We're living in what some are calling the ‘platinum' age of TV and visual storytelling, with opportunities to reach viewers all over the world with our stories. But it's still hard to get noticed. In today's episode, screenwriting tutor, Selina Ukwuoma, outlines international possibilities, plus her tips on writing a stand-out script. In the intro, I talk about Apple’s announcement about IOS12 coming this Fall [The Verge]. iBooks will be renamed Apple Books and will feature a new “Reading Now” section, an updated library view that puts a better emphasis on your content, and a new Apple Books store. I really hope this means we’ll see a better emphasis on books with Apple, and perhaps more integration with audiobooks. In the Advanced Self-Publishing Salon this month, Orna Ross and I discuss #cockygate, the advance of APub imprints, and how to build a team of professionals for your writing business. Plus, join me and Mark Dawson for a free webinar this week on How to use Facebook Ads to boost your book sales and build your email list, with a live Q&A.
