WELCOME TO DAY FIVE OF INDIE E-CON 2017

I cannot believe this week sped by this quickly. We're to the last day already. I can't believe it.

So you have your book published, you've gotten into the swing of marketing. What's next?

Well, if you're a one-book author, and that was the only book that you wanted to publish, well, then you're done. Otherwise, well, you're in it for the long haul. Now it's time to write the next book. To edit the next book. To publish the next book. To market the next book - and the one you already had out. And it's time to do all that at once. You no longer have have the luxury of taking your time with your writing. I mean, you can, but your audience is now demanding your words, so I think that you might ought to give those words to them.

It's time to rinse and repeat.

Indie e-Con is free, and you're going to get a LOT of information thrown at you, as well as opportunities to ask for specific information. You're also going to be given chances to have YOUR writing critiqued by the authors. As such, I ask that you consider purchasing some of our books. One book, from at least one author, that's all I ask. More than that would be lovely, but try to get at least one book - a lot of the authors have theirs for 99 cents on kindle. I'd also like to ask that you leave a review for at least one Indie Book.

Oh, and I'd like to point out that there's a participation prize for the person who participates the most in Indie e-Con. Details are on this page. Last of the bullet Points.

And, as today's the last day, don't forget to check out the Goodies page and collect your free copy of the revised Sew, It's a Quest, if you haven't already. Also, don't forget to go vote on the Book Awards. *cough*VoteforLadyDragon,Tela,Du*cough. 

Book Awards voting will be closing at 8:00 CST tonight, and that is also the deadline on the guessing games. You will have until midnight CST time to clock in with your wordwar numbers when I post the "wrap-up" post tonight.

All winners will be announced tomorrow.

Today's "Watch the Author Write" will be Faith Blum, standing in for Claire who had to bail at the last moment, and I'll be writing at 2:00-3:00 PM CST on this document. Don't miss it!

Also, Jansina will be doing a "Watch the Editor Edit" at 6:00-7:00 PM CST, where she will be editing everything that the five of us wrote this week. It'll be on this document. Don't miss out!
