Welcome Home to Spiridus House
I have been writing longer than I can remember, dreaming about the ability to write and someday be published by the big publishing houses. Thirty some odd years later and I'm published but the industry isn't what it used to be. Six years ago I started writing professionally. Three years ago I was finally offered a contract with an Indie Publisher. An exciting day for me, for sure!
But then came the 'work' and I don't mean writing the next novel. I found out I had to be my own marketer, get my name and my books out there to the readers. I listened to my friends and mentors in my writing groups, read blogs and books on how to market, what you needed to have, etc. But as things changed, so did my ability to stay up to date, find the links and programs I needed and spend countless hours on the Internet hunting for just the right people and links to get me where I needed to go.
I just don't have the time. Not if I want to write, too. Which is my main goal.
So after months of having this idea niggling (is that a word...I like it, so it's MY word) at the back of my brain, I decided to do something about it. I have met so many writers and authors in the same boat as I am, but I've also met wonderful people who serve the writing industry. Why not combine the two into one site in which both people can socialize and network?
Spiridus House is a network based site in which there is no one person. It is a home for each of us, sharing ideas, about our skills and what we have to offer each other.
Spiridus House is looking for you to become a family member if you:
Spiridus House is looking for all offers and price ranges in the service industry. Pages for links are set up to guide you to someone who can help you and your budget. We are looking for pro-bono workers just starting out, all the way up to professional grade businesses who've been in the industry for many years. This way, depending on your budget as a writer/author you connect with someone who can help you and in return, receive your business to grow.
We are also looking for those of you who could share your experience and information in insightful blog articles and formats. Please see the contact page for further information.
I hope you find this house a friendly, helpful place in a business where working alone is essential, but where feeling alone is never an option. I look forward to growing our house by sharing ideas on how we can make Spiridus House a strong foundation in the ever changing world of writing and publishing.
