Participate in Our July 2013 AuthorHouse Author Challenge

The biggest publishing news in July was that J. K. Rowling, the author of the world-famous Harry Potter series, wrote a mystery novel under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The novel climbed right to the top of the bestseller lists last week, and shows no sign of relinquishing the top spot. If your name were just a pseudonym for a famous author (in other words, if your book had been written by that author) who do you think it would be? For this month’s author challenge, please tell us in 50 words or less! The winner will have their picture (with their book) used as the cover image for AuthorHouse’s Facebook page. The deadline is midnight on August 19. Click here for more information.

Tips on Knowing if your Book is Good

While authors will naturally have a strong attachment to their book, it’s equally natural for them to wonder if the book was enjoyable to their readers. There are two ways for writers to judge the quality of their book: first, they should wait at least six months to re-read it; by then, they can view it with a fresh set of eyes, and better identify what works and doesn’t work. Second, they should solicit the opinions of readers who have no emotional ties to the book, either through book reviews, forums, or online comments.

Top Tips for Planning a Book Series from AuthorHouse

AuthorHouse presents four major tips to remember when planning a book series:

First, determine the story’s chronology, scope and content.

Second, leave room for the characters to grow as the story develops, allowing them a character arc.

Third, you should know and consider other sides of the story, and other points of view.

And lastly, create a “character bible” to track characters’ physical, emotional and motivational progression.

These are our tips for planning a book series. If you have any suggestions of your own, drop by! AuthorHouse would love to hear them.
