No Story Left Untold

Several months back I had an idea. We had just finished, Keepers of the Gateway to Hell, and had started promoting the book. I helped Simon out with the promotion, using the ideas I will put in this blog series, but when we started going out and about I realised how many war Veterans there really are. I wasn’t even aware of one quarter of the conflicts that these men and women served in.

I want to help these people tell their stories. I don’t think any story should go unheard. Some of the heroic deeds I have heard about are amazing and most sound like fiction, but the sad thing is these stories are true and about real people. I decided to do a detailed how to “BLOG” on planning, writing, publishing and promoting your book. I will give advice on traditional publishing and indie publishing. It really is a simple process.

I know many people wanted to tell their stories. Not just war vets, but I have spoke to teachers, nurses, doctors, fire fighters, carers, people with disabilities, people dealing with suicide, charities, upcoming authors trying to break it in the writing world. There are thousands of people from all walks of life that have a story to tell. Most seem to think that doing a book is beyond them. Many have been knocked back by traditional publishers and given up.

I was published for several years, under a different pen name, my publisher signed four of my books, rejected several others. These other books I put out myself. Over the next two years my Indie books outsold my published books by about twenty times. Publishers and agents get it wrong all the time. So, I am going to do a blog series on planning, writing, publishing and promoting your book, but more than this I will help authors today to promote their work on facebook and twitter, which is where I promote Simon and me. It is how we both had U.S bestsellers on kindle.

The blogs will appear over the next week. They will be online very quickly. For authors wishing to promote their work you can find us at.

For twitter promotion do a promo for your book on twitter and send it to us, an example being “@nostoryuntold The Legend of the Hermit Master, a fun magical adventure, now only 99c, LINK HERE” if your book fits the theme of the day, we will retweet it to all our followers and help spread the word, and in turn have them retweet it. We have other promotion opportunities, but will explain them over the coming days on facebook. Please follow us and spread the word.
