Hi India,
Did I see a mention on your blog before that you design websites for writers? If so, my email is info@oliveobrien.com
I just have one or two questions to ask you.
Thanks!
Olive

Such great advice! I have to say that I’m proud of myself, I’ve been helping writer friends out and hadn’t even realized it! I was so excited that they even said yes to be interviewed that I didn’t realize how much I actually helped them in the process. I’m only missing the review on Amazon.com so I’ll be sure to stop by from here on out and help out my blogger friend!

Some great books out there, I would hate for no one to know about them!

Great post and I probably fall into the bad friend category although I do try to buy, rate and review when I have the time. Brill tips!

Thanks India, I hope this post is still available by the time I need it for myself, but luckily I can already use the advice with people I know who are getting published.

As they said in the Godfather:

“It’s business”

So when you’re in business, mean business.

OK, well, then — I was gonna say, *When your book comes out, please send…*

Never mind.

Great advice for all of us. Two *vernacular* poems are being published in the annual Woody Guthrie Anthology and I’m as happy as if they were novels. [Not as easy as it looks, boys and girls.]

Great information, India. I’ve wondered how to help fellow friends. Because I’ve decided my blog format would be very specific, I haven’t done interviews or traditional reviews. (Why am I so stubborn?) But I have given shout-outs. I should do more with Amazon.

And because I love my blogging community, I have the published books on my wishlist or pre-order. Now I have to shop, read, and review on Amazon.
