Tips and Tidbits

Each month in this box, Carolyn lists a writing or promotion tidbit that will help authors and a tip to help readers find a treasure among long-neglected books or a sapphire among the newly-published.

Writers' Tidbit: Amazon offers a new service absolutely free. In addition to an author's regular buy page, it is a special page that lists all e-books in a series. Don't think of it as a page for genre fiction only. I just did one for the series of poetry chapbooks I wrote with Aussie Magdalena Ball. As a self- publisher of that series I was able to do this myself using my KDP Bookshelf. My publisher did this one at amazon.com/dp/B0BTXQL27T for my series of books for writers. Either way, it's absolutely free! Amazon also produces the triptych images for these pages free. Beyond New Authors Reading Tip: Those who have not read Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club" should not miss it. Those who have read it, may want to review it for the language and for the insight into Asian thought that is found in its pages.
