I know nothing about this but I think @joy-caroline ,@joelle-stone , and @this-is-not-an-alien might be able to help you! Joy and Joelle have blogs with newsletters and Cathy is starting a newsletter!

Hi, all,
So I’m wanting to start an email newsletter soon. A couple of years ago I had one with MailChimp, but really didn’t like that service much. I want to try one again, especially since I’m on a mission to build an author platform without social media. I would love some advice from anyone else who has an email newsletter!
1) What service do…[Read more]

Hi, @jenwriter17
Thank you so much for the information! I had no idea you could search for stock photos on WordPress–I just tried that on a post draft and it’s huge help! 🙂 I’ll have to check out that website for WordPress themes.

Hi, @ashley-tegart !
I purchased by website theme from creativemarketplace.com. It’s a great place to find awesome-looking, more professional themes and the ones I’ve used were fairly easy to install and customize. And as for post photos, I’ve just been using the option WordPress gives to find free stock photos from Pexel. 🙂 Hope that helps!

Hi, @emma-walker! I don’t know if you’ve started blogging yet, but I also use WordPress (hosted through BlueHost). My advice would be to plan a posting frequency that’s manageable for your schedule and plan out post topics in advance (and draft them in advance if you can). Doing this has helped me avoid the panic of “Oh no! I haven’t posted in a…[Read more]

Hi, all!
So I have a WordPress blog hosted through Bluehost and I would like to improve the way everything looks. I have a couple of questions for anyone else who uses WordPress! 🙂
1. Have you ever paid for a premium theme? I currently use one of the default WordPress themes but I would like something more customizable. If so, how did you…[Read more]

Crazywriter replied to the topic HELP! For a self-publishing 15 year old novelist in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 4 years, 11 months ago
Thanks for the advice and I will seriously consider it.
And when I said not having the time and money for the stuff you mentioned, I didn’t mean that I don’t have time to write, which I do have some for. I meant more that I may not have the pedigrees and bells and whistles that more experienced self publishers have.
But thanks, and I will con…[Read more]

If you really want to put “better Christian fiction” in the hands of readers (which is an admirable goal!), you want to make sure that it’s actually as good as you can make it. The many rounds of editing and the feedback, at least, are non-negotiable. And there’s nothing wrong with waiting to publish until you can do it well. Your…[Read more]

Ok thanks guys.
The advice was great but guys, as I’m finishing up my freshman year in high school, in the middle of a move, and will soon be tied up in football, I have neither the time nor the money to do all that, with a team, and the other stuff. While I don’t want this to be rushed, I wrote this book so that there would be better Chr…[Read more]

Basically ditto what @r-m-archer said. Her advice is spot on and I don’t really have anything to add. 🙂
