The awesome co-hosts for the September 3 posting of the IWSG are Laura at My Baffling Brain, Mark Koopmans, Shah Wharton, and Sheena-Kay Graham!
Today marks three years since the very first IWSG post. Next month marks one year since the IWSG site and Facebook group opened. And we’d like you to help us celebrate!
Here are the details:
The three topics will be writing, publishing, and marketing.
Each contribution needs to be between 200 and 1000 words. Focus on one of those three aspects and give us your best tip or procedure. The essay can include bullet points, top ten lists, and recommendations. (Websites, software, books, etc.)
You can either post it for your October 1 IWSG post or email it directly to TheIWSG AT gmail.com or alexjcavanaugh ATearthlink.net (Since the length can go over the standard IWSG post length.) Include a one sentence byline and a link to your site. Also state that you give us permission to use it in the book and which topic it falls under. (We will only edit for misspellings and grammar mistakes.)
All submissions need to be sent or posted by October 2, 2014. We will compile them into an eBook and aim for an early December release. The book will be free and available for all eReaders.
Thank you for making the IWSG such a huge success!!

Wow... three years... where that time go, y'all?
LOVE the book idea and if there's a "for-the-love-of-all-that-is-holy-DON'T-DO-THIS" section, you know I'm there :)
It sounds like a great idea for an ebook.
Happy third year anniversary to IWSG!
Love the idea about the ebook, Alex! Would love to contribute.
Congrats once more on three years at your shore, we'll see what Pat or the cat can come up with lol

Congratulations! Three years...wow. That seems hard to believe! In one way, it seems like it just started but in another I feel I've always been here, posting and reading the insecurities of others :) Thank you for showing us we aren't alone and that we all have something to offer in this crazy, writing world! YOU ROCK, Alex, and we all appreciate everything you do!

Happy anniversary!
Great idea for a book! :)
The concept for the IWSG was unique. I didn't warm up to it for a while but eventually came around to its genius.
The book is right in line with the group. Sounds like a most excellent project.
Happy Anniversary. I'm brainstorming now and look forward to submitting!
I love the cover more every time I see it. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for the book.
What a great idea! This will help so many in the writing field
(IWSG Co-Host) Congrats on the anniversary! Best of luck compiling the ebook. I just might take part.
Great idea! Sadly, I missed today's post (too much going on), but I will definitely be on board for this.
Here's to many more successful years dealing with Insecurity!
Congratulations on the third anniversary :) Will look out for the book, but don't think I will have anything constructive to add to it! x
Congratulations on three wonderful years! IWSG is the thing that keeps me tethered to the blogging world.
Congratulations on your three year anniversary, Alex! And I love this free book idea. Since I've shared quite possibly all of my writing tips already on my blog, I am trying to figure out which one of my posts would be the best to submit. :)
Congrats IWSG on the 3rd Anniversary. The ebook is a wonderful idea.

Wonderful idea, Alex!
I'll write about writing, since I don't yet know anything about publishing or marketing. I have a list of good how-to write books.
Hey Ninja Captain! Congrats on the third anniversary of the IWSG! Uhmazing! I'm sorry it's taken me a while to respond but my alter ego and I just spent five days in the hospital, so we're doing our IWSG rounds tonight!
Am going to work extremely hard to have something valuable and worthwhile to contribute to the upcoming eBook. I'm so excited!:D
Have a wonderful night! Eva
Happy Anniversary! What a great idea! Don't know that I have anything worthy to contribute but will definitely watch out for the book! =D
