On August 11, 2011, in Articles, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

What is this all about, you may ask? Well, as a writer, my mind is full of ideas for new novels. Some of these ideas make it (The Bleeding Hills and American Male Prostitute), others are either put on hold or don’t make it at all.

On August 10, 2011, in Amazon Kindle, Articles, Book Reviews, Fiction, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

The question remains, what does it take these days to get a book deal with a traditional publisher? What do you do when, hypothetically, you are running out of time and mere talent is not the be-all and end-all?

American Male Prostitute – Thoughts by Author Wilfried F. Voss

On August 7, 2011, in American Male Prostitute, Wilfried F. Voss, Writing Update, by Wilfried F. Voss

To put it in a nutshell, today’s publishing world is divided into two principle sections. First, there is the exclusive pool of traditional publishers, and, second, the help-yourself shark tank represented by the so-called vanity publishers.

How I (Almost) Got A Book Deal Through Sex, Lies, And Deceit

On May 18, 2010, in American Male Prostitute, Blogging, Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss

Since I am having so much fun and success with maintaining my blog, why not post the progress on my newest novel on the world wide web? The best promotion for your first novel is the release of your second, and I didn’t have the patience to wait that long.

Scammers Know What An Aspiring Writer Needs

On February 19, 2010, in Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss

In another entry on this blog I couldn’t find anything good about literary agents and their apparent lack of business sense. At the same time I was very impressed by the business model and the professional attitude of the Writers Literary Agency.

However, with what I learned today, I am happy I didn’t sign the contract they had sent me. As it turns out the whole thing is a scam.
