A Deeper Look at Reader Guides

June 22, 2020June 21, 2020 / P. H. Solomon / 37 Comments

Good morning to all the Story Empire readers, PH here today with a topic you may not have thought about but probably should. I've touched on this subject in posts about using your meta-content (story bible) for dual purposes, but I wanted to revisit the idea of reader guides and the variety of information that … Continue reading A Deeper Look at Reader Guides

Changing Literary Styles (Part Two)

April 4, 2018April 3, 2018 / Joan Hall / 56 Comments

Hello, SE readers. I would venture there isn’t an author who at one time or another, hasn’t been upset with Amazon and its review policies. It doesn’t matter if you are a verified purchase owner of a book if Amazon even slightly suspects you might have a connection with the author they won’t approve your … Continue reading Let’s Talk Goodreads
