	How to Fail & Keep on Writing	by DeAnna Knippling June 07, 2011	$0.99	14964 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Every summer as kids, we would host one group of cousins or another and jump off hay bales, create mazes by crawling the patterns through the tall grass, and steal green apples out of the garden. We also branded calves, killed chickens, and stole steak knives to threaten skunks with. But that's growing up on a farm for you. Now I write fantasy, science fiction, and horror--and most of it comes from the worlds that I created as a farm kid, one way or another. My first novel, Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse, was published by Doom Press in 2010 and can be purchased through Meta Geek. "This is how I like my zombies: fast and funny. Choose this book, and you won't be choosing your doom. You'll be choosing hours of gooey, gory hilarity." - Steve Hockensmith, New York Times best-selling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls My short story, “The End of the World,” about fairies on the Great Plains, received an honorable mention in Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year, Vol. 3. I also write murder-mystery party games for Freeform Games in the UK. See my website and blog at deannaknippling.com.

People Magazine "A marvelously complex plot...A thoroughly good time." The New York Times Book Review "Irresistible...It's hard not to get caught up in the frenzy." Los Angeles Times "The plot lines are ingeniously and meticulously drawn." Cleveland Plain Dealer "A master of complex plotting" Booklist Michael comments: People frequently ask me whether I started BusinessGhost.com deliberately or whether I fell into it. I’d like to tell you that I had a master plan, but that’s not exactly how things happened. I received my J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1985 and went to work as an attorney in Boston. There were only two problems—I didn’t like being a lawyer, and I kept failing the Bar. And this is in Massachusetts, where the only people who regularly fail the Bar aside from me…are the Kennedys. Two years after graduating from Columbia, I was all but unemployable in Boston’s tight-knit legal community. No matter—I was in my late twenties, had minimal financial responsibilities (aside from student loans, of course), and had already sold three books, including two novels to Simon & Schuster. I figured that if I didn’t try to make it as a writer now, I never would. Unfortunately, within four years, at the same time that my Columbia classmates were making partners at their firms, I was a starving writer literally. I was dead broke, and actually qualified for heating assistance in Massachusetts, because my annual income was so low. Sixteen years ago, I met a man who became my business mentor and one of my best friends to this day. A highly successful restaurant owner, he told me that he had mentored a lot of creative people and that “You can’t do your best creative work when you’re wondering about how you’re going to pay your rent or put food on the table.” He sat me down in the Dunkin’ Donuts in Cleveland Circle and showed me how to value my time in a business sense. He suggested that I offer private writing classes, because that would keep me involved with what I loved, writing, and would also bring in enough money to pay for my life so that I could keep on pursuing my dream with making it as a published author. I rented space in a yoga studio, bought a white board and chairs, created fliers, and traipsed around the city of Boston, sticking my fliers in every store that would let me, while listening to Steven Covey’s “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People” on my Walkman. I initially offered two six-week classes at $150 per student. I filled the classes, taught them, and the two classes became four, and then six, and then eight, and I was now running a successful teaching business. The best news of all was that I still had time to write, and I wasn’t starving anymore! In addition to teaching my own private classes, I was flying out to Southern California three times a year to teach writing classes at UCLA, and before long, I received an invitation to teach writing at New York University as well. My students began to ask me to consult with them on their manuscripts, and before long, they also invited me to co-write or ghostwrite their books for them. At the same time, my own writing career took off, and over the years, I have published a total of six novels, including three with Simon & Schuster and two with Putnam/Berkley, and nonfiction books with a variety of other publishers. My own work has been published by Simon & Schuster, Random House, St. Martin’s Press, Beacon Press, and a variety of other top publishers. Over the years, I have also written for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CBS News, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, and a variety of other top outlets. I ghostwrote my first book in 1986 while still in “starving writer” phase. Since then, the writers on the BusinessGhost team, myself included, have ghostwritten more than forty books for our clients, who come from the fields of finance, entrepreneurship, consulting, health care, technology, real estate, psychology, body/mind/spirit, and other fields. Along the way, Disney optioned and made one of my novels into an ABC Sunday Night TV movie, Model Behavior. My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Hawaii when the movie was being shot in Toronto, so we cut short our time in Hawaii, flew to Toronto, and became extras in the movie. We only appear for a couple of seconds, but it’s long enough for our kids to get a big kick out of seeing us. (It’s only ten years ago, but we look so young!) I’ve also had the privilege of working with many celebrities, top athletes, and extraordinary individuals, including FBI super agent Joaquin Garcia, with whom I wrote the New York Times bestseller, Making Jack Falcone. That book tells the true story of Garcia’s experiences of spending two and a half years undercover with the Mafia while working four other major undercover cases at the same time. While juggling five different identities, as well as his marriage and family, my coauthor was only two weeks away from being proposed for full membership in the Mafia when the FBI pulled him off the case, mostly for bureaucratic reasons. Steven Soderbergh and Paramount bought the film rights to Garcia’s story, and So that’s where things stand today. BusinessGhost, Inc. has come a long way from those starving writer days back in Brookline, Massachusetts. Today, I have the unique privilege of serving a fascinating variety of highly successful, deeply knowledgeable individuals. Like you!

	Confessions and Secrets of the Avid Book Reviews Blogger: Book Bloggers Sell Books	by Lynnette Phillips March 23, 2011	$2.99	2516 words	Sample 30%
	Author bio: I've always loved books and reading. I can't remember when I didn't have a library card--libraries are just the most amazing places and librarians, being the most knowledgeable generous people I've had the privilege of meeting, deserve an exalted place in society. As the Avid Reader Book Reviews Blogger my book reviews and blog are widely read and followed by literary enthusiasts. I have also been invited to post guest blog posts for others, most lately by bestselling author CJ Lyons. The Avid Reader Book Reviews (AKA Avid Book Reviews) blog posts not only book reviews but also author interviews & readings (usually by video), information on libraries and literacy, book trailers, videos pertaining to anything related to books, and sponsored book giveaways. I am a multi-genre kind of gal but my favorites are mystery/suspense/thrillers, historical fiction, young adult… but my list favorites just keep growing. I am also author of Confessions & Secrets of the Avid Book Reviews Blogger serial which offer invaluable book marketing and promotional tips, available resources, how-to information and more. My newest launch entails book doctor services and I hope to eventually expand into more detailed coaching services. I will also soon be cohosting a BlogTalkRadio show which I'm very excited (and apprehensive) about. My blog covers book reviews and all things books; author interviews, author readings, book trailers and more. I view literacy as vital to life's adventures. Reading can give such amazing views, insights, enjoyment and even diversion. Some of my favorite genres for pleasure are historical fiction, legal thrillers, suspense and mysteries books. My life has been filled with different kinds of books though to match whatever was happening at the time...young motherhood, teaching aide, administrative assistant, student, researcher, legal assistant, realtor, writer...
	The illiterates guide to writing ebooks	by Jestin Lightner March 04, 2011	Free!	2479 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: I learned how to play guitar from the devil himself. I have a small music promotion company called Donut Incident. Feel free to check out it's myspace page and check out some new music from some awesome friends of mine. I wrote short stories and stuff for my D&D groups throughout the years and they were mostly oriented around the planes because planescape was cool back in the nineties and spelljammer was old. I also wrote a five hundred page poetry book based on love and LSD trips back in the nineties while I was playing in a band called Hollow and plotting to take over the music world from a garage and a donut shop. Whatever, later on in life I was sittin in jail and was like, wtf, I can write better than this crap they are force feeding us and so I started to finish The Shadowbelt after first developing the idea way back in the day and throwing up some chapters online back in my Ft. Myers days. Unfortunately the last half of the book went missing cause I'm a cluts so I have cut the second part back a bit and have rewritten it in a way cool fashion and it has taken a completely different turn for the better. Really happy with the results so please feel free to check out "The Shadowbelt 2 "Divided Wings". Anyone out there have any idea how many music videos have been based off of my work? It's been an honor and a privelege overall and I hope that even if you end up not liking my books you will at least get turned on to some cool music while you are here.

	How to be a Successful Writer	by Barbara Hayes Aug. 27, 2010	$7.90	36722 words	Sample 25%
	Author bio: Barbara Hayes worked on the editorial staff and spent many years writing stories and picture strip scripts for the Amalgamated Press, situated in Farringdon Street, which is round the corner from Fleet Street, London. Later Amalgamated Press became Fleetway Publications and subsequently part of the Daily Mirror IPC publishing group. Barbara was just in time to work with some of the old Fleet Street hacks in all their drunken glory before the move away from Fleet Street to modern technical respectability. She got advice straight from the lips of Hugh Cudlipp, the famous editor of the Daily Mirror, and became married to an Amalgamated Press editor, Leonard Matthews, who rose to be a managing editor and then an editorial director. Over the years she has had some 80 books and about 7300 scripts published by companies from England to Australia to South Africa to Florida and back to Holland. She likes to think of herself as an old hack writer who succeeded mainly because she always got her work in on time and the right length - but if you read on carefully you might find quite a few other hints to help you.
