"How Do I Decide?" ...I'm in it!

It was a whole lot of fun to be included in this book!

Rachelle Gardner, literary agent extraordinaire, has released a small book that is of great help in doing away with all the myths surrounding self-publishing versus traditional-publishing.

Many of my readers have asked me what is the difference, and I have often received the same question at schools and other speaking events.

As I always say: "Research, research, research!" Nothing speaks amateur more than a writer who fails to research their publishing options before they approach an agent/editor.

I wrote an opinion piece that was included in this book, so if you buy it check out the section titled Author Perspective.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
