The Writer as Entrepreneur in conjunction with Mslexia Magazine - Tues 10 July

Starting on Tuesday 10 July over four consecutive days, I will be posting up my interviews with three self-published authors and a book publishing insider on what it takes to self-publish your novel and act as publisher, sales director and publicist to get your product out to the great reading public. This project is in conjunction with Mslexia, the quarterly journal for women writers - Mslexia is publishing my article on The Writer as Entrepreneur in this month’s issue of the magazine and in an innovative initiative, they - and my interviewees - have agreed to my making my research for that article available online at Fusion View.

To find out more about Mslexia, go to their website at www.mslexia.co.uk.

The latest issue of Mslexia is now available. I will be posting up my resources to co-incide with the publication of this July edition as follows:

Tues 10 July - Interview with Julie Noble, author of Talli’s Secret
Wed 11 July - Interview with Scott Pack, ex-Managing Buyer at Waterstone’s and now Commercial Director of The Friday Project

Also, are you an “enterprising writer”? Have you worked hard to self-publish, market and sell your book? On Tuesday, I will be inviting submissions from Enterprising Writers to share your story on Fusion View - come back on Tuesday to find out more!

Mslexia is a fantastic quarterly journal for women writers, with news about what’s happening in the UK publishing industry and topical features which are hugely relevant to all writers and women writers in particular. It cost just over £18 for an annual subscription if you are in the UK and is really worth that minimal cost. It is published in hard copy and will be posted to you once a quarter. I was a subscriber for years before they invited me to write the Entrepreneur article and it really kept me abreast of all the hot issues for writers in an in-depth and informed way. If you’re not already a subscriber, go to their website and check it out.
