Bobbie Christmas sends a fine newsletter and I share it with my readers and friends -- not all of the newsletter, but a small part.
Go here to sign up and have it delivered to your Inbox.
Until we publish a book, we pay no attention to something like an ISBN. Learn more about it from Bobbie Christmas.
ISBN
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. Be sure not to call it an ISBN number, because the word "number" would be redundant. An ISBN is a numeric book identifier that aids booksellers and buyers in finding a specific edition of a specific book. Since January 2007, ISBNs have contained thirteen digits, but up to that date, America used a 10-digit system.
Publishers and self-publishers in the United States buy their ISBNs
from R. R. Bowker.
In my endeavor to help writers reach their goals I often list sites or books I have found helpful to me and my students at Writers Circle. I have found Bobbie Christmas' books and her newsletter to be among the best resources. Reach her at the addresses below::
