Fiction Branding… Part 16
More On Branding To… Four branding posts in a row. I am sort of focused on it at the moment, more than ever. Great stuff happening coming out of the Licensing Expo last month, so that might be the reason. (grin) Two major areas of branding I did not talk about in the last few posts are “branding to setting” and “branding to character. Both are major items in helping both branding to readers and branding to other businesses. In fact, character can often be a major part of branding deal from business to business. But at the same time, setting and world in other business deals. For example, there…

Branding… Part 15
What Do You Brand To?… I got that question a few days back and it took me a while to really think about it. My first reaction was to say you brand to genre or sub-genre. Then I realized that was just one focus of a brand to get readers, so was the answer that you brand to attract readers? Well, yes, sort of, at times, sure, nope, maybe… Turns out the question was a great question. And there is just not one answer to the question, other than… “It depends.” So let me run through just a few of the really, really basic answers. For all indie writers, we…

A Five Year Problem… Branding Part 14
Careful on Trademarks… I know this is going to go way, way over most heads here, but I’m having fun so what the hey… I have always warned about registering trademarks unless you have one of a thousand good legal reasons to do it and are willing to pay a lawyer (you must have one who know what they are doing). My warning is always on the back end, all the filing dates and such you cannot miss with a registered trademark. (Just as with copyright, registering trademark is optional. You don’t need registration to own and control copyright or trademark.) Copyright is the most overlooked area of IP by…

Fiction Branding… Part 13
Branding Is Fun!! No clue if any of these branding posts go into any kind of order. I will figure that out down the road if I decide to do something with them. At the moment I am just learning and thinking. I realized a while back that branding a series was fun in a bunch of ways. Ways that hit me where I write and live, actually. I realized this when I found myself doing a “chart” of a brand on a series. (More like a rough spreadsheet.) Not anything for public consumption or a sales tool to a licensee. Just sort of me, for fun, keeping track of…

Here We Go Again… New Kickstarter
After a Couple of Months Away… Tomorrow we launch at noon the GHOST OF A CHANCE Kickstarter Campaign. We are finally rebranding my GHOST OF A CHANCE books into something I can be proud of. Let me tell you, the previous covers sucked… And sold worse. I love these five books and these new covers and rebranding this as Romantasy has got me excited to write more of them. And I am really excited about the two special workshops included with this campaign. — FINDING YOUR READER This is a special three-week workshop on how to find the readers for the books you wrote.
