Awesome Blogs!

David Gaughran
Mr. Gaughran’s book, Let’s Get Digital, was a huge part of the reason the Talesmiths decided to go into the field of self-publishing, so it was only natural that his blog would be worth checking out as well. If anyone out there is considering making a go at this themselves, this is a fantastic place to start!

Dean Wesley Smith
A hugely prolific writer and successful entrepreneur, Mr. Smith offers a wealth of information on how to make your writing career the best it can be. He hosts regular lectures and workshops about the craft of writing and understanding the business side of this amazing field.

Dean Wesley Smith’s amazing wife, who is also a writer herself… hmm, sounds kinda familiar… She has even more information on the field of self-publishing, plus has a great sense of humor!

Joe Konrath
Another amazing writer and pioneer of the self-publishing industry! His blog is entitled a Newbie’s Guide to Publishing, so you can bet this is a fantastic resource for all things publishing!

Passive Guy
Passive Guy follows the happenings of the publishing world from a very unique perspective: as an attorney. His thoughts on authors, traditional and self-published, and what’s happening to them are endlessly fascinating… and highly amusing!
