Hello Jim, I have a question that… may be a bit strange and is more about author etiquette than writing itself. Some time ago, I’ve contacted the author of one of my favorite books, asking him whether he’d be okay with me making a reference/easter egg (or how people call it these days) to his book. I’ve already considered that quite daring but, to … Read More Collaboration Copy #Writing #Author #Advice

Hi Jim, I’m really upset about the feedback one of my book has been getting. For the most part, the reviews have been constructive, but they’ve mostly been negative. The book in question is a sequel to one that got a lot of positive reviews. The story had a great following, but now I’m afraid the sequel may have ruined it. I was really … Read More The Phoenix Effect: After Being Burned by Bad Reviews #Writing #Author #Advice
