Sandy Hook[Below is what I had planned to post originally, prior to December 14th. It seems insensitive somehow for me to just post it and not pay my respects to those who lost their lives so tragically last week. So please, join me for just a moment, in a thoughtful moment of silence. RIP, little angels, you and your valiant protectors.

Thank you.]

I know, I know–another short post. You may be asking yourself, “What’s wrong with Julia? Is she sick?”

No, I’m not. It’s the holidays, and family is taking the front seat right now, as it should. So instead of a long post, I want to share with you instead the long-awaited, much-anticipated video of my most recent appearance on the “It’s A Woman’s World” show with two amazing and inspiring fellow writers, Betty Liedtke and Dara Beevas. If these two women don’t make you want to jump up and write RIGHT THIS MINUTE–well, don’t quit your day job just yet.

Enjoy!

Leave a reply

wise inkHappy Monday, everyone!

I will get back to recapping 2012 here later this week, but today, I’m so excited to share with you an interview I did for the outstanding Wise, Ink blog, with Beaver’s Pond Press’ Dara Beevas, author of The Indie Author Revolution. We had a marvelous chat via Skype about ways to market E-Books and had a lot of fun and laughs. The audio’s a little uneven, but Dara did an excellent recap in the accompanying post. Enjoy!

 

 

Let the Revolution Begin!

Kudos to Beaver’s Pond Press today, for their wonderful Indie Author Summit 2012. This event blew me away, bringing together experts from every aspect of the publishing business–publicists, editors, social media gurus, speakers and of course, authors–to continue to foment the literary revolution already well under way. More and more authors are deciding to skip traditional publishing routes altogether, abandoning agents and query letters for independence and control over their work, and the attendees this morning couldn’t have been happier.

Still, it’s a wild, wild world out there at the moment, so giving us indie authors a morning of open access to folks like author Beth Bednar; Dara M. Beevas, VP of Beaver’s Pond Press and author of The Indie Author Revolution: An Insider’s Guide to Self-Publishing; digital content products expert Eric Christopher of Ugly Dog Digital; performance coach, Deirdre Van Nest; online media expert Jorgy Jorgensen of Agent41; PR expert Sara Lien (Lien Public Relations);and social media expert Tai Goodwin provided helpful answers and meaningful support for every step of the self-publishing journey.

Best of all, though? This event was fun and funny. “Write the damned book!” “Self-publishing is a contact sport!” “A quote from my aunt, Maya Angelou. Actually, she’s not, I just like to call her that.” I just love it when an event turns out to be not just as good as I hoped it might be, but even better. Woohoo! I’m feelin’ all Che Guevara now, and ready to revolt!
