Read the complete review of Practical Tips for Online Authors by Cindy Penn of Word Weaving.
As a book reviewer, I pride myself on the speed with which I can read a book - not this one. It took me HOURS to read. Why? Because I had to stop every couple of pages, dial up the internet and visit links that were so pertinent to my career that I could not wait till I had finished the book.
I am not exaggerating. Every new topic combines invaluable advice and really clever tips with absolutely awesome links. I consider myself a professional writer, and having done most of my writing almost exclusively online for the past few years, I thought I knew it all - how wrong I was. Lida has some brilliant strategies for marketing, promotion and research that had never occurred to me before.
But this book isn't just for professional writers, as she starts with the very basics and proceeds from there.
...Lida is full of great suggestions for getting your work known. With some very impressive guest writers, she includes advice on query letters and marketing your books.
..."Practical Tips for Online Authors" is worth it's weight in gold - definitely a 'must-have' resource!

At this price, you can’t go wrong even if you are only curious about writing. Lida is the Publisher of Twilight Times Books, so she knows her topic from first hand experience, so you can be assured that this is a well thought out volume. Highly recommended by Baryon.
Reviewed by Barry Hunter for Baryon Online.
While unabashedly geared for the "prepublished" ebook author of speculative fiction, much of the advice crosses genre boundaries and proves useful to writers aiming for traditional print markets, as well. In fact, with the Internet becoming a major force in the world of book marketing, authors at all rungs of the literary ladder of success will benefit from this handy and well-organized reference. The hypertext references make it easy to skip to specific topics within the book....
Reviewed June 2000 for Crescent Blues by Kim D. Headlee, the author of Dawnflight, a novel about the legend of Guinevere garnering rave reviews and award nominations from romance and fantasy venues alike.
Publisher's Note:
Practical Tips for Online Authors contains dozens of low-cost or
no-cost marketing and promo ideas from several published authors along with
over one thousand current links the author has compiled from weeks of searching the Internet.
