    One of the single best things about creating a blog is that when you’re interacting with users properly you’re creating dynamic and fresh content. A perfect example of this is when you create a piece of content for your blog which creates a lot of feedback in the form of comments from your readers. How…

    Last week I came upon this awesome article thanks to my dear friend Dr. Q. And I couldn’t agree more with almost everything she has to say. For those of you who follow me, you know I’m a pretty heavy Twitter user. I tweet, both live and automated, throughout the day. I have met friends…

    Last week when I was setting up O. M. Grey’s kickstarter program, I learned about Amazon Payments. Seeing as how I’m such a huge supporter of Amazon.com and everything they do, I was quite surprised I hadn’t heard of Amazon Payments before. PayPal has been my online method of choice for fifteen years. I’ve been…

Please take a look at the project and the little vlog she made for the campaign. She’s got some great rewards like free eBooks, author signed books, a mention in the acknowledgements, a…

    Sometimes the hardest thing about keeping a blog is finding topics on which to write, especially if you’re looking for fresh content multiple times a week. The most important thing for writers to remember when blogging is that you’re doing it to serve the reader first. This means you don’t want to make the same…

    Social networking is a huge time-suck, or at least it can be until you learn how to manage it. Perhaps I’m not the best person to write about this, as the allure of Twitter and Facebook is far too tempting. Many of you who follow me under @christinerose or @omgrey know just how prolific my…

    Twitter is a strange bird, indeed. If you’re new to Twitter and you don’t understand what you’re seeing, it can be rather intimidating, but used correctly, Twitter is a powerful marketing and community building tool. I dedicate a rather large section of my book Publishing & Marketing Realities for the Emerging Author to Twitter because…

    Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve been conducting an experiment, both here with Rowan of the Wood & a little more secretly with Publishing & Marketing Realities for the Emerging Author and over on O. M. Grey’s blog with Avalon Revisited. And as promised, today I’m posting the results of that experiment. The results are…
