Julie Koh’s Reality Rules for Writers (A.K.A. Koh Quotes) #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival #swf18 @juliekoh @writingNSW #amwriting #publishing https://t.co/cJ2psKGkw6 via @rebeccajchaney
@statelibrarynsw PS. I was at your Metcalfe Auditorium yesterday for @writingNSW @SydWritersFest Forest for the Trees (#fftt18) event. Popped next door during morning break to soak up atmosphere of @statelibrarynsw & snap this photo! ❤️
"People who say there is no luck involved in publishing success are deluded.' 'The process of writing (which matters) I can control, the rest is out of my control.' 'Being shortlisted (awards) means zero in terms of sales.' Charlotte Wood #fftt18 #swf18 #sydneywritersfestival
I would just add that self-publishing in general has revealed the book industry's blindness to the appeal of certain genres. #sydneywritersfestival #swf18 #fftt18
It’s now considered normal for a book to sell 1000 copies - nothing to be ashamed of says @AnnabelSmithAUS #fftt18 #sydneyWritersFestival @writingNSW
An audience member points out that Amazon bashing can be frustrating to someone like her (a romance author) because Amazon is her only way to reach readers. Independent book shops won't stock her book. Fair point. #sydneywritersfestival #swf18 #fftt18
I can compete with Amazon but not if they don't pay GST. Fiona Stager @avidreader4101 #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
It's not that Amazon shouldn't be here but they should be good corporate citizens & pay their employees properly. Michael Gordon-Smith @AusPublish #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
"Dress for the job you want to have," says @AnnabelSmithAUS about how you should approach & prepare your book for #selfpublishing Do it properly or not at all. @writingNSW #sydneyWritersFestival #fftt18
Self-publishing is appealing for authors as they can avoid rejection, says @AnnabelSmithAUS Dress for the job you want to have & thus invest in editing & design if u self-pub. #fftt18 #sydneyWritersFestival @writingNSW
My local bookshop hand sells my book. Writers should support their local bookstores because they will support you - book launches, hand selling, events. @AnnabelSmithAUS #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
.@avidreader4101 on the subject of Amazon: 'I don't want pity buys. I want people to really support book shops because of what they offer', which includes great stock, staff knowledge and service, community events, paying GST, etc. #sydneywritersfestival #swf18 #fftt18
Fiona Stager of @avidreader4101 says she wants people to support her shop bc of deep community engagement and what they offer - inc paying staff properly & paying tax - in contrast to #Amazon. #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival @writingNSW
Bookstores pay proper wages, gst, taxes & engage with the community. Will Amazon do that? Fiona Stager @avidreader4101 #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
The idea to have a panel featuring a bookseller (@avidreader4101), an author (@AnnabelSmithAUS), the @AusPublish, and the @CopyrightAgency that discusses parallel importation and fair use is simply brilliant! #sydneywritersfestival #swf18 #fftt18
Now @CopyrightAgency @avidreader4101 @AusPublish @BplusPNews & @AnnabelSmithAUS talk the future #fftt18
Look outside the bestseller lists & trends. Look for publishers who are publishing the kind of books you write. @henningsgaard #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
Many smaller US presses will accept unsolicited manuscripts. You don't have to go through an agent. @Katmis @AndrewsMcMeel #fftt18 #sydneywritersfestival
