Who am I and why am I writing yet another book on getting published on the internet? I am a writer just like you, an editor, a publisher and web page designer.

My writing career was progressing nicely until I discovered the internet in October 1997. Since that time I have come up with new and creative ways to procrastinate about writing. First, I had to build three personal web sites. Then, I thought a couple of virtual domains would be nice.

When I took a break from building web sites, I kept meeting talented, yet unpublished or underpublished authors on various email lists. I could feel their anguish and frustration at not being able to break into print. I decided to do something about it and created Twilight Times ezine to showcase beginning writers. The seventh issue recently went on-line.

Each week I still receive stories from unpublished writers. Most submissions are great stories that deserve to see print, but new writers cannot seem to break into the print markets. For these writers, I offer advice on how to get their stories published online.

Next, I started listening to writers who could not get their novels published. These were novels that later garnered four star reviews. Thus, Twilight Times (TT ezine), and finally Twilight Times Books ( TT Books) were created.

On epublishing email lists, writers ask questions such as -- how can I get published, which epublishing house should I choose, how can I best promote and market my first novel, etc. The people asking these questions are authors who have written good books, but simply cannot break into the novel markets. Most of these authors prefer to write cross-genre fiction, which the NYC publishers do not seem to know how to market. In Practical Tips for Online Authors, I answer these questions and more based on my own experiences. I will also give you a number of low-cost or no-cost tips on how to promote and market your novel on-line.
