By: David Urmann | - A fictional history is a portion of a book endearing to readers, becoming popular and timeless in a way that people can not forget it; and thus, it is somehow thought to be real. There are various stories and books that fall under this category such as the story of Merlin, Mary Magdalene ad The Da Vinci Code among others.

- Stories Of The Famous Fictional History Books
By: David Urmann | - Fictional history is a section of a novel based on real facts but the storyline being an imagination of the author only. It confuses some readers but it is a good strategy to incite interest and gain a following.
It may be based on real past events yet the story itself was revised such that it is still classified as fictional. Fictional history has been made timeless and endearing to all the people. It greatly influences the beliefs formed in the minds of the readers or viewers. ...

- Reading These Four Authors Of Classical Literature Will Enable Anyone To Become A Better Writer
By: Robert L. Bacon | - From academicians to book critics to laic readers, each is often eager to recommend a list of authors who will provide aspiring writers with a sound foundation from which to build. Any suggestions should be revered, and it would be ridiculous for one person to state that her/his idea of quality prose is better than another's.
However, there are four aspects of the craft of writing that many who understand literature would argue have never been better addressed: Steinbeck's pe ...

- What Do Article Directory Publishers Expect From Authors?
By: Mike Lawson | - Article marketing remains one of the steadfast, true-blue marketing methods on the Internet. There are, however, certain things you must do to insure success at it. Equally important are things to avoid if you wish to garner the best results from your efforts.
As a professional writer, editor and article directory publisher, I hold the qualifications to speak on this topic with some authority. I am sure every publisher has their own quirks that annoy the bejeebers out of them. I k ...

- Book Distributors And What They Can Do For Your Book
By: Lynne Klippel | - Many new authors are mystified about how in the world to get their books into a bookstore.
While is it fairly easy to list your book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online, getting your book into a physical bookstore is very difficult for a new, self-published author.
According to Eric Kampmann, principal of MidPoint Trade Books, large bookstore chains are not interested in dealing with self-publishers or even small independent publishers. They are reluctant because ...

- Bookmarks: An Old Fashioned Yet Effective Way To Promote Your Book
By: Lynne Klippel | - One of the benefits of working as a publisher is the ability to watch different marking campaigns and see how they work. Quite a few of my authors are having good results using bookmarks to promote their books.
Bookmarks used to be standard items in every library, school, and home. Did your teachers admonish you to stop bending the corners of a book page and to use a bookmark instead? Mine did. Books were expensive and to be treated with care.
Even if you never ...

- Get In The Express Lane: How To Use The Internet Superhighway To Fuel Book Promotion
By: Author Terra Little | - More and more, the Internet is the method of choice for staying up-to-date on what happens in the world, and that includes the literary world. Because readers and writers connect online on a global scale, strategic online book promotion is no longer just an option, but a necessity. Overlooking one of the fastest growing, consumer-driven venues for promotion can mean the difference between relative obscurity and notoriety.
Luckily, there are a variety of highly effective, budget-fr ...

By: The Cayman Host | - As a firm believer in the power of article marketing and an editor of a general article directory this article has been slowly simmering away inside me for some time now.
The issue I want to address is the appalling quality of so much of the writing that has slowly but insidiously penetrated the whole article industry.

- Become An Author - How Rich Authors Make Their Fortunes
By: Bob Burnham | - There are literally thousands of published authors. The difference between the rich ones and the broke ones is literally how they play the game. Here are three key factors that differentiate rich authors from the broke ones.
Rich authors make their fortune by using their book as a business card. Rich authors know that a book is only as successful as the number of people who know about it, have bought it, or have read it. The more people who know about your book, the mor ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Nonsense
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Many would-be writers and aspiring authors have a very negative view of Traditional Publishers. This is often because they experience their work being rejected regularly ' often on the flimsiest of grounds ' but also it may be because, almost without fail, the 'advice' offered by the publisher to the person submitting the work is pure nonsense.
An example of the former occurred to me just a few years ago. I submitted a plan for a novel and a sample of the work, consisting of sever ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Cut-offs
By: Mike Scantlebury | - When our children were younger, and still at High School, we moved house. The new place was further away from the school, and they told us that there might be financial help available for us towards the cost of our kids' new bus fares, which would, of course, be more expensive. We were sent a letter. It said that money was paid to people who lived '8 miles away and further'. We measured the journey in the car and it certainly seemed about that distance. Weeks later we got another letter. Our app ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Timing
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Of all the useless advice given to would-be authors, perhaps the most unhelpful is the idea that to be a successful author you need 'timing'. That is, your great idea for a novel has to hit the public consciousness at a time that makes your story relevant to them. An example might be, for instance, that right now, in the autumn months of 2007, I'm working on a thriller that starts from the proposition that Princess Diana was deliberately murdered in 1997 in Paris by a combination of national sec ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Advice
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Most writers in England waste a lot of their time posting off extracts of their exciting new manuscripts to publishers. Most of the time these would-be authors see their work come winging back, unwanted. That's annoying enough in itself, but in some cases there is an even more unwelcome addition advice. 'Try a larger publishing house' says the note. That's meant to be helpful? Which publisher do they have in mind? What makes them think the other guys would want something that people here have d ...

- Internet Authors Are Market Traders
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Picture the scene. You jump into your car and drive out to the nearest supermarket, maybe part of the local shopping mall. As you drive in through the gate of the car park, you notice a number of scruffy market stalls on the roadway outside the store. Who are these people? If you've ever been abroad to a hot, fly-ridden Third World country, you know that sometimes scroungers and beggars hang around in the street outside the expensive tourist hotels. It looks a bit like that. The market traders s ...

- Internet Authors Live In The Present
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Internet Authors are living in the present? They have to. In fact, any author needs to think about what's happening now, right now, this minute. Whether it's thinking about how to finish a chapter, or whether their character suddenly became unbelievable, or how the dialogue sounds. When they're hunched over their new creation, they need to be there, really be there, in the here and now.
Traditional Publishers, on the other hand, are lurking somewhere in the 1950s, most of them. So ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Money
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Perhaps the biggest surprise to all would-be writers and first-time authors is that they don't need to spend a pile of money to see their brand new book get into print. You can do it through the internet these days for practically nothing, probably for not more than the price of each book itself. Look at it another way: most aspiring authors imagine that one day they can go into their local bookshop and see their own books up there, on the shelves, alongside all the other great and famous people ...

- Internet Authors Don't Need Patrons
By: Mike Scantlebury | - One of the biggest lies that Traditional Publishers peddle to would-be authors is that things 'have always been this way'. That's historically inaccurate. What we call 'publishing' is a recent invention. It didn't exist before the development of what we now call the novel, long fiction pieces that involve either an omniscient author or a psychologically aware narrator. That happened around the middle of the 1700s, and when the form became very popular with readers, some businessmen saw the possi ...

By: Mike Scantlebury | - There are plenty of people out there who've written a book. Maybe you're one of them. Maybe you've thought of trying to get it published, (not on the internet, but with a real, live, bricks-and-mortar publisher). OK. First step? You need advice. You trot along to your local bookshop and start looking along the shelves until you find titles like 'Getting Published for Dummies' and 'Seeing Your Book in Print for Complete Fools'. Trouble is, there is no way on earth that anybody can write a formula ...

- Internet Authors Aren't Losers
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Ask the majority of so-called 'gurus' to talk about business or self-improvement, and here's a funny thing. They start talking about sport. That's odd. Sport isn't the same as life. It's completely different. As Brian Tracey says, in sport you get three chances to hit the baseball and then you're out, but in life you can go up to the mound as many times as you've got the energy and the inclination, try hitting the ball, miss and still keep coming back for more. Or, to be precise, keep on swingin ...

- Internet Authors Aren't Carnivores
By: Mike Scantlebury | - When vegetarians want to be insulting, they call anyone who disagrees with them a 'carnivore'. That's inaccurate. No human being is a carnivore. People are omnivores. Generally speaking, -if you look around the world - you see that people eat both meat and vegetables, also fruit, nuts, and in most cultures, dairy products. If you want to find a carnivore, you'll have to look at wild dogs and big cats, like lions and tigers. Small predators, like foxes, have been seen to eat roots and plants whe ...

By: Mike Scantlebury | - Previously in 'The 7 levels of publishing'
The First Level of Publishing is to receive a single copy of a book. The Second Level of Publishing is when you receive five copies. The Third Level of Publishing is when you want 50 copies. The Fourth Level of publishing is when you aim for sales of 500 copies. Level Five is where a single book's sales amount to five thousand copies.
Traditional Publishers want Level Six, at least, that is, sales of fifty thousand. Even t ...

- Internet Authors Are The New Slush Pile
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Traditional Publishers are strange people. They have a habit of wanting everything - even if it's completely contradictory. For instance, I've just read an article where an established publisher was complaining that the standard of books published on the internet was 'very low'. He said that he'd checked out various author's web sites and was moved to 'get his editing pen out'. He wanted to correct all the grammatical errors, tighten up the plotting and improve the characters. He also said: 'All ...

Now - Part Two.
The Fourth Level of publishing is next. For the Self-Publisher or Internet Publisher, this is when they aim for sales of 500 copies. This means they have exhausted friends and family, all of them, including long-lost aunts, uncles, and peop ...

- Why Internet Authors Don't Need Surfers
By: Mike Scantlebury | - Let's imagine what it would be like if an internet surfer read a novel in the same way they viewed the web. Just to make it interesting, let's imagine it's the sort of book I write, a murder mystery.
The surfer clicks on a page and finds that he's arrived at Chapter 5. He discovers the hero is already on the case, relentlessly pursuing the murderer of Imogen Halstead, rich heiress (Who? The surfer has no idea who this is, for a start). Worse, he has no idea why Inspector Chancely ...

- Why Internet Authors Don't Need Critics
By: Mike Scantlebury | - I love to help people, and I'm always ready to give advice to people who ask.
For instance, there's a lot of people out there seeking advice because they've written a book. A lot of people. Almost as many as the number of people who give advice to people - who've written books. Most of that advice is meant to be helpful, but is, quite frankly, wrong.
For instance, I saw an article the other day which said that it 'was OK to publish on the internet', (which is patron ...

- Last 10 Authors - Microsoft Word How To
By: Jon Rowe. | - Many computer forensic examiners and attorneys are aware that metadata is valuable to many corporate cases. Metadata is the information stored within Microsoft Office and other files that can tell when files were created, edited, printed, stored and dozens of other facts.
One of the most valuable areas of information is referred to as 'Last 10 Authors'. Last 10 Authors/Locations is an area of a Microsoft Word file that, as it states, stores the last 10 authors and locations for th ...

- How To Get Celebrity Endorsements And Testimonials For Your Books
By: Jordan McAuley | - Getting a celebrity, notable VIP, or leader in your field to give your book a short testimonial or endorsement (sometimes called a "blurb") is a great way to boost sales and garner extra publicity. Remember that this is a trade-off. You get a testimonial for your book, and the endorser gets additional exposure and/or credibility. Below is the five-step process I teach authors and writers:
1) Choose potential endorsers based on your book's subject.
