Member of the Week: Jean Ann Duckworth

Q: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?

A: I knew I wanted to be a writer when I attempted to write my autobiography at the ripe old age of seven. I thought my life had been thrilling to that point, an exciting tale that would engage the reader to want more, much more considering there has been a lot added to the story since that time. Otherwise, I can’t think of a time when I didn’t want to be a writer.

Q: How and when did you make this dream a reality?

A: My first book was published in 2001. It’s a Christmas story called God Didn’t Send His Son to Cause Me Stress! The next year, I had a murder mystery published, then my work appeared in 2 entertainment books. In addition, I write for our online magazine Simple Joy.

Article of the Week

“10 Golden Rules” for Book Marketing Success

Learn how to successfully market your book with these 10 valuable book marketing tips.

1. Take Risks. Be willing to put yourself in uncomfortable situations (like speaking and selling) to market your books. Pretty soon you won’t be uncomfortable anymore and you will be selling books.

2. Accept Mistakes. Not everything you try will be effective. Some of the promotions you dream up will fall flat and others will be very effective. You have to test your marketing plan, and accept the mistakes as a guideline for what NOT to do the next year.
