The WordForge

Let's talk this time about Regin Hamsand, the 'classic' redemption arc character from "The Forgemaster Cycle'.

The Wordforge returns! And.. in the last year or so AI has come on strong. Should you be worried as a writer? Why I'm not, and what I use AI tools for in my writing.

A bit about knowing when to walk away from a project, Kindle Vella, and why to always read your competition. 

The joys of advertising books. What you need to know about Amazon and Facebook ads, and a bit about the wild world of social media for authors. And of course why I think tweets about Books are in fact, useless.

This week, keywords! KDP keywords that is. Also, a bit more about scams, and how best to avoid being taken for a ride by those who aren't out to do anything but take your money. 

What does Wide vs. Narrow mean when it comes to self publishing? Why book length matters in this case and what you need to know about how Amazon handles those who don't follow the rules. (It's bad for you, just a hint.)

Cover art! Where to get it, what kinds, tips on getting it made, and what the various kinds of covers are and do. Also, a bit more about traditional publishing vs self publishing.

The joys of editing, what are beta readers, and why you really need an editor, even if you don't think you need one.

Introduction, what the Wordforge is, and how it helps you, as a first time writer. Also will include bits about my stories, world building and background information.
