Free Writing eBook!

By Glenys O'Connell @GlenysOConnell

 

Get a Copy of Naked Writing for Free!

 

 

 

As many of you know, after being published by 'regular' publishers, I've decided to take the plunge into the world of Indie publishing.

 

So far the journey has been fun - if a little nail-bitingly tense at times! - and while I will stay with my publishers, I will also self-publish more books on Amazon Kindle.

 

See - Isn't That a Pretty Cover?
How Could You Resist?

 

 

 

My first Indie venture is a compilation of nine years of teaching creative writing: Naked Writing:The No Frills Way to Write Your Book!.

 

 

And it's free on Wednesday, August 29th!!!

 

 

Yes, you can download a free copy of the ebook here on Amazon.com or here on Amazon.co.uk.

 

And No, You Don't Have to Be Naked to Read It!

 

 

But Remember: It's Only on Wednesday, Aug 29th!

 

ENJOY!

 

 



 

 

 



 



Monday Mashable - This Week's Books & Web Places

By Glenys O'Connell @GlenysOConnell

Okay, I confess. I do a fair amount of wandering around the web when I should be writing. Bad, bad me. So, in order to claim I’m making use of my time instead of idly surfing, I thought I’d share some of my Web finds with you as well as a couple of books I’m reading that I’m sure you will want to look up.

I intend the Monday Mashable (#MondayMashable) to be a regular feature, but as the road to Hell is supposed to be paved with good intentions, I’m making no promises. If you’ve found a fun or interesting website, blog, or book that you’d like to share (including your own – don’t be shy!) please put it in a comment below and I’ll add it to the next Monday Mashable list!

Web Places I visited this week – You might like them, too!

Lovely friendly writing blog/website by author Starla Criser. Bit slow to load, but well worth the wait. http://rubbishtopublish.com/
