Escaping the Need to Know Everything

It’s no secret that the publishing world has a fear of digital technology. Ebooks especially are still often treated as the red-headed stepchild of the publishing world—a wild, untamed format that only those with high-level, specialized skills can attempt to conquer. The fact of the matter is, however, this simply isn’t true. Anyone who sets their mind to it can master the art of creating ebooks, yet most remain afraid to try. Specifically, people seem to be afraid they don’t know enough to even make an attempt.

The DNA of a Tip Sheet

The tip sheet is the DNA of any traditionally published book. It is a breakdown of every element of a book from its length to its market appeal, and, like DNA, it’s entirely invisible from the outside.

The Ocean in My Ears Book Launches with 90s Trivia

A book’s launch party should reflect the content of the book and the personality of its writer; it should be a celebration of all the hard work that went into creating the book and is seen as the culmination of all of that hard work…so, no pressure, right?

Telling Typography: The Growing Importance of Typography in the Ever-Changing World of Cover Design

For a book to stand out in the marketplace, the typography element must be as important as all other aspects of the cover. All of the pieces must work together to cultivate a feeling or message about what one can expect inside the book.

Alaska in the 90s: Get Ready to Hear More About THE OCEAN IN MY EARS on Social Media

p>We’re also lucky that the novel itself is a treasure trove of hilarious lines, mostly from its protagonist, 17-year-old Meri Miller. Take this, for example: “Alaska’s like two thousand miles away from anywhere cultured. No offense, Canada.” Keep an eye on Ooligan’s social media profiles this summer and fall to hear more about the upcoming The Ocean in My Ears.
