Essex Libraries Donation

Eden Gruger local author has donated 50 copies of her first book ‘Down With Frogs’ to Essex library services

Eden Gruger said "the library service has been a vital part of my life, since learning to read aged four, the library has been a land of wonder, peace and connection for me. Libraries offer a vital community service; central government talks about breaking down loneliness barriers, building communities and supporting good mental health, then local government shuts libraries”.

Copies are in the following libraries, and you can of course reserve a copy by going online or asking in your local branch.

• Basildon Library • Billericay Library • Braintree Library • Brentwood Library • Brightlingsea Library • Broomfield Library • Burnham-on-Crouch Library

Give Great Author Interviews

This is a skill like all the others you need to learn to have a successful author business. And giving a great interview will take practise. What do you want to get across? are you building your brand, or selling books? if you usually follow me, then you will know what I think it is better to do. Tell people why are interesting, funny, weird, or an expert in your field - show them why you might be worth their time and interest.

I have been interviewed multiple times, and have been asked some expected, cool and crazy questions over the years. You can view some of these by following the links on Eden In The Media.

If you feel that you have reached the point in your author career where giving interviews needs to be a part of your marketing strategy. But feel unsure where to find the publications or media that might want to hear from or about you. Or what to say to them when you do work out who they are, take a look at How To Get And Give Great Author Interviews, part of the Make Your Book A Reality Masterclass Membership

I will show you how to source author interviews with people and publications who align with your brand. You’ll learn what to say, what NOT to say, and how to present you and your book(s) in the best light, regardless of who you’re talking to or what they throw at you! You’ll also get the chance to come up with your own responses to the ten most popular interview questions.

Build Good Writing Habits

How to learn to write? This is a question with as many answers as there are people asking it – lots and lots.

I cannot tell you best way, or the only way to consider, but I can tell you my way. And at the time of writing, I have six books to show that it works for me.

In the very beginning I tried to write every single day, just for five minutes. This was not able creating anything earth shattering or even particularly great. There were no rules, and no editing at all, So the things that I wrote were very stream of consciousness, and at times didn’t seem to make any sense at all. But this was about habit forming, and for some people writing every day is what gets them from page one to The End.

Then I tried writing to word count, this works for many people…but you have guessed it, not for me. This just gave me something to rebel against, as if I needed any excuse, and made something that I love to do feel like schoolwork.

Then I thought about how my particular brain processes the world, and hey presto I was away. I need peace, fresh air, and no disturbances (literally none, distract me and my brain goes onto factory reset). It seems simple, but that is my way, when I cannot write, I do not try.

You can try various ways to create your own healthy writing habits, and not everything will feel right for you. But you need to develop your writing habits in order to get your own book finished. Starting a book but then not going on to finish it is the biggest problem writers have.

Before you go any further why not look into ‘How To Write (Without Block)’ part of the Make Your Book A Reality Masterclass Membership

If you want to make strong writing habits, whatever that looks like for you, understand why people get blocked, and how to get out of, and stay out of block. Especially useful if you are stuck in a rut with your writing - which happens to the best of us. Let me pull you out of the mental mud and get your imagination back on track.

Whether you are a beginner establishing their writing routine or a seasoned professionals who need to get their mojo back!

How To Write (Without Block) Masterclass

If you prefer to go your own way but would appreciate a framework, I have created How To Finish Your Book, a free printable checklist that will guide you through the steps from idea to publishing.
