On my friend’s Google Talk list on Gmail there is a name and on the left, where there will be a green circle for available or orange for idle, there is a red circle with a white slash through it. What does this mean?
On my Gmail it says it can either mean "busy" "chat me" [...]
Like say for instance, you told everyone you knew on facebook that you had finished your book and asked them to tell everyone they know, and so on and so on…and you came up with 4,000 to 5,000 potential buyers. Do they frown on this type of self-promotion?
Are you kidding, they love it. Any advance [...]
I am a writer of Christian, motivational books and children’s books. Is there a way to find a mentor for a new author for either?
Depending on what area you live in, see if you can find (or form) a writing group. There are lots of forums (Absolute Write, for example), and Livejournal communities [...]
Or do you think they do too little to spread the word?
If they have a publisher – a real publisher – then the vast majority of promotion, and ALL advertising, is taken care of by the publisher’s own PR team. Authors don’t even have much of a say in how their work is promoted, let [...]
Im 13 and I’m looking for a good romance book similar to Nicholas Sparks books. I loved The Last Song and would like to read more books like it. I have read the Twilight series, The Hunger Games series, and other Nicholas Sparks books. Suggestions?

I know it’s not easy. I’m just looking for publishers who still accept manuscripts from non-published authors. I can’t afford an agent or to self publish. Does anybody have any ideas?
Also, I’m thirteen, so would that affect it? As such, I have no real qualifications, but my grammar’s fine, I’ve been in set 1 since [...]
Slash is a rock god. Usher is just another pop "sensation" that no one will remember in ten years.
Clown Baby, you said it. Fergie did a terrible job of singing Sweet Child O’ Mine, but I will cut them some slack as at least their performance wasn’t lip-synced. I could tell because Fergie’s mic wasn’t [...]
My old brushed motor got wore out. I am looking for a brushless motor that has good power and goes fast that a traxxas slash can handle at low cost (around $70).
Any seggustions?
I would get the VXL Velineon system by Traxxas. For one, it’s waterproof. What more could you ask for. It’s [...]
A book that ensures economic potentially massive sales. The seed money can give the editors
Sorry for my English

Deale Donals Whalsh received a million dollars, and was new author …

No book ‘ensures’ massive sales.
Huge advances are exceptionally rare, and for new authors, almost unheard of. You’d be very lucky to get as much as £1,000, to [...]
Ok, I’ve just finished my third manuscript, now I’m wondering if there is any publishing houses that are willing to accept new unknown authors because from what I’ve read, there aren’t too many.
Sure, publishing houses are looking for new talent all the time. The best way to get published is to find an [...]
