In reply to MaryTate Engels. Thanks for sharing your golden lines, MaryTate. There were always at least two sessions during every hour that I would have liked to attend. I guess I was spoiled because before we were Writers in the Storm and "just" a critique group, we attended the RWA D.C. conference together. Between the (then) four of us, we "attended" every session we wanted to hear!

Thanks Fae. I was inspired by the wealth of information for self-pubbed authors and their successes at this 2014 conference. Marie Force detailed how to treat your writing as a business. Courtney Milan & Hugh Howey - write long & short so you can have something new out there every 90 days. Howey revelation - there is no backlist online! It's all new to the Reader who discovers you. He also talked (as S Axelrod has) about how the publishing companies' business model is flawed. And how we writers have just accepted this as the only way. Now we have new information to digest!

Thanks for more tips, Carolyn. I didn't attend that session, but I heard the same advice in others. either release in a group or release titles in quick succession to build buzz between titles.

I liked Deanna Chase's advice to release frequently, putting out at least 2 novels and a novella per year, and making sure you release something every three months. (One release could be a bundle.) She also said to put buy links for your next book at the end of each one, and to hire cover work and formatting so you'll have time to write.

In reply to Fae Rowen. Definitely. The trailer for Zach Braff's (Scrubs and Garden State) new film, Wish I Was Here, is full on amazing one liners.
