5 Reasons Book Merchandise Enhances Your Author Brand

As an author, you've undoubtedly thought about creating book merchandise for your book before. It's something every author dreams of, but not a venture that every authors feels is necessary or plausible. Whether it's financial hardship, not knowing where to start, or feeling like it's a waste of time, there are a multitude of reasons why authors don't move forward with creating a merch line. While we understand that not everyone is in a position to follow through, this post i

5 Easy Ways Your Family & Friends Can Help Promote Your Book

An author's career is only as stable as the community behind it. It can take a village to raise a self-published author and every bit of help counts. When we first publish, we may feel initial disappointment when those we care about don't automatically rally behind us. Often you'll find the reason for that is because the non-writers closest to us don't know how to be helpful, or what kind of support we need to get started. The second problem is that we, as writers, don't know

5 Tips For Staying Motivated And Writing During The Holidays

With winter on its way and holidays right around the corner, we often find that our writing time gives way to more important tasks. Our routines favor indulgence rather than diligence and our minds are filled with sugar plum dreams rather than book plots. As a result, our motivation tanks, our book sales stagnate, and we're left with feelings of dissatisfaction when spring rolls around. We wish we'd spent more time developing that idea we had, that we had finished that draft

10 Tips For Writing A Terrifying Horror Story

Horror has been popular since the dawn of civilization. It originated in Ancient Rome and Greece with roots in folklore and religious traditions. In those days stories were taken at face-value as truth, and the horror stories of those days contained themes of death, demons, evil spirits, and the afterlife. Stories featuring demons, witches, vampires, werewolves and ghosts were common. This tradition has since spread across the globe with variations of the same underlying stor

Why writing it wells

Hello Friends!

Writing It Wells is my dream-come-true. As a writer, I thought about what I wanted to see as someone looking to publish a book. I wanted to help other authors find their own paths, encourage them, and give them solutions to common problems. This is how the blog was born. It's designed to give writers the knowledge they need to succeed.

This year I took it a step further and opened Writing It Wells Developmental and Copy Editing services. I recognized that knowledge can only get an author so far. We all need help catching the flaws in our writing and what better way to ensure the quality of our books than having an experienced pair of eyes read it? This is a hands-on approach assisting authors in becoming the best they can be.

Taking it a step further, sometimes we prefer a personal touch. Keeping this in mind I expanded Writing It Wells to include book marketing and developmental coaching sessions. These hour-long sessions give writers the support and step-by-step guide they need in order to make the most of their writing and publishing experiences.

To learn more about any of the services offered, please send an inquiry email to writingitwells@gmail.com.

Alina Wells is an aspiring author, blogger, and poet. She studied at the University of West Florida and received her degree in Journalism and Creative Writing.

She started Writing It Wells as a way of embracing a new creative career while pursuing her first novel Star-Crossed. Today it has grown to include both a blog, editing services, and book coaching.

When she's not writing she's spending her time reading fantasy novels, cooking (her second passion), watching movies with her husband, wrangling her miniature pinscher Ranger, and collecting more gnomes.

TESTIMONIALS

"I would highly recommend working with Alina to anyone who wants a comprehensive and professional review of their book for critiquing. In the future, as I write more books, I will definitely be asking for her professional opinion again. She was a pleasure to work with and anyone would benefit extremely well from her knowledge. Thank you Alina!"
