It's helpful when giving writers a list of what they need to do, to do so with case studies like Dream Raider. I'm currently in Brisbane (for a school reunion) and managed to pick up a copy of Dream Raider. I showed it to my 70-year-old mother who reads two books every week and her immediate response was, "Kids will love that cover." The cover is critical, so I have no doubt Dream Raider will be a huge success, as you say - not only does the cover attract but all the essential complimentary marketing material will pop as well. Joanna, great post, thanks. It’s helpful when giving writers a list of what they need to do, to do so with case studies like Dream Raider.

It would be fantastic, if this post can help some of your readers keep inspired as they are hard at work on their own journey to publication. This has been a great opportunity for us to share some of what we've learned over the years with other authors and we're excited about the tips we have to offer coming up soon on our website. Your website Joanna I find is very accessible and rich with information for other authors like ourselves. I've picked up some useful tips from your site myself and I encourage all the authors out there to make use of Joanna's site and consider investing in her author 2.0 program. Best of luck everyone Thanks again Joanna. Hi Joanna,

I used to get upset and frustrated feeling that we weren't getting anywhere. I know now it was all part of the big picture. What we went through to get this far was preparing us, if we had been published earlier then we probably would have found it all too difficult to deal with. Today we are ready, we have some hard knocks behind us and a few more to come I expect, as life is very much like that. Our passion is the world of Johnny Marsh.
