About SharingwithWriters Blog

Carolyn,

Thanks very much for replying so quickly.

The way I'd like it to appear on your blog is between the two lines of
stars below (without the stars, of course!).

In the metadata I've given the link to the Kindle edition of
"Deadfall", my young-adult thriller, because the paperback edition is
temporarily unavailable.

In “The Frugal Book Promoter” you stress the importance of  authors
educating themselves in marketing books. So here are details of the
Writers  Bureau correspondence course “How to Market Your Book”:


General info from:  the Writers Bureau (www.writersbureau.com), Manchester,  UK

Course info:  www.sell-book-course.com

Course type: home study

Price (on 2nd July 2014): £274  (about $470).


When I took the course (November 2013 – May 2014) there were a small
number of mistakes (such as a few out-of-date Web links, and one or
two  features
on Amazon it suggested using that had changed or been discontinued),
but overall it was very useful, with excellent  support from my tutor.

Metadata (I hope I've given you all the info you wanted for this part:
I wasn't quite sure how you wanted me to present it).

world's worst terrorist attack), Mark Logie,
