I have a long list of favorite authors and it’s hard to keep up with ALL OF THEM, so I am hoping to find a website that will just email me when a new book is coming out. So far i have tried Amazon and Borders but nothing that will allow me to enter which [...]
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 [...]
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?

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 [...]
Some to help with how to write and publish. Some to cross reference so you don’t accidentally think you make up something that’s already copyrighted.
Firstly, if you came up with an idea, then chances are thousands of other people came up with that same idea and you’ll most likely find books (plural) that carry that [...]
I have previously read most or all of these authors books:

Thanks for all the suggestions
