  2. Happy Birthday, Evernight!

    Advice: Savor the moment… and then move on to the next book! Those things don't write themselves, you know. 😉

  3. Hmm…I'm not sure. I am not an author and don't aspire to be one, but I do love to read! 😉
    I would say, that no matter what, don't quit. Just keep writing.
    Thank you for participating in the hop.

  4. Hi! I dont have an advice. Im not an author. Just an avid reader! 😀 But from one reader to an author, never get discourage and dont take bad reviews to heart. And keep in touch with readers on social media. I love talking with authors, getting the scoop on character and future writing, etc. 🙂 Thank you!

  7. I'm not a writer but I would say find someone you trust and have the read your work and give you feedback.

  13. Not being a writer, I'm not sure I can answer this. From a reader stand point I'd say include interesting secondary characters who play an active role in the book (be more than cardboard background).

  17. Happy birthday Evernight Teen!

    Advice? Don't sweat the small stuff. Write because you love it first. Then keep writing while you submit your work for publication. 🙂

  19. Happy Birthday Evernight Teen! I would tell them to learn to say, "Yes, thank you," whenever anyone offers to buy or promote your book. There's no room for bashfulness in book sales!

    Great promotion, Lee! I look forward to catching up with your bloghop! Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

  20. Happy Birthday Evernight Teen! What an exciting celebration!

    I am still new at this publishing thing, as my book is coming out this year. So, I am enjoying the advice! I would say to make sure to start working on your online presence and getting to know other writers, bloggers, and people all over the world. So many people to learn from and great people to get to know. 🙂

    Thanks!

  22. Don't stress out and think that no one wants to hear what you have written. For there is someone, somewhere who needs to hear your words and for them it might change their life. So what if 100 people hate it? Changing one life is worth it! [email protected]

  23. Hi, I would tell them not to worry about who publishes them as much as making each novel as unique and spellbinding as they can. And, hey, great quote of the day, Lee!

  33. I'm not sure I'm qualified to give the answer to the question posed here, but congratulations to Evernight Teen for making it to your second year anniversary!

  34. Happy birthday Evernight Teen and many congratulations for Sudden Secrets. Wishing you continued success throughout the year.

  37. Hey Lee,

  38. I would love to win an e-copy of your book. I just read about it over at Dianne K. Salerni's site a few days ago (soooo behind here). Anyway, I don't have any answers to your question considering that I have yet to publish ANYTHING and am feeling rather spastic about it. I just wrote a blog that features plenty of spasms. We could conversate about how spastic and spasms really aren't related, but it isn't relevant. The point is "I got nothing but anxiety" and zero answers.

  45. Congrats to Evernight Teen!

    I would tell a new published author to be prepared for all the ups and downs. One moment, you sell a bunch of books, the other…a horrible review. Don't get too crazy-excited about the good, and don't get too down int he dumps about the bad. Even keel!

  53. I'm not a writer but I would say write what you believe and don't stop because of what others say. Happy Birthday!! grandmatinaof2(at)gmail.com

  54. Happy Birthday to your publisher. I would tell a first time author not to get discouraged if they're not instantly successful. Write the next book and the next. It might take many before your name gets out there in bestseller land.
