In his new book, Destiny’s Voyage: SS Atlantic, Titanic of 1873, author Robert “Bob” Love tells the story of the world’s worst non-military sea disaster prior to the RMS Titanic in 1912.

How to Write an Author’s Bio that Stands Out and Attracts Readers
Self Publishing Advisor
by selfpublishingadvisor
1y ago
It’s easy to overlook the author’s bio. Often, they’re tucked into the back of a book or at the bottom of an article. Yet, a bio is necessary if you’re publishing a book and want to make writing a career. If you have no bio, readers may be puzzled by its absence. If your bio is bad, then your readers may put down your book. If you put in the work to craft a solid author bio that stands out, it will pique the interest of potential readers, and it may even help you sell more copies. Thankfully, an author bio is way easier than writing a book. However, even with that in mind, there are some guide ..read more

Why Self-Publishing Writers Need a Style Sheet
Self Publishing Advisor
by selfpublishingadvisor
1y ago
Professionally published books are edited with a document little known to the public: the style sheet. A style sheet is a list of terms, rules, and preferences used for editing. This sheet helps with correctness and consistency, as grammatically correct yet inconsistent writing can distract readers. All traditional publishers create style sheets with their authors at the beginning of the editorial process and pass it down to copyeditors and proofreaders. But many self-publishing writers neglect the style sheet. Either they self-edit without any outside help or hire an editor who doesn’t use th ..read more

Scrivener vs. yWriter: Which Word Processor for Authors Is Yours
Self Publishing Advisor
by selfpublishingadvisor
1y ago
Here’s the hard truth: most writing software out there isn’t made for book authors. Most digital writers use one of the default word processing programs, like Microsoft Word, Pages from Apple, or Google Docs. Many users find one of the default programs to be enough. However, even these powerful tools show their cracks once your file hits a specific size. Many writers can testify to the headaches of a document becoming sluggish as its page count expands into the hundreds. Then you’re faced with either bearing the slowness or splitting the manuscript file into chapters or sections, which becomes ..read more

What to Expect When Hiring a Copyeditor
Self Publishing Advisor
by selfpublishingadvisor
1y ago
If you only get to choose one collaborator to hire for your self-published book, I recommend that you get a copy editor. A paradox of editing your work is that you won’t be as effective as an outside perspective with fresh eyes. Even if you are a trained editor (and most authors aren’t!), you’ll skip over many of your errors because you’re too familiar with your writing. You can hire editors at different levels, but I’ll focus on the copy editor: an editor who handles everything from typos and grammar errors to the structure and organization of the manuscript. The task can be daunting if you h ..read more
