Hello and welcome to the Focused on Story Blog and to the Author Toolbox Blog Hop #AuthorToolboxBlogHop which meets every third Wednesday of the month. This is my first post in this group. Thanks to Raimey Gallant for spearheading this venture. Hop around cyberspace and pick up useful information from these helpful bloggers. The list of participants is at the bottom of the page.
Authors are Small Business Owners
 |
| Small businesses in Hebden Bridge, England |
I never realized there were so many "jobs" associated with being a published author until my first novella was published. The good news is there are many tools/resources to help you learn about running this small business- books and online websites, writing groups, and authors who are willing to share their experiences.

| Blog series on Focused on Story featuring romance and mystery authors |
I hosted a blog series featuring romance and mystery authors who discussed their tips on writing, marketing, and publishing. Not only was it a wonderful opportunity to meet authors, but also a chance for writers to gain valuable information from the experienced authors.
AUTHOR TIP: I collected the authors' blog posts into an ebook and published it on amazon. I gave a PDF copy to the contributing authors so they could use it as a giveaway/opt-in.
Today I'm sharing resources I use and websites suggested by my guest authors for use in their writing businesses. Click the highlighted resource to take you to the website.

Those look like some great resources. I know and use some of them regularly. :) I'm almost at the point where I have to start worrying about things like incorporating. Not looking forward to it, but it's gotta be done! Great post!
Oh, the many hats the indie author wears! Sometimes it takes a bit of juggling to get all the work done :-) Great resources -- I've added a few more to my existing ones, thanks!

Welcome to the hop, and thanks for sharing this useful list :)
My current university module is covering marketing and publishing, so I have a feeling some of them will come in handy!
I'm new to the hop as well. I'm just now learning to treat this as a business. It's hard word, and I've blogged about it before. Thank you for the resources.
I recently started looking at my author career as a small business. I'm in the process of opening another small business and it made me realize how I should be looking at my writing.
Cheers!
Thanks for the list
I like Jane Friedman https://www.janefriedman.com/blog/

Thank you so much for the list of tips :)
Thanks, Raimey. Worrying about incorporating is a good kind of worry--shows your business is growing!! Thanks for stopping in.
Good Ronel. Glad you found the info helpful.
Thank you, Louise. Delighted to be a participant in this hop. Sounds like an interesting class with a LOT to learn. Sounds like a great class to take.
Hi Meka, you're welcome. Yes, I think authors think once the book is complete, they are done. But it's only the beginning of a lot of work!!
Hi Allie, wow--you are going to be a busy gal. Best wishes for success in BOTH businesses!
Hi M.L.--Thanks for leaving more resources. Joel Friedlander is associated with the book designer. He IS the book designer and I love his website. I'll check out Jane.
You're welcome, Erika. Thanks for stopping in.
A great collection. :-)

Wow, lot of great resources.
Thanks for the resources. I just started listening to Joanna Penn and want to delve into that podcast a bit more. Thanks for extra resources!
IWSG is my favorite site to check out and learn things. The part of the business I despise is the tax part. Yuch.

You always have such good things to share, JQ. I'll share this post. You did such a good job with the Tips book. I don't do the business end of the job nearly as well as I should. There's so much out there, it's a bit overwhelming. Have you or any of your friends worked with Nick Stephenson? I had a email from him that I can't find right now, but looked interesting about growing your newsletter list. Ah, well. Just keep on, keeping on. :)
It is, there's so much to read and do! The Creative Penn is actually on our recommended reading list :)
Just pure classic stuff from you here. I have never seen such a brilliantly written article in a long time. I am thankful to you that you produced this! seo for my business
