Writers’ Roundup: February 11

First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! (Yes, she reads the blog.)

Links to keep you busy this weekend:

• At WordCount, 10 ways to make editors fall in love with your book.

• Lifehacker informs us that Kindle page numbers now correspond with paper books!

• An interesting take on travel blogging and freebies, from No Beaten Path.

• Love how Rebecca Skloot is using her royalties to help Henrietta Lacks descendants. Reporting from The New York Times.

• Mashable brings us 7 ways print mags are using social media to connect with readers.

• The Creative Penn, who offers fabulous resources for writers on her blog, launched her own book, Pentecost. Since she’s excellent at Internet marketing, keep your eye on her to see how she markets her own book. Joanna also had a great piece this week on content marketing for authors.

Book update: With my revision complete, I’m now working on a piece of my online supplement (photos, videos, map, etc.) so publishers can have a look when we ask them to BUY MY BOOK!

Have a great weekend!
