Review 161: The Shack by William Paul Young

Review 161: The Shack by William Paul Young

By Shannon Yarbrough on August 21, 2010

I love a success story. With over 4,000 reviews on Amazon.com, over 80 weeks at #1 on the NYT Bestsellers List for Trade Paperback fiction, and well over 1 million copies in print, I’d say The Shack by William Young is indeed successful. Young wrote the book as a Christmas gift for his six children and had no intention of ever publishing it. But after being persuaded by friends who read it, Young worked with several colleagues to polish the work for publication.

Review 160: Haversham Hill by Sunni Morris

Review 160: Haversham Hill by Sunni Morris

By Shannon Yarbrough on August 14, 2010

One glimpse at the title of Sunni Morris’s book and you probably conjure up visions of Miss Havisham, a wealthy spinster living in her old mansion, penned by Charles Dickens back in 1861, wondering around in her old wedding dress and “looking like the witch of the place.”

Top Twenty-Six Places Where Your Book Should Be

Top Twenty-Six Places Where Your Book Should Be

By Shannon Yarbrough on August 9, 2010

I’ve always been a cheerleader for investing in copies of your own book for various reasons. This always becomes part of the great debate of how much money an author should invest in their book to make it successful. Remember, if you are a self-published author, you wear many hats: writer, editor, publisher, and marketer. Before considering self-publishing, you should consider how much money you are willing to spend on marketing your project.
