Excerpt
Preface--It has often been said that a person cannot be taught to write a best seller. In other words, authors are blessed at birth with a literary talent and it is because of this talent that they succeed. Although there is some truth to this statement, we feel it needs to be expanded upon.
When a person has a desire to write, it is imposible not to write! Many writers are miserable when their creativity is bottled up because of lack of time and/or opportunity. Writers should try to develop their full potential. Although talent cannot be taught--proper grammar, dialogue, description, and writing styles can be.
This book is about Poetry. Many different kinds of fables, short stories about life experiences, laughter, drama, children, humor, love, inspiration and some urban styles of poetry.
Essays dedicated to the new media, doing business on the web, digital content, its creation and distribution, e-publishing, e-books, digital reference, DRM technology, and other related issues.
With the new and exciting world of Kindles and Print-on-Demand (POD), Independent Publishing is becoming an enticing choice and a viable alternative to traditional publishing.
