Author Success Summit - Free Event With World Top Authorities

Join the Author Success Summit. It's Free. August 14th - 18th, 2017.

Lots of world top authorities who’ll help you scale up your book sales and take your writing career to the next level.

This event is free if you attend live (There is an all access pass available if you can’t make all the sessions), and it’s one you don’t want to miss.


I promise you that this isn’t going to be the same old advice you’ve heard before.

To start with, you’ll learn step-by-step how Amazon’s algorithm works and how you can use it to explode your book sales.

Then you’ll learn the most creative and yet highly profitable book launch and marketing strategies that you’ll find anywhere.

You’ll also learn how to grow your craft as a writer, and if you’re still finishing your first title, you’ll learn how to get it done quickly.

Lastly, you’ll learn other creative formulas and strategies that will help you scale up your income quickly.

This goes WELL beyond e-books.

You’ll learn from over 40 speakers how to expand your brand, how to get physical books on the shelves in stores, how to get the reviews you need rapidly, and so much more.

The summit even includes a session on how you merchandise your brand like JK Rowling.

This is all put together in an easy to follow formula for you so you can replicate the strategies for yourself - no matter where you’re at as an author.

Because the more streams of income you have, the more stable your career will be (and the easier it will be to scale it up to the next level):


As an author you really do have endless income opportunities at your finger-tips. All you need is to know how to harness them, and you’ll learn exactly how to do that at the Author Success Summit.

Hope to see you there!

Here's to your success,

Words From The Wise - Author Quotes

Here is some of the great authors with their super advice for writers. I like George Orwell's quote: "Never use a long word where a short one will do." When I am reading and the author throws in some obscure, long word, it jolts me right out of the story--something you don't want to do as a writer.

George Orwell
 Yes, those obnoxious long, drawn out pages of description or back story that we skip over in a novel.

Elmore Leonard

 Let your characters have inconsistencies to make them real.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I know exactly how Maya Angelou feels. I have to convince my muse too. 
Maya Angelou
Saul Bellow

So much truth in Saul Bellow's quote. My characters often wake me up in the middle of the night with some important news, plotting, setting, etc., and I convince myself to get up and write it down lest it being lost by morning.

I think these authors hit the mark with their advice.

Noteworthy Writing Advice.


Writing advice from famous authors is something I take to heart.


Illustration by Samantha Kickingbird

     I love quotes by famous writers. Probably because there is such basic truths in their advice: when the writer can't find a way out of their writer's block, dealing with--or not--the criticism of others, following your heart and sticking by your mission as a writer, and getting past your own self-doubt.

    Here are some famous author's quotes most worthy of the advice:

 "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time--or the tools--to write. Simple as that." --Stephen King

 "Don't take anyone's writing advice too seriously." --Lev Grossman

"You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club." --Jack London

"I would advise anyone who aspires to a writing career that before developing his talent he would be wise to develop a thick hide." --Harper Lee

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't try to write through it, to force it. Many do, but that won't work. Just wait, it will come." --Toni Morrison

"True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision." --Edith Wharton

"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." --Sylvia Plath


I think that most writers find these truths the hard way--through practice, rejection, and the hair-pulling-out techniques that devoted writers go through.

The quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery rings the biggest truth for me. When the writer can kill their own words, cut scenes, get to the core of the story, then perfection is achieved in that writing.

If you read, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, you will well see what concise writing is to a great book. The Little Prince is one of my favorite books ever, and it is perfection.

When I was in journalism school, most of my assignments were targeted to cutting words. I had to write a short story, of say 1500 words, send it in for grading ,then (for the final mark of that assignment) cut it back to 1000 words without loosing the essence of the story.

Killing of your own words is a tough business at first. But through practice, and some mourning, it becomes easier. And the outcome is a story worth the telling.

Then there's Lev Grossman's advice "Don't take anyone's writing advice too seriously." This is a mighty important message for writers. Don't let other people's criticism hold you back from telling the story you need to tell--what some will love, others may not. Hence, the thick hide comes in handy.
