Sunday Musings #6

Hey guys!

So here it is, the last Sunday Musings of 2016. I'm taking a short Christmas break with my writing tips... but before that, check out Sunday Musings #9 - cover up to show off your book!



In this session, I talk about why you should use a professional cover designer, why you need a great book cover and how it helps you find readers! Enjoy, and see you back at session #10 in January!

Sunday Musings #9

Hey guys,

Just a quick reminder that the Sunday Musings are back from the winter break! We return with #10 - with all you need to know on self-editing.



The checklist will tell you what you should look out for before you send your manuscript off to beta-readers:
Are pivotal parts missing? Do I need additional scenes?
Where am I telling where I should be showing?
Where am I skimming / bored?

These are just some of the checks on a self-edit, for the others check out the blog post!

Sunday Musings #10

Hey guys,

Playing a bit of catch up here - there's been two Musings since my last post:

Sunday Musings # 11 - Nothing better than a beta reader:
--> Where to find a beta reader
--> What to look for in a beta reader
--> How to best work with the feedback you get
Bonus: how to be a great beta reader for your fellow writers!

Sunday Musings #12 - writing system update:
I talk about applying the ideas of “The One Thing”, by Gary Keller, to writing:
--> how to define goals that help you achieve great things
--> how to create & prioritize actionable tasks (breaking down the big goals in manageable junks)
--> how to block time to get your One Thing done
Unlock the power of The One Thing - think small to live large!

Hope you'll find them both helpful :)

Hey guys,

check out Sunday Musings session #13: A blurb to elevate your book pitch.

I'm talking about how to make this important marketing tool as good as it can be:
--> How to write a great blurb
--> How to do your research
--> What you can use it for
A captivating blurb and a great cover: a winning combination!

Have a great Sunday!

Sunday Musings #14

Sunday Musings is back with session #15 - part one of my book marketing series!



This week, we're looking at author platform for a fiction writer: what it means, what to look out for & how to build one.
Specifically, we'll work on a tagline that describes what you and your work stand for. Consistent messaging for the win!
