Awhile back I told you that The
Writer magazine would shut their doors if a buyer wasn't found. I'm
thrilled that they
did find a buyer--Madavor Media. As far as I know, they'll continue as they
are, publishing wonderful articles like A
Successful Journey into E-Books by
L.J. Sellers. You absolutely cannot afford to miss this article. It’s in the
October 2012 issue. L.J. lays it out there for you, all the reasons she
switched from being a traditionally published author to an eBook author. Her
reasons are good and methodically thought out. The best thing about this piece
is the honesty, her tone. L.J. doesn't skip or skimp on the info she shares
with the reader. You can trust this
information.
Some
of her valuable advice was in this paragraph: I
decided to stop wasting time and money on things that weren't working and focus
on things that were. What wasn't working for me was my small publisher, which
couldn't get my books into stores. What was working for other people was the
growth in ebook sales.
This is excellent advice for all of us. We need to evaluate what’s
working for us and what isn’t.
L.J.
shares her path through the digital world, and her decision to forget about
print books and bookstores certainly paid off. Amazon Publishing offered her an
11-book contract. Yep, you read right. Now rush out to the bookstore and pick
up a copy of The Writer. You can learn something from L.J. Sellers.

That's good news. Glad to hear it.
Thanks for the update.
Ah, good news to hear that a rescue has occurred! The competitor of the magazine I write for has folded a fourth time.
That is good news. I used to subscribe to this magazine and several others, but at one point, I couldn't keep up with reading them. Maybe I'll subscribe again.
