Interview: Author Melissa Foster

“… I would like to suggest that authors never give up. If you have a story you feel others will benefit from reading, then write it, no matter who tries to dissuade you.”

Author, Melissa Foster

 Author Melissa Foster has the very unique distinction of having not one but three books on The Write Agenda’s Author Watch – Best Sellers List. See: Best Sellers – November 19, 2011 (Click here) and Best Sellers – November 26, 2011 (Click here).  As of today, November 29, 2011, Come Back To Me, Chasing Amanda are both ranked #1 and #2. Megan’s Way is not far behind at #11. We expect her books to remain on The Write Agenda’s Author Watch – Best Sellers List for several weeks. Melissa’s historical (not hourly) Amazon Sales Rankings are worth noting:

The Write Agenda was fortunate to have the opportunity to have a Q & A with this amazing self-published author and book marketing maven. This is truly developing into another great success story and demonstrates the right mindset that authors need to have that choose to not go the “traditional” way.

TWA: Where are you from? Tell us about yourself.

Melissa: I grew up in Rockville, Maryland, and have never strayed far from the area, although that’s been more by circumstance than design. I’m sister to six warm and talented brothers, daughter to an incredibly smart and generous mother, and mom to six wonderful children. I’m a wife, mom, author, and major brownie addict. The things that make me happy are the things that can’t be bought. I love to share happy thoughts and repel negativity like reverse polarity. Nothing shocks me and I find the good in most everyone.

TWA: Tell us your latest news?

Melissa: Biggest news?  I actually spent an entire 2 hours with my husband today with no one under 13 years old around us. Oh, you want book news? We’re about 18 months out from Megan’s Way becoming a film, and I’m knee deep in my fourth novel, Thirty-six Hours.

TWA: When and why did you begin writing?

Melissa: This sounds very cliché, but after setting my son down for a nap about 20 years ago, I was overcome with a pull toward pen and paper.

TWA: What inspired you to write your first book?

Melissa: When I wrote Megan’s Way, the story was driven by an incident with my mother. She’d had surgery and didn’t tell me that the doctors thought she had cancer, and if they’d have found cancerous cells, she wouldn’t have consented to treatments. That was 20 years ago, and treatments have, thankfully, come a long way. A year later, she told me the truth, and the memory festered for 15 years, until Megan’s Way was born.

Come Back to Me was born of my innermost fears the summer before my husband served a tour in Iraq, and Chasing Amanda blossomed from a mother’s worse fears—the abduction of a child.

TWA: Do you have a specific writing style?

Melissa: I’m a total pantzer. I write what I feel, and even when I try to outline, I don’t follow it very well. The ink leads and I follow.

TWA: What book are you reading now?

Melissa: I’m reading The Ophelia Trap, by Kate Burns, and its very good. I’m also rereading The Color Purple, by Alice Walker—a timeless masterpiece.

TWA: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members?

Melissa: An entity? I’m not sure about an entity, but I have the full emotional support of the women I think of as my Nest sisters. The Women’s Nest is a social and support community that I founded a few years ago, and the women on the site have always been there for me, pulling me through the moments when I’m having difficulties, and cheering me on in my moments of excitement. I’ve also found tremendous support from my Twitter friends. That seems funny, I’m sure, but we’ve become such a social network world, that I don’t find it odd at all that many friends—and although we’ve never met, I do consider them friends—have been there to support me. It’s a wonderful universe that we live in, and I think the universe brings us those that we need in our lives.

TWA: Do you see writing as a career?

Melissa: I see writing as a gift, and a career. Even if I never make another penny off of writing, it’s a career I’m passionate about, one that is fulfilling on many levels, and one that allows me to give back. I feel very lucky and blessed to be a writer.

TWA: There’s many author blogs on the internet that warn writers, like you, regarding the pitfalls of self-publishing. Did these sites have any bearing or impact on your choices? Do you spend any time monitoring these sites?

Melissa: I don’t have time to monitor such sites, and I did not let any of those sites shape my decisions. We are in a very unique era in time for publishing. There are more opportunities for authors now than ever before. I tend to follow my own path and desires, and when I hear that I can’t do something, it only fuels the fire for me to work harder and prove that I can.

TWA: Do you have any advice for other writers?

Melissa: Yes, I would like to suggest that authors never give up. If you have story you feel others will benefit from reading, then write it, no matter who tries to dissuade you. Writing is a solitary and often lonely process (unless you’re like me and have conversations with your characters!). You need to write for you, not to satisfy others, or you’ll probably give up. It’s also vital that writers see their work as important and as a product. You should always produce the best product that you are able, even if it takes longer than you’d hoped, or costs more to produce. I firmly believe that every book in print should be professionally edited—not by a relative or family friend, but by a completely separate, professional editor who will not only copy edit, but content edit. I believe that we authors see the story that we believe we’ve written, rather than the words on the page. We see what we know to happen next, and it makes sense to us, we wrote it. Editors see books from a reader’s perspective. They don’t know where the book is headed or the backstory of the characters. Their eyes are fresh and they can quicken the pace and show where more depth is needed. It’s a pricey process, but very valuable. I feel we owe it to our readers to produce quality products. After all, we have one reputation, why take a chance at marring it?

TWA: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Melissa: Thank you, readers, for taking the time to read my books and share them with others. I appreciate your faith in my writing. As a means of giving back to the literary community as a whole, I am developing the WoMen’s Literary Café, a literary community to whose purpose is to bridge the gap between readers and authors, and to promote great literature. We have several exciting events in December, including The Year of the Indie Celebration (Buy 3 eBooks and Get 1 Free), two book launches, and our New Release feature which brings books that were released last month to our readers. We’re giving away free books, bringing wonderful new authors and household names to readers, and generally having a wonderful time. I hope you’ll join us.

Writer Beware Seems to be Defending Book Country

Blogger Get’s it Wrong: Amazon Sales Rankings are Valuable Metrics if Benchmarked over Time

“Uh, the Amazon Sales Ranking? That completely useless metric of book sales . . . . In other words, it means nothing. It’s a hourly popularity contest. If someone buys 100 copies of my book, my Amazon ranking will shoot way up for that hour then fall again.”

 –      From an Author’s Blog

The author of this quote (above) would like readers to conclude that The Write Agenda is “wrong” regarding its use of Amazon Sales Rankings. However, in fairness, it is true that Amazon Sales Rankings are updated every hour. Also, Amazon Sales Rankings are only one benchmark in measuring the success of an author and his/her book(s). We’ve never claimed that Amazon Sales Rankings are the exclusive resource; it’s a valuable tool and nothing more.

The Write Agenda’s use of the Amazon Sales Ranking data is not an hourly process. The data is measured over time (weeks and months) for consistency to establish a history for a particular book. For example, Author Anna Mara’s Her Perfect Revenge, published by Outskirts Press, was listed at #1 on our Author Watch – Best Sellers List for 12 weeks straight.  The Amazon Sales Ranking were: 81, 82, 86, 81, 107, 190, 228, 271, 334, 472, 572, and 961. In addition, Author Anna Mara’s Her Perfect Revenge, while no longer at #1, has continued to remain on the Author Watch – Best Sellers List since that time and consistently performs within our guidelines. Dr. Laurence B. Brown’s The Eighth Scroll, published by BookSurge Publishing, was #1 six (6) times.  Moreover, there are numerous examples of other authors books that are consistent performers on our Author Watch – Best Sellers List. We would also be remiss not to mention that many of these successful authors, to the dismay of Writer Beware™, are in fact published by entities listed on their so-called “Thumbs Down” list. The significant difference here is that 100’s of books are being sold beyond the “hour” window. In the spirit of Yog’s Law, money is flowing to these authors . . . as it should. The difference is that they have written good books that people want to read.

 We find it ironic that the author of the quote above would even make such an intransigent statement as this. Upon a cursory review of this particular author’s book sales data we discovered, as expected, some very dismal sales data. A book that he published in 2002 has a current sales ranking of 10,269,826 with one (1) 4-Star review. There was a subsequent book, published in 2004, that has no sales data available or any reviews. Therefore, it appears unlikely that his Amazon Sales Rankings will change anytime soon. Unless, of course, “[if] someone buys 100 copies of [his] book.” Just as bad spellers always say that “bad spelling has nothing to do with intelligence,” bad authors with bad books will always say: “Amazon Sales Rankings are a completely useless metric of book sales.” These comments were posted by this author with the intention of defending Victoria Strauss (see Victoria Strauss Critical of Indie Authors Successes: The Voice of Envy). Victoria Strauss has continued to downplay the significance of Amazon Sales Rankings as well. While many view our Boycott List as an opportunity to boost their book sales, the placement of Victoria Strauss on our Boycott List has not improved her Amazon Sales Rankings. Again, this is historical data and not an “hourly” measurement of Victoria Strauss’ Amazon Sales Rankings:

350,363	326,903	276,467	268,780	225,359	31,606	377,630

 Let’s take this opportunity to review the Amazon Sales Ranking metric once more. Again, Amazon Sales Rankings are only one of the numerous benchmarking tools.  There is a logical mathematical equation that proves that there is more validity in actual science (and proofs) versus mere rhetorical and salvation-based opinion. The equation can convert the Amazon Sales Rank into the actual number of sales on a weekly basis. The formula is:

Sales/week = e to the power (10.526-(.87*sales rank)

To put this into an Excel spreadsheet: =EXP(10.526-(0.87*LN(rank)))

This data has been actually vetted by four scientific studies that reviewed 1000’s of various titles. In addition, the authors of these studies found a direct and predicable relationship between the Amazon Sales Rankings and the actual Ingram sales data. In conclusion, Amazon Sales Rankings are a valid benchmark to measure and predict your book sales. Don’t be convinced by rhetorical statements, ignorant conjecture or opinions when scientific evidence is readily available. This is science not Science Fiction. Amazon is the world’s #1 online bookseller.

Rank	Copies Sold/day
1	3000
10	650
100	100
1000	13
10,000	2.2 (11 copies every 5 days)
100,000	0.2 (1 copy every 5 days)
1,000,000	0.006 (3 copies every 500 days)
2,000,000	0.0001 (1 copy every 1000 days)

Victoria Strauss Critical of Indie Authors Successes: The Voice of Envy

“Isn’t this precious? If The Write Agenda randomly adds you [sic] its so-called ‘untraditionally published authors best seller list,” you can now download your very own badge. (Where’s the badge for the boycotted author list?? I want one.)”

– Victoria Strauss,  Facebook Page & Absolute Write Posting

Is it just us or is Victoria Strauss envious of the authors on our Best Sellers list?  Actually, read the Victor Strauss quote and pretend that you are hearing it in Audrey Hepburn’s voice  . . .  priceless. It would actually be more “precious” to have the opportunity to put Victoria Strauss on the Best Sellers List. . . but we can’t. We’ve tracked her books for months and they continue to rank in the gutter. P.N. Elrod has claimed that every time she appears on The Write Agenda’s Boycott List she gets a jump in her sales. While we would like to take credit for that, we’ve been on Victoria Strauss’ books since day one and there’s never been any indication . . . ever . . . that this has helped her sales. None of Victoria Strauss’s books  have ever in their lifetime broken the 10,000 Amazon Sales Ranking. We find it increasing interesting that these Weinerdogs continue to downplay the significance of Amazon Sales Rankings, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the decision of police authorities to not investigate their purported claims. (See: Blogger Get’s it Wrong: Amazon Sales Rankings are Valuable Metrics if Benchmarked over Time). Precious? Victoria Strauss  gives a lot of attention to The Write Agenda  doesn’t she? Why is that? You decide.

Indie authors rise up! Don’t let Victoria Strauss trash your success. Please feel to send your comments to our attention. Ridicule . . .  more . . . more ridicule of Victoria Strauss! Post your badge proudly . . .  you have earned it! There’s nothing “random” about it.
