    Online Book Signing - The Flaming Wrath of Árelor

    Hello. My publisher and I have recently scheduled an online book signing event. The idea is to replicate gatherings in which fans get to met the author and have their books autographed by the author. Since I cannot travel easily to the US, we came to a innovative compromise that works as...

    How to be a good books seller in a book store?

    In my experience, my favourite book sellers are those that know the product they are selling. That means that a good book seller is the one who knows when the next books of a certain series are going to be released, which books are good or bad and how the state of things in the book world is...

    The Foundation Series

    I started with the originals and got to the prequel later myself. I usually find it better to read the things in the order in which they were written.

    Which do you prefer; Thriller/Suspense or Bloody Gore Books??

    Gore for the love of gore is usually not very imaginative and does not build storyes by itself. Modern literature is mostly about the narration of the resolution of conflics, and that is what keeps people engaged. Things happening and the desire to know what is going to happen next.

    Help me find my new book please!!

    Starting weak from the begining is ok for games, but it is very badly done in films and literature. You end up thinking the character earnt his successes in an unfair or unbeliveable way. I mean, if he was a weak dude 20 pages ago, when he starts smashings dragons with a hand tied to his back...

    The Foundation Series

    I think those series are not bad at all. As with anything, there are strong opinions against the series and for the series. Still, I agree that the last books were not as good as the first ones (as explained above).

    Looking for proof-readers for a translation

    Crowdfunding, Yes or No?

    I like the idea of crowdfundig. My gov doesn't. Some Spanish publishers are just doing crwodfunding under a different name. They usually achieve good results.

    Any self-publishers around (Kindle)?

    Welcome hell, Jonah-K. ISBN policies vary from country to country. In theory, it is something your publisher should do. Unless you are doing actual self-publishing -that is, editing, formating, printing and selling on your own- you are not likely to have to have your own ISBN. Amazon acts as a...

    Interesting Concept - No Names, No Jackets

    I find this to be an interesting idea. It's absolutely worth a closer look. Maybe when I find the time to do so properly. However, I highly doubt this kind of approach will have any significant short-term impact.

    Dracnäe - Epic fantasy story.

    "specializing in war and the arts the battle" I also find the way the Preface and the Prologue are distributed odd at the very least, but it may be just me.

    Dracnäe - Epic fantasy story.

    I think there are some mistakes, but I am afraid I am nor good enough with English to know for sure. However: "The Goddess knew that by giving that gift to her beloved friend she would lost him" -La diosa sabía que entregándole ese don a su amado amigo, ella la perdido (!!!). "The First, who...

    Dracnäe - Epic fantasy story.

    I see Spanish is your mother language, so we have something in common. I am definitively going to have a look at the posted work when I find the time, which may easily be this weekend. Don't count on me to have accurate editing and mistake-smashing, as I am afraid I am not that good with English.
