Staying Out of the Prison of Isolation
- by Cheri Cowell As the dog days of summer deepen, humidity builds, and it seems the summer is dragging on, one drawback of the profession we've chosen grows more intense. Loneliness is something we don't often talk about, but it is a reality that needs to be addressed so we can learn from ea...
I enjoyed reading this interview because I know Marti and I can say she is a true servant as a writer, as a ghostwriter, as a friend, and as a child of God. Her books are a true gift.
Tips from the Pros - Marti Pieper
Greetings from Sarah Sundin! What fun today—I get to turn the interview tables on Marti Pieper. Marti is one of the volunteers who helps post the CAN author interviews here. We all appreciate her dedication to the writing craft and her support for other authors and CAN. Marti has collaborated o...
Sorry for the confusion. It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. The new word for this same concept is "Categories." Here is what Amazon says about Categories:
You can view the Categories that a book is listed in by scrolling to the bottom of the Product Detail Page to the section titled "Look for Similar Items by Category."
Browse paths are listed in this format:
Books > Travel > Africa > Morocco
Books > Literature & Fiction > Women's Fiction > Single Women Literature
We generally limit the number of assigned browse categories to two for each title. When data from publisher feeds is automatically added to a Product Detail Page, it sometimes results in more than two assigned browse paths. We are unable to add more than two categories to the Product Detail Page for a book. You're welcome to change the existing categories for your title.
To change the browse categories currently assigned to your book, first take some time to peruse the categories in the "Books" section of our store. Once you've found the two categories you like, please contact us.
On the Contact Us form:
Under "Select an issue," select My Books.
Under "Select details," select Update information about a book.
In the fields that appear, select browse categories, and then I want browse categories in the Product Details section.

Within folders for each project I have a template folder. For instance, I have a folder titled website and within that folder is another folder marked Bookstore, and within that folder is my template file where the email response is kept, along with receipt templates, and a bulk rate sales info template.

Social Media Stats: Why Authors Should Join the Bandwaggon
From Cheri Cowell's desk: In preparing for a weekend retreat I'm hosting on Marketing for writers I came across these social media stats. If you need a push to join the social media bandwaggon, perhaps these social media stats will help you decide to jump on board. 9% Of Consumers can be ...
Thanks for the great question. I've heard from several marketing experts that churches don't like emails. They prefer the things they can put in their hands and pass along to others. So, my database is focused on old-fashioned mailings with email for follow-up. As far as who I mail to, I address the letters to the Director of Discipleship Ministries or Women's Ministries. These happen to be my target audience, but yours may be different. Hope that answers your questions. Blessings...
