"For new authors, or published authors uncertain how to use the internet
to grow their careers, Lida Quillen's Practical Tips for Online Authors
is a useful resource packed with timely information. ...Filled with
enthusiasm and solid knowledge, Practical Tips for Online Authors is a
must read."
Reviewed by Cindy Penn, Word Weaving.
As a book reviewer, I pride myself on the speed with which I can read a book - not this one. It took me HOURS to read. Why? Because I had to stop every couple of pages, dial up the internet and visit links that were so pertinent to my career that I could not wait till I had finished the book.
I am not exaggerating. Every new topic combines invaluable advice and really clever tips with absolutely awesome links. I consider myself a professional writer, and having done most of my writing almost exclusively online for the past few years, I thought I knew it all - how wrong I was. Lida has some brilliant strategies for marketing, promotion and research that had never occurred to me before.
But this book isn't just for professional writers, as she starts with the very basics and proceeds from there.
...Lida is full of great suggestions for getting your work known. With
some very impressive guest writers, she includes advice on query letters and
marketing your books.
..."Practical Tips for Online Authors" is worth its weight in gold - definitely a 'must-have' resource!

At this price, you can’t go wrong even if you are only curious about
writing. Lida is the Publisher of Twilight Times Books, so she knows her
topic from first hand experience, so you can be assured that this is a
well thought out volume. Highly recommended by Baryon.

While unabashedly geared for the "prepublished" ebook author of speculative
fiction, much of the advice crosses genre boundaries and proves useful to
writers aiming for traditional print markets, as well. In fact, with the
Internet becoming a major force in the world of book marketing, authors at
all rungs of the literary ladder of success will benefit from this handy and
well-organized reference. The hypertext references make it easy to skip to
specific topics within the book....

about the legend of Guinevere garnering rave reviews and award nominations
from romance and fantasy venues alike.
Publisher's Note:
Practical Tips for Online Authors contains dozens of low-cost or
no-cost marketing and promo ideas from several published authors along with
