Spring 2011: A Compilation of Writing and Marketing Articles

We're so pleased to announce that Writers on the Move has its first FREE ebook on the site. Just look on the right sidebar "Free Gifts" and click away!

This ebook has been in the works for several months as a thank you to our readers and visitors.

The ebook consists of contributions from a number of members for a compilation of writing and marketing articles that will hopefully help you in your writing and marketing endeavors.

In the works is another ebook that will highlight members' fiction writing; one on general nonfiction (an eclectic grouping of children, animal, environmental articles, and more); and another focusing on poetry.

Aside from being informative and/or entertaining, the ebooks are intended to offer an example of teamwork, creating an ebook, writing tips, marketing tips, fiction and nonfiction writing, and poetry.

We hope you find them useful and/or entertaining.

We'd love to know what you think of this first ebook, so if you get a chance please leave a comment.

How to Create an eBook and What You Can do With It

A bit about the workshop:

E-books are an amazing product that has multiple uses. And, it can be created at no cost, or for a very minimal amount. What else can you create that costs only your time and effort, and sells for whatever the market is willing to pay?

There aren’t many products that fall under that category. And, along with the ‘right price,’ e-books are easy to produce.

Workshop topics:

1. Creating an eBook: 5 Simple Steps

2. Offering an eBook for Free

3. Offering an eBook for Sale

4. About the ISBN, Copyright, and Creative Common License Info

5. Promotion Tips and Article Links

This workshop will give you the know-how to actually create your own ebook. And, all registered attendees will be given a 19 page ebook: How to Create an eBook and What You Can do With It. This is an easy to follow guide covering all the topics of the workshop.

Hopefully, you will get a chance to create your own ebook and then let us know how you made out in the workshop. It will also give you a chance to think of questions to help you get the most out of the workshop.

In case you can’t make the actual workshop, hopefully we will be able to get a transcript of the chat and provide it to any registered attendee who requests it.

Hope to see you all there. The next workshop will be in September, presented by myself and Nancy Famolari on self-publishing through createspace.com - we have a plethora of information to pass on to you. It will be a 90-minute workshop with handouts. More in August about where to register and how to get handouts.
