Last week I posted news that I’m writing a blog from the point of view of one of my characters, which garnered a fair amount of interest, especially as an exercise in finding your character’s voice. A week later I have more to share with you. Here’s what I’ve found out: A micro-blog is easier [...] Related posts:
Why should I blog? If you want to get published, you need a platform to prove your books have a waiting readership. Agents and publishers who are interested in your manuscript will check to see what kind of online presence you have to gauge how media-savvy you are and whether you will be a good investment [...] Related posts:

I usually do a short summary of the chat when I post a transcript, but this week I’m going to leave it to @HeatherMcCorkle, who posted a summary on her blog, the appropriately named Scribe Sisters. Many thanks, Heather, for the great write up! Transcript: Irresistible Book Titles: How To Find One and Why You Should Bother Irresistible [...] Related posts:
Tonight on #ScribeChat we’ll be looking at how to pitch an entire novel in one sentence. Impossible, you say. No, not impossible, though it is REALLY hard to do. So why bother?

This is fantastic! I’m recommeding this post to every blogger I know. Now, to get ready for the chat!

Eventually, you will get paid for this little service you provide. I got a $100 gift card from Google in the form of free advertisement for my blog. This can put you directly onto search engines.
Just an FYI.

Claudine and Jevon, your praise is golden!
Hey Lia… I agree with you that its important to build an effective writer’s blog as we are investing time and effort in creating an online presence. So unless it attracts loyal followers and readers it will be a sheer waste of time.
The most effective way of doing that is by keeping a blog, reader friendly and easy to navigate. The topics should not only interest the readers but invite active participation by way of comments.
