How can we help you?

confused grammar guyDazed? Confused? Fed up with that page number that won’t show up properly on your new book? Ready to throw your computer out the window because you can’t figure out how to use a supposedly helpful website? About to stab someone because you’re getting five different answers to your grammatical question?

Well, put the knife down and type your WRITING RELATED issue in the comments section below.

If we’ve already run an article on your question, we’ll post a link to that in a reply comment for you (so please make sure you subscribe to comments).

If we haven’t run an article on it, we will put it out there to the IU staff to see who has expertise in that area, and we’ll get you some help.

Every once in a while, we’ll put out a post like this. (We even have a special feature for it called You Asked for It.) But you don’t have to wait for an all-call – if there’s a topic you’d like us to write about, just fill out the contact form and include your request. We’ll make sure someone gets back to you.

So go ahead, don’t be shy. We’re here to help.

Sure, we could continue to use our amazing mental powers to divine your areas of interest; or we could just ask you what you’d like to see addressed. That’s the whole point of our reader request feature, You Asked For It.

What’s on your mind? What issues, areas, controversies, tutorials, surveys would you like to see IU undertake? Our staff will divvy up the requests and hand-craft posts to tackle the questions asked.

Last time around, we got questions from IU readers Renee Pierce Williams, Elina Castro, Melody Stiles, J. Johnson Higgins, and Matt Valenti. Our staff divvied up the requests and wrote posts to tackle the questions asked.

So we are asking again. What’s on your mind? What issues, areas, controversies, tutorials, surveys would you like to see IU undertake?

You Asked For It: J. Johnson Higgins

Indies Unlimited reader J. Johnson Higgins asks, “If you are an author and your writing is different from your other professional work, what are some best practices for keeping your identities under control so that they don’t harm one another? Fun examples: It’s cool if you’re a forensic psychologist that writes murder mysteries (everybody loves that) but if you’re a school guidance counselor that wrote a fiction novel titled “I Slept with Your Mom then Killed Her!” I imagine it gets really strange when it comes time to promote.” Continue reading “You Asked For It: J.
