I love regularly reading tips and advice articles in certain subjects — particularly writing and publishing. I don’t always need the information right then, but I know that it’ll eventually come in handy. Or at least, I hope it will.
I know there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same way I do, but sometimes it can be difficult to find every useful advice article that’s out there. So I thought I’d bring you a few. Here are the tips and advice articles that jumped out at me the most over the past week.
- Multi-book Deals, from Janet Reid: You hear a lot about multi-book deals. But do you know why they may be preferred over a single-book deal? Excerpt: “If Book #1 tanks, the publisher does NOT recoup the advance (the author does not need to repay it) but there probably aren’t going to be any royalties. Notice, this has nothing to do with Book #2.”

Traditional publishing models are built on a book-by-book basis. They have a completely different marketing scheme, advertisement regime, and promotional tactics than independent authors.
