Who I am as a writer? I’m still a kid at heart and still remember my sense of awe when I saw Star Trek for the first time. In writing and reading and viewing I indulge my tastes as an adult who hasn’t outgrown adventure stories of capable heroes and happy endings. What motivates me to write? I’m motivated to create stories and styles that I’ve searched for but don’t see in today’s literature. My heroes aren’t angst ridden but  what they are is kind...

      Gosh, this is one question I get all the time. Why should I publish with Telemachus Press? Why shouldn't I use another work-for-hire publisher? When I get these questions and more, a gazillion thoughts race through my mind. The first usually is, how can I share with these authors the benefits and beauty of publishing with Telemachus Press?       What I want to do is show them my three novels that I published with them as an author before I became their Author...

I received a great question from a wonderful new author recently. He has written a legal thriller that will be out in a couple of months.  This was his question: Hello Joanne,                 I note in the following language that at some point in time, I'm to provide two summaries of the book, described as a 400 character summary and a 4000 character summary.               ...

Authors frequently ask me if Telemachus Press offers marketing. My response is no, we do not. This is somewhat qualified in that we are always seeking ways to get the word out about our amazing authors through blogging, social media, the Telemachus Press website and partnerships we have with other websites. This is a benefit of being part of the TP team. Reason #1 We Do Not Offer Marketing as a Service of Telemachus Press It is not our area of expertise Plain and simple, marketing is not pa...

A.K. Taylor Who I am as a writer? I am an adventurous person as a writer in and out of the book. I like to go to other worlds.  I also like to write about the backwoods world on my blog and it makes up part of my material for my YA series. I am a science freak which goes into my material. My love of video games also makes it into my work as well. So in some ways I’m still a kid at heart. What motivates me to write? It can be the birth of a cool idea that hits me. It can be somet...

or Why Telemachus Press does not offer discounts* *except in the case of multiple books being brought to us at the same time, but that’s for another blog post.  I received emails from authors the other day that read: “Does Telemachus Press offer a discount if I’ve already designed my cover?” and “I’m having a graphic artist prepare my cover. Do you reduce your fee because of this?” And another email that said: “I’ve formatted my ...

www.our-millie.com I had endured a rather fitful night before the big event, for me, of my first book reading before a crowd.  At least I hoped someone would be there to hear about Our Millie and her adventures.  There were many emotional ups and downs that night.  Up because it was an honor to be asked to present my work, and Down because, well, suppose nobody came, or they yawned or walked out, or I couldn’t put two words together without pen and paper in front of me. ...

I get a lot of emails from writers that go something like this: "What is the price to self-publish an ebook with Telemachus Press?" and “How much does it cost to do eBook and print on demand with you?” Each time I receive an email that asks the cost, I hesitate. It’s not that I don’t want to respond. Of course, I do. I want to jump from the rooftops and state the cost and why TP is the best option. But not everybody wants to hear that. They just want to know t...

In one of my WriteSpas I offer a writing practice I call Where Did I Come From, Who Am I, Where Am I Going? The intent in the exercise is to discover what is most important about your life. Is it birth date, hair color, job? Is it a formative experience? Or might it be something you believe in? What do you want people to know about you? Here are my guideline...
