Writing Tools Release Day

Announcing the release of Writing Tools: 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing: Writing and Marketing Better Books.

Release day for Writing Tools

Writing tools, 26 ways to improve your writing is now available on Amazon.comWhen I accepted the task of participating in this year’s AtoZChallenge, I didn’t know what I faced. I almost didn’t enter, as I found out about the annual event at the last minute. I had no idea the twenty-six blogs I wrote as a way to train myself to blog more often would turn into my latest release, Writing Tools.

My New Year’s resolution for 2017 was to blog twice a week—Mondays and Thursdays. Like all good intentions, it quickly fell apart. When I saw a Tweet in late March about the AtoZChallenge, I thought, Why not? If nothing else, blogging every day would (almost) be the same as participating in NaNoWriMo, which I’ve done several times, officially, in my old writing group, and on my own.

Writing Tools: The Challenge

I’m not going to lie, it was a challenge. Not only did I have to write every day, I had to publish every day. And find appropriate images (thank you Pixabay and Canva), and spread the news through various social media outlets.

Editing for Red Riding Hood and the Lone Wolf was pushed back a month. Thank goodness I’d published Snow White and the Eighth Dwarf In March, so I was “between” books and had time to spare.

The most challenging aspect of blogging every day was finding subject for those awkward letters—Q, X, Z, but I persevered. (maybe with a little cheating when it came to J).

I banked a few days and pre-scheduled blogs as I faced a four day grand-babysitting job in the middle of the month (my son and daughter-in-law celebrated their tenth anniversary with a trip to California). At the end of the month I’d proven I could write 1,000-1,500 words on random subjects, publish and promote them.

A Big Thank You to BlogChatter

For unknown and mysterious reasons, when I signed up for the challenge, I did so under the umbrella of theblogchatter.com, a blogging powerhouse based in India. I received awesome support, met brilliant writers, and received free promotion on their website.

In May, they announced they would host our books if we wanted to compile our twenty-six blogs into a book. Heck, yeah, why not? I formatted my blogs, made a cover (thank you Canva) that complemented my other non-fiction book, The Plot Thickens: 21 Ways to Plot Your Novel (what is it with numbers in titles?), and sent it to blogchatter, which hosted it as a free giveaway for two months.

The Next Step

With encouragement from blogchatter and using the experience I’ve received from publishing my other books, I’ve uploaded Writing Tools to Amazon. I hope you’ll download it and benefit from the tips, techniques, and tools I’ve discovered over my eighteen year writing career.

From the blurb:

” . . . a valuable collection of tips for all aspiring authors, content writers, digital marketing students and anyone who wants to know the precious tools in the content marketing world.” —soulmom.in

If you’ve written a book and seek ways to improve it and, once published, how to market it, Writing Tools has the answers.

Praise for Writing Tools, 26 Tips on How to Improve Your Writing:

It has all the necessary points for non-fiction writers and fiction writers. And the most important of all . . . to promote your published work.

It is easy to read, has some great insights with a dash of unexpected humour, and a ready-made cheat sheet to help you market your book better.

A Special Thank You

In conjunction with the release of Writing Tools, I’m re-releasing The Plot Thickens at a special price of 99 cents (down from $2.99). The book has been re-formated, re-indexed, and I’ve added images. If you’ve ever wanted to write a book but didn’t know where to start, The Plot Thickens offers 21+ ways to plot your book and get you started on the path to publication.

Please consider buying either or both of my books. And, as always, if you do purchase, please leave a review, however short. Reviews help Amazon bring better books to you.

Thank you and many blessings,

Cheryl

    You are amazing, Cheryl. You not only took the challenge (and succeeded), you now have a new non-fiction book. I read several of those blogs in April and any writer who purchases your book will be learning a great deal about the craft. Wishing you much success with the book.
