		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill Would you like your image to show up beside your blog posts on Google Search? If you are in the business of getting known and selling more books, who wouldn&#8217;t want to be more visible on Google? Go ahead. Google my name and see what happens. You will find me easily as I am the only Aishah Macgill on the planet, as far as I know. But, that&#8217;s not all! You will also see my photo on Google beside some of my posts. I will show you how to do it. It&#8217;s easy if you follow these instructions. Two essentials are required for this to work properly. 1. A great author image 2. A website and email address of the same name First of all, make sure you have an image of yourself of good enough quality to use. Head and shoulders shot is good. You must have a recognisable image of yourself for this process. Secondly, you must have your domain name in use as an email address. If you have your domain, any domain, and a website operating using that domain name i.e. aishahmacgill.com, you must get this forwarded to your gmail as a verified email: i.e. aishah@aishahmacgill.com or info@australianwritersrock.com, whatever your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill It&#8217;s bigger than Ben Hur! More controversial than the Archibald prize! With the kind assistance of everyone who responded, I have now decided on the final book cover. It was very close with numbers 4, 6 and 8. In the final round up of people who commented, number 6 was the outright winner, but only by a whisker. I soaked up the praise and listened to the criticism. I went back to number 6 and tweaked it a bit. Here is the unveiling of the final book cover for my new novel, The Day My Mother Murdered Herself. Thanks everyone for helping out! Appreciated.

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill My latest novel is almost finished! In the meantime, I have been working on my bookcover design. I can&#8217;t decide which one to use. Please tell me which one you like best, if any! Please comment below with the number. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. The number is on the bottom left hand corner of each cover. By the way, this story has nothing to do with my own, wonderful mother! It&#8217;s pure fiction!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill As a book formatter and book designer, one of the things that often crops up when I am getting a raw manuscript ready for publication, is tidying up all the itty-bitty, little things, like extra spacing, inconsistent paragraphs, different headings. It can be a real hotch-potch. Often these inconsistencies are idiosyncratic to the author. Hopefully, by the time I get to this step, a book has been edited and proof read. However, often I am still confronted with a job that should be small, but often takes time to clean up &#8211; that is what dash to use throughout the book? There are two main options here. Sometimes an author will use all of them at random. They will use one style, then another in all the wrong places. To get the correct meaning and to make the book uniform throughout, often it has to be done manually, dash by dash! There is the question of whether to use the en-dash or the em-dash? For words that are conjoined, you would simply use the dash on the keyboard. So when you are writing a book, might I suggest it would be a good idea to decide which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill Many authors finish all the hard work, then it&#8217;s time to begin the book promotion and marketing phase. One obvious way of doing this is to hold a book launch. A book launch is not only a great way of the author experiencing a sense of completion and celebration, it also says, &#8220;I&#8217;m ready to take on the world!&#8221; I have been to a few book launches. The best ones were the ones that didn&#8217;t try too hard to impress. There is nothing like a room full of happy people, chatting and milling about after the &#8216;formal&#8217; start to a book lauch. Here is my checklist: make it free entry invite people and tell them it&#8217;s okay to invite whomever they wish to &#8211; a full room creates buzz! invite your social media friends, facebook, twitter etc hold it in a venue like a cafe, restaurant, club or similar that provides food and drinks that people attending purchase themselves. This way the venue are not usually fussed about how many people show up or not, the more the merrier! get there at least one hour before start time to set up and to catch the early birds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill More news is filtering through the grapevine that Amazon are removing legitimate book reviews. The latest ripple is that Amazon are deleting book reviews by authors about other books in the same category as the two authors. Make sense? Apparently book reviews posted on Amazon do not belong to either the reviewer or the author. All book reviews belong to Amazon. If someone has reviewed your book on Amazon, you may not use that review elsewhere for any purpose. For example, on your own blog or in any other publications. The review posted on Amazon is exclusive to Amazon. If you wish to refer to it, you may refer to it via a link from your blog back to Amazon or perhaps a short quote from it. To keep your reviews safe, I would recommend any author or reviewer to cut and paste a copy of any reviews into a document on their computer and keep them in a file. If Amazon ever remove the review, I would suggest it is okay to then use it elsewhere. If there is anyone out there in cyberspace who would know any different, please let me know and I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Aishah Macgill Break out the bubbly! Yesterday evening, I made it to an Amazon best seller list! It is in a niche list, but nonetheless, I am over the moon. I hit number 81 in the New Age-Reincarnation category. I was just behind Shirley McLaine, the actress. Shirley is an author I have read and admire greatly. The book that ranked is the first in a trilogy of books I have been working on; The Bone Thrower, Dreams of a Past Life. As if you haven&#8217;t noticed, it&#8217;s splashed all over my website! To be listed on Amazon in the top 100 of any niche is a dream come true. Hopefully, I can post one day soon that I am in the top 10 or maybe even number 1? I have not had a book launch yet as I am waiting until I have finished book 2, The Bone Whisperer. I plan to offically launch 3 books simultaneously, perhaps 4? You are all invited to the launch, which I plan will be in March 2013. I had better get back to work to get them all ready in time! If you would like to read the first book in [...]]]></description>
