Author Platform #004: eWriting

… a fresh approach to creating an eBook
Sales of ebooks are predicted to overtake paperback books by 2014. For authors especially, simply to bury your head in the sand by saying you prefer a printed book is not an option. Aside from any other consideration, increased royalties make writing with the ‘ereader’ in mind a prudent [...]

Author Platform #003: eReading

If I was writing this article just five years ago, when asked what an ebook is, I would probably have said a PDF. Where PDF is an acronym for Portable Document Format which, unlike say an Word document, is read-only and retains all the source formatting and layout.
Nowadays, with the increasing ubiquity of ereaders, it might [...]

Addicted to Wedding Cake

I’m thrilled to have been able to help new author Keith Churchouse publish his second book this year on the Amazon Kindle – and via the Kindle app, on the iPhone and iPad too.

Well I’ve discovered using this new type of tablet (and watch this space for the clones) ushers in a whole modus operandi.

In short, it’s brilliant [...]

The iPad: a writer’s toolbox?

It’s arrived at last and it was definitely worth the wait. My decision not to buy one of the excellent ereaders like the Kindle or the Cool-er has proved to be right. My e-Writer has arrived in the form of an iPad.

From a creative writer’s perspective, just being able to read on the go is less [...]

iPad: five killer apps for authors

As I mentioned in my earlier blog – Do iPad or Do I Kindle? – the iPad delivers something very specific for authors that ereaders don’t…
- quite simply, it’s the ability to write.

Will I be getting one? You bet!

Will I wait a while? Yes too as I specifically want it do act as my mobile writing [...]
