Technology Savvy Award Winning Authors

By Kelly Wood


The ability to manipulate the written word in such a manner that it becomes a valuable commodity is a talent well sought after by writers around the world. Each dream of the day when they will step onto a stage to accept a coveted award. This proves that they have got to the stage where they are recognized as having made a valuable contribution to the world. Award winning authors have made their mark on the pages of world history. They have been able to keep pace with the dramatic and often controversial changes that society has undergone. In doing so they have secured their success and livelihood.

Making it in the world of writing means skillfully combining the winning ingredients of talent and planning. Strategic thinking enables writers to determine the best way to capture the desired audience with their work. Sometimes they may need to enlist the help of others in getting this done.

For many of them, the journey has been made less of a hassle by a team comprising experts such as publishers and editors. This is especially true for writers who belong to the 'old school'. The manuscripts or first drafts of the literary product is submitted for review and enhancement and the writer trusts these experts with the task of ensuring that the world is captivated by their work.

Marketing through modern technology is the way to go for authors who are pushing for global recognition. Social media sites can be used to promote new and older works and reach a wider target audience. Additionally, a blog goes a long way in garnering more support for an author's work.

Electronic books known popularly as e-books have emerged as one of the avenues through which today's writers can turn their literary products into global best sellers. One of the great things about e-books is the fact they allow writers the option of self publishing.

There are online software that allow for the formatting and sale of the book without the intervention of traditional promoters. Once an e-book has been downloaded, it can be read via a personal computer, a laptop or any other device that allows the reading of digital content.

Of course working online does not necessarily mean that the publishers and editors are obsolete. Many writers still rely on these experts to get their work, even in the electronic format, ready for the world. Today's editors and publishers must therefore be aware of the many web-based opportunities that can be used to promote and market a book.

Life as one of the Award winning authors of the world is undoubtedly a rich one. If this life is the one you dream of, carefully consider your options. Select the path that is most likely to lead to your success. You may find that manipulating the world wide web for your purposes is the best route to your success.
