

excellent work! I hope to publish one day. It's awesome to see other taking the dive!
I'll be sure to share this when I can!
Be sure to get people to leave reviews on Amazon!

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. And, good luck in your own quest to publish.

I wish folks would leave reviews on Amazon. Sadly, I cannot hold their hands to the keyboard when/if they buy my book.

[jjwilbourne]

Be sure to add a page at the end of the book asking to leave an honest review with a link back to the book page. I've heard from many indie authors that simply doing that increased their reviews substantually. I guess most readers don't remember or realize how important it is.

[MomzillaNC]

IDK how important it is either. But, it would take the book down for a day to make any correction. It's not a content important correction, though; it's probably not important enough to take the book down for such a minor addition.

[jjwilbourne]

Its very important for sales IMO. But if you're not trying to push sales really, then its not worth the bother.

[MomzillaNC]

I am trying to push sales. I'll have to consider, though, if it's worth taking the book down to make such an unrelated change… just to tell people to review.

[jjwilbourne]

true true.
