ATLANTA, GA, October 17, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Like most industries, writers are feeling the pinch of today's tough market. Neilsen BookScan reports that sales in 2009 are down anywhere from 1.7% to almost 20% depending on market segment over last year. And while sales are picking up in 2009, many publishers are finding it hard to stay open for business, let alone make money. But rather than hunker down and wait for the storm to pass, two authors are focusing on what writers can do to now.
"As writers ourselves, we just could not find an online community that contained the full spectrum of information we needed," says Melissa Thomas-Dubois, Co-founder and Editor at WritingSnacks.com. "Our mission is to provide a central repository where writers from around the world can share best practices and information."
With a focus on areas including improving your writing craft, new markets, marketing tips, and book reviews, the website it already getting positive reviews. Monthly interviews with successful writers who share how they sold that first manuscript or met just the right editor provide real-world advice for the writing community.
"We are so pleased to offer this service to others," says Dana Cleveland Konop, Co-founder and Editor at Writing Snacks.com. "Our approach of value-added benefits with success stories has been a winning combination for the site thus far."
