Editor’s Don’t Kill Your Dreams and a Royalty Statement from a NY Best Seller

Hey guys, I had a fabulous time at our TARA retreat this past weekend with Amy Pierpont, Christina Dodd, and Connie Brockway. The spa where we held the retreat was amazing, the food, oh-my-god yummy, and spending time with everyone…priceless. I’ll post more about it this week.

Today I want to leave you with a couple of links that I think every writer and reader should read. A very brave (and fabulous) author is sharing her royalty statement on a NY best selling book. Check it out here</a> and an editor talks about not being the one to crush your dreams here.

Check them out and come back and let us know your thoughts.

And my winner from the box-o-books…yeah, so sorry, but I will get them in the mail this week.

xoxoxo,

Vicki

  1. Both very true. Writing is a hard business. You think you have it made once you’re pubbed, but that is so not the case. Only one in a hundred who get pubbed will end up really making a career our of writing (and I totally made that statistic up, but it sounds about right…um…maybe two)

    And getting pubbed is hard work. It’s fall down, get up again, trip and take a header, get up again. Thank goodness we have friends to help us on our way. To kiss our boo-boos and tell us how great we are. Cause without that, I’d probably just stay down.

    Glad you had a fun retreat, Vicki!
