Review of Independently Published Works

The landscape of getting published has changed greatly for new writers. The quantity of books being published these days is astronomical compared to the period of classic authors. Although the quality may not have withstood the pace of the record new books that are being published, the competition makes being recognized almost impossible. At Descriptive Phrases.com I have desired for some time to begin a review and short interview style page that explores some new, independent authors and try to help their works gain a greater audience.

 

 With so much of my time going into my own writing and the creation of this site, I’ve placed this idea of a review of only independently published works on the back burner. Additionally, I didn’t know where I should begin if I were to pursue such a project. Recently I was contacted by a fairly new author who asked for my help in reviewing her new book, and I thought this is the perfect time to help a fellow writer and begin a new page on Descriptive Phrases.com .

 

 I am looking forward to this new project and truly hope that I can help at least one author gain a few readers and some recognition for their work. As always, thanks for reading.

Happy New Years to All

I am looking forward to another year of discussing writing and books. As always, comments are very welcome. In the next several months, I hope to finish my first novel and beginning the arduous task of finding the right publishing format and publisher.  I plan to examine the pitfalls of the process that is faced by all new writers. Again I wish to thank all of you who have read and provided feedback on my site. Here’s wishing for another great year. Cheers!
