JessieHarrell I'm sure Chelsea will be here any minute (she's on deadline), but what burning questions do you guys have tonight? #indiechat -9:03 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks Hi @chelseafine! Thanks for joining us tonight! #indiechat -9:03 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio Sad that I had to miss the last few chats due to wedding stuff. #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @patricialynne07 lurking is definitely allowed. feel free to chime in as well. #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chihuahuazero @JessieHarrell Is trying to promote locally as an indie author a valid strategy? #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



wirdmonger Hello #indiechat feeling good I can drop in for a change. -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



adrianaryansc I'm curious why she chose inkslinger for her blog tour company. :) #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



BiblioCrunch Hey #indiechat excited to be here tonight! Have you all seen our new blog? http://t.co/TTVCKo1A -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @KatGirl_Studio How's it going? The wedding stuff? #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Hey - I'm here to learn. :-) #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn I'm wondering about thoughts on soft launch vs. "big" launches... #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling most of it is done. Now it's just the small things. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling Me too! RT @susankayequinn: I'm wondering about thoughts on soft launch vs. "big" launches... #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @BiblioCrunch I'll check it out in my other browser window. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri How long before launching a book do you start publicity efforts? #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



EArroyo5 Learning here too. =) #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 I feel like jumping in to #indiechat :) been so busy this week. -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio me too! RT @KatGirl_Studio: @laurapauling most of it is done. Now its just the small things. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @susankayequinn can you explain what you mean by soft vs. big launches? #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri Put another way... :) RT @susankayequinn: I'm wondering about thoughts on soft launch vs. "big" launches... #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling My question is how many launches can the blogosphere handle? Are they losing their impact? #indiechat Unless you're well known and big! -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley Me, too. Here to learn. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @HeatherSunseri For the first in a series, 4-6 wks out. For subsequent books, it depends... #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling Is it better to pay bloggers out there to organize it or do it yourself? #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 I just stumbled upon this chat, and my book launches this Sat 22 of Sep #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chihuahuazero @laurapauling Personally, I notice launches when my favorite blogs are apart of them, but those two cases were non-fiction. #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



bethfred08 Just don't wait for the book to come out to start marketing. Learned that one the hard way. #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



adrianaryansc Wondering this, too. RT @JessieHarrell: @susankayequinn can you explain what you mean by soft vs. big launches? #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @laurapauling don't authors have to have some sort of book launch though? how will ppl know your title is out? #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @JessieHarrell Soft launch=book release, then buzz; Big Launch=buzz first, then release. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @LisaCanada104 Very cool! What are you doing for a launch? #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 Also been super busy with the blog, got a huge ABB this week, hopefully more authors will join! *hinthint* #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @laurapauling Good question. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @laurapauling I could NOT organize a tour myself. It was one of things I was willing to pay for. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @LisaCanada104 Congrats on your upcoming release! #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam THIS. RT @bethfred08: Just dont wait for the book to come out to start marketing. Learned that one the hard way. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @chel_c_cam Do you like how it went? #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KealanBurke @susankayequinn yep, you got my attention! ;-) #Indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @Froze8 What's an ABB? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling I'm all for DIY, I think you connect more with readers and it's more authentic. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @LisaCanada104 Congrats! what are you plans for your launch? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



adrianaryansc I thought with indie books it doesn't matter when you start marketing b/c there's no shelf life. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @chel_c_cam So how soon before you launch should you start the buzz/contacting bloggers? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @laurapauling Oh heck yes. I'm doing another in October with the same host. Much less stress on me. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @KatGirl_Studio But maybe we'd reach new readers with a paid tour? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell I'm collecting all of your questions, so thanks! #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



EArroyo5 Great questions #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @KealanBurke Yay! Thanks for coming, fellow KBer! #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 I wasn't planning on doing anything really, although I know I should. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri @susankayequinn Thanks, Susan. That's interesting. And good to know. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @adrianaryansc I kinda agree with that. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @JessieHarrell Sorry I'm late. I'm here! :) #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Thanks, Jesse! #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



bethfred08 What do you do when you release a book in a genre you have zero contacts in? #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @adrianaryansc true to some extent, but you want some buzz so readers have time to love you b4 next book is out #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @ChelseaFine Thanks so much for coming on short notice! #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @MichWritesBooks Depends on book. I didn't do any for my first, I went two months out with my latest. Longer is better. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Battista_j @chel_c_cam @laurapauling Who did you use to organize it? #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling I don't know. I set up a 32 international blog tour myself. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Another to add: define 'buzz' before launch. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn If you want book bloggers to participate in your launch/tour, they need 4wks to 2 months notice. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @ChelseaFine welcome! we've been collecting questions for you!! :) #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @KatGirl_Studio Impressive. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 Really, because I didn't know what to do, and I have no swag to give a way yet #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @laurapauling Depends, The blog tour I'm working on will take me about 50 hours of work. #indiechat I think size matters -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



EArroyo5 RT @susankayequinn: If you want book bloggers to participate in your launch/tour, they need 4wks to 2 months notice. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @JessieHarrell Yay! I'm so excited!! :) #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @Battista_j @SPNHeather. She's the bomb, and really affordable. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @ChelseaFine right now we're talking blog tours. ppl want to know why you picked inksliger for your tour. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @susankayequinn yes. I did mine a month out but 2 months would have been better. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @chel_c_cam So for a book I plan to release in October, I should already be starting buzz? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri @susankayequinn So, you're saying big launch for first in a series (or first ever, maybe), then go soft after that? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SuttonShields I'm a newbie, and most of the time, I feel lost x 100. Is this something all Indie authors feel? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SPNHeather @chel_c_cam thanks gal!! @battista_j #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @SuttonShields For a little bit, yeah. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @LisaCanada104 Swag isn't necessary - personally, I don't do swag (most of the time) (not counting bookmarks) #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @Froze8 As in how many tour stops? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling it was my first tour too. had 1500+ people enter one giveaway and nearly 1k enter the grand giveaway. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @MichWritesBooks I'd release the blurb and cover, or at least one. I've done teasers as well. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley @SuttonShields Yep, I feel lost, too! #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell I had a blogger set up my tour and it was awesome. she had far more connections to big blogs than I could've gotten on my own. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @SPNHeather MWAH! #indiechat -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



katiekleinbooks RT @susankayequinn If you want book bloggers to participate in your launch/tour, they need 4wks to 2 months notice. #indiechat -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @laurapauling About 54 stops #indiechat -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley #indiechat I'm releasing my chapter book Oct. 10 and am just hoping the book is ready by then. Then I can figure out a launch. Pantser! -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @KatGirl_Studio what prizes did you have for those contests? #indiechat -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @HeatherSunseri If people know about the series,the "pre launch" buzz for the 2nd book starts when the 1st one launches #indiechat -9:12 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam RT @susankayequinn If you want book bloggers to participate in your launch/tour, they need 4wks to 2 months notice. #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Stacey_WB RT @susankayequinn: @LisaCanada104 Swag isnt necessary - personally, I dont do swag (most of the time) (not counting bookmarks) #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @chel_c_cam Good tip! Thanks! #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn Everyone feels this. :) @SuttonShields: Im a newbie, I feel lost x 100. Is this something all Indie authors feel? #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 was it a friends blogger, or someone who does this for people? #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @Froze8 Wow, that's a lot! So the author wrote 54 guest posts? #indiechat -9:13 PM Sep 18th, 2012



BiblioCrunch What is the time frame to ask authors for interviews? I'm working on setting those up at the blog (http://t.co/TTVCKo1A) #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @LynNerdKelley Congrats on the upcoming release! #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @LisaCanada104 most bloggers I think now charge to set up tours. #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam I'm on my fifth book and Im still lost @SuttonShields: Im a newbie, I feel lost x 100. Is this something all Indie authors feel? #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @JessieHarrell the 1500+ was for a signed print copy & the 1k one was for a signed print copy, custom portrait & art prize pack. #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SuttonShields Oh, good...not that I'm happy everyone feels lost...ugh, you know what I mean, I hope. lol #indiechat -9:14 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @susankayequinn Yes. Everyday. :) And I'm not new anymore. I'm not sure what that says about me, haha. #indiechat -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley RT @laurapauling: @LynNerdKelley Congrats on the upcoming release! #indiechat Thanks, Laura! I don't have high expectations for a chap book! -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @SuttonShields I think we're always learning and things change so fast...we're always learners. #indiechat -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @chelseafine another question for you: is promoting locally a valid strategy for Indies? #indiechat -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 @BiblioCrunch #indiechat I'm open for interviews :) -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @SuttonShields We're all in this mess together :) #indiechat -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @LynNerdKelley You're probably right. But it's a niche market, once parents figure out chapter books are out there. #indiechat -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley RT @SuttonShields: Oh, good...not that I'm happy everyone feels lost...ugh, you know what I mean, I hope. lol #indiechat LOL! -9:15 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri I'm lucky if I do that in a year on my own blog. RT @laurapauling: @Froze8 Wow, that's a lot! So the author wrote 54 guest posts? #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @HeatherSunseri No Kidding. #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @laurapauling No, blog tour also has interviews, reviews (plus giveaways) (54 not including cover reveal/release day posts) #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @LisaCanada104 it's good to consider guest posts you can give to busy bloggers. writing interview Qs takes time #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling So how many here did a big launch for their book? How many didn't? #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Steenaholmes @laurapauling phew - made it to #indiechat even late. What's the topic? -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @JessieHarrell I think doing local festivals is great. gained a bunch of new readers & return readers asking for book 2. #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine I think promoting locally is good community-wise, but not necessary for exposure. #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



wirdmonger I have two swag ideas: your name as a character in my next book and autographed cover. #indiechat -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine 99% of my sales happen outside of AZ (where I live) even though I promote here. #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chihuahuazero @Steenaholmes @laurapauling Book launches! #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley @laurapauling After 10 years, it's going to feel great to get it published! And having kids read it! #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine I'm not sure what that says about my local promotion... haha #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @Steenaholmes book launches in this day and age with @ChelseaFine #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



TheGiftedSeries In your opinion, which book launch is best: blog tour, twitter/Facebook party, or on location autograph party? #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LisaCanada104 what are some good launch strategies? #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @ChelseaFine Re: Contacting bloggers - what do you give them on 1st contact? If the book is still with your editor... what then? #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SuttonShields @chel_c_cam LOL--So definitely par for the course, then. Guess I'll be cuddling up to being lost for...well...ever. #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



HeatherSunseri Interesting. RT @ChelseaFine: I think promoting locally is good community-wise, but not necessary for exposure. #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Steenaholmes @chihuahuazero @laurapauling YES! Can't wait to gleam info :) this is what I love #indiechat -9:17 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @LisaCanada104 Online. You reach WAY more people. #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine Blog tour is best! Hands down. #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell Guest posts I did included dream cast, soundtrack, deleted scenes, excepts - easy for bloggers to put up & not too much work 4 me #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn @Steenaholmes Welcome! Thanks for coming! :) #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam @SuttonShields *gets out compass* *squints at sun* #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Steenaholmes @wirdmonger you have to be careful with the 'your name as character' aspect - legal issues. #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn RT @ChelseaFine: I think promoting locally is good community-wise, but not necessary for exposure. #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012

LynNerdKelley @TheGiftedSeries Great question! #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell I agree! RT @ChelseaFine: Blog tour is best! Hands down. #indiechat -9:18 PM Sep 18th, 2012

Froze8 @JessieHarrell Those are good ideas for posts #indiechat -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell And in fact, blog touring never has to end. can be concentrated early, but still need bloggers to keep you in public eye #indiechat -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Steenaholmes @laurapauling I like doing 'soft launches' first to work out the bugs #indiechat -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about blog tours yet. #indiechat -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012

SPNHeather RT @chel_c_cam: What she said. RT @ChelseaFine: Blog tour is best! Hands down. #indiechat and Check out SupaGurl Tours I can help with tht -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio I know with my tour I offered a wide range of different types of guest posts/content for bloggers to choose from. #indiechat -9:19 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @Steenaholmes I love that for self publishers, the hard launch/blog tour can come a little later. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SPNHeather @laurapauling the ones that I have worked with says it helps sales .. so, so far so good :) #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



adrianaryansc What do you give people to review if your book is still with editors 4-6 weeks out? #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Stacey_WB RT @Steenaholmes: @laurapauling I like doing soft launches first to work out the bugs // I think that's what I've been doing. :) #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio And now I can also add those to the trilogy's micro site for future fans to enjoy. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



overdunne Hi all, sorry I'm late. This is a topic near and dear to my heart- trying to plan a launch right now... #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell See? And I never blog toured with Don't Fear the Reaper. :-( #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



chel_c_cam I've started tweeting when I have ARC's and asking bloggers who are interested if they want a free copy. Good results so far. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



TheGiftedSeries @JessieHarrell @chelseafine How do you have a successful blog tour? Where do you start? #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @MichWritesBooks I usually try to establish a relationship with each blogger first. Then I give them #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @KatGirl_Studio giving bloggers a choice is a good thing. we/they probably all have their favorites. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @MichWritesBooks a personal synopsis of the book (not the jacket cover) and ask if they're interested in promoting/reviewing. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



katiekleinbooks RT @JessieHarrell Blog touring never has to end. can be concentrated early, but still need bloggers to keep you in public eye #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



laurapauling @adrianaryansc A lot wait until their book is ready or do the soft release first and blog tour later. #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @laurapauling They can be well worth it, cover reveals and release day posts can get your book out there #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Steenaholmes @JessieHarrell exactly! I have one right now that is going on 5th month- reviews, no blog posts-Keeps my book in front of readers #indiechat -9:20 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @SPNHeather Will do, then! :-) #indiechat -9:21 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SuttonShields @chel_c_cam Where's a Captain Jack Sparrow compass when you need one? lol #indiechat -9:21 PM Sep 18th, 2012

YASisterhood Anyone interested in doing a cover reveal for an Indie, New Adult, Contemporary romance? If so, tweet, dm or email me. #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012



overdunne Seeing as I've really only done one guest post (that would be yours) and one promotional post (@Tina_Moss) not much time. 1/2 #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012



courtney825 I am starting an author interview series on my blog in November, just to help authors gain a little extra exposure! #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @MichWritesBooks You can ask for leading questions :) and do other things besides guest posts :) #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @MichWritesBooks pick easy topics for guest posts. dream cast, soundtrack, excerpt, deleted scenes, etc. not that much work... #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



overdunne 2/2 but it's finding that time that's the challenge. It's fun though, and I'd love to do more. :) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @laurapauling Plan in advanced! Be prepared for last minute changes :) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



SuttonShields @SPNHeather @MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell @Girl_Who_Reads Oh my! That is AWESOME! What a wonderful thing to do! #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine @laurapauling I'm not going to lie. LOTS. I spend more time editing guest posts than I do writing chapters in my books. :) (1/2) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



beingbold Me too! RT @Girl_Who_Reads I hate saying no to authors b/c I can't fit in another review. So thrilled when they ask.. #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012



LynNerdKelley RT @laurapauling: @overdunne That's what the transcripts are for! #indiechat How do we find the transcripts? Stupid question, I know! -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



JessieHarrell @Froze8 you'll get there, girlie. get @srjohannes to write a character that looks like you. #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



KatGirl_Studio @courtney825 coolness are you look for guests? #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



ChelseaFine I'm really anal about making my guest posts perfect, haha. So, I'd guess...1.5 hours per post? Give or take. (2/2) #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



susankayequinn Wait, there's EASY topics for guest posts? *smacksforehead* :) @JessieHarrell: @MichWritesBooks pick easy topics for guest posts. #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Froze8 @SuttonShields Have you seen this feature I do?http://t.co/BhEqSggN #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



MichWritesBooks @Girl_Who_Reads Excellent! As long as it doesn't offend if we say, "I know you're busy," then offer up alternatives. #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012



Girl_Who_Reads Starting in Oct. I will have 3 guest post features in addition to my book feature and trailer showcase. #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012
