Rock Your Writing Career

Joe Nassise — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:43:37 +0000

My new membership site – rockyourwritingcareer.com – is getting ready to go live on June 15th! If you’re ready to take control of your writing career, then this site is for you!

What is “Rock Your Writing Career” you ask?

Consider it your personal library for information about taking your fiction writing career to the next level. I’m taking everything in the last eight years about selling novels and promoting your work and making it available on the site in the form of articles, podcasts, video tutorials, ebooks, audio courses and more! I’m tired of seeing good writers at the mercy of the quirks and out-dated business models that govern the publishing industry and I want to help them get the most out of each and every one of their writing projects.

Here is just a sample of the kinds of information that is going to be available on the site this year:

Articles on writing and publishing
Podcast interviews with successful writers, editors, and agents
Ebooks on organizing your novel, building your website, marketing your work, and exploding your website traffic with social media tools (to name just a few)
A directory of foreign publishers and agents to help you secure foreign language sales
Video tutorials on researching agents, using web 2.0 tools to make your writing life easier, and more

Eyes to See – Book One of the Hunt Chronicles

Joe Nassise — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:58:34 +0000

Cover art for EYES TO SEE – Book One in the Hunt Chronicles has been released by my German publisher. As near as I can tell, the German title translates to ‘He Who Sees Shadows” which its rather nicely with the premise of the book.

Marketing blurbs and information are still be ironed out, so I don’t want to say too much about it, but I will leave you all with the opening line:

“I gave up my eyes in order to see more clearly.”

More on EYES TO SEE and the Hunt Chronicles soon!

New Fiction Writing Course Available

Jump Start Your Novel

I’ve been working on a couple of new things behind the scenes and one of those is my latest writing course, Jump Start Your Novel. It is based on the workshop I’ve been teaching for the last two years under the same name and is delivered as an ebook complete with exercises and examples from my own writing.

Organizing and preparing your novel before you write it can save you a tremendous amount of time and frustration on the back end, eliminating structural errors and costly rewrites. This course will take you throught he exact process I use to produce each of my novels – from figuring out your premise to creating living, breathing characters, to planning the entire plot.

If you are looking for a way to cut through the confusion and get started on your novel today, then this book is for you.
