It really is hard to write a book. I think there should be a facility for a general announcement along the lines of
"Charles James has just published his new book - Guide to Packaging and Labelling Law 2011 - available from <link snipped> for £46 including p&p".
Might be a good idea, there are a lot of book writers here.
Of course, you can post links such as this in your profile. Posting it here might get your post deleted.
LOL that is one of the least subtle attempts to conceal raw self promotion I think I have ever seen. Frankly, I'd rather you just slap the link in and say, "Dude. Buy my book." At least that way I wouldn't feel like you think I'm an idiot.
Yeah-- but it is really hard to write a book.
True. My bad. lol. I'll come back when I finally get mine done next month. Be ready.
You can announce a book in the books area of the forum and people are very nice and supportive about it. That seems like more than enough to me.
I'm ready already. I just wanted to reiterate the OP's basic point.
I had a poit once, but they teased me in school so I saved up and had it surgically removed.
[oh, oh, you edited my joke to death]
I edited before you posted/ no harm no fowl (like ducks or chickens).
I could go on and on but I have a sick dog-- and it is not fun, gotta go,
Shadesbreath - thank you for your comment. I thought putting in a link would be over the edge of getting banned. This is also a genuine request for a feature. We are a community of writers after all.
Psycheskinner - thank you for the suggestion.
Rochelle - thank you for your support.

I have a very quick announcement today. We are retiring profile background photos soon (the images and themes you can set to appear as the background to your HubPages profile page).This is a feature that is relatively infrequently used. Additionally, when it is used, images are often uploaded that...

When an article is published, it is exposed to the general public at large. As a writers' community, it would be really helpful if we could read each others' articles so we can make suggestions on grammar, content, and organization BEFORE publication becomes available to the general public.Other...

As many of you already know about my publication on Medium, I started with the help and support of some wonderful HubPages friends, including Linda Lum, John Hansen, Pamela Oglesby, and Andrea Lawrence. I have taken the pub to the next level, and I am so happy that we made it a success. The...

Hello Beautiful Souls I have an idea as many of us are also connected on Medium. Why not start a Hubbers publication on Medium? All of us who will contribute to the publication will also be the editors, so it will be like self-publishing without the need to wait for someone to approve our...

Hi!I am new to HubPages and need HELP! I joined a couple of days ago and have only been able to publish one article. I am unclear as to how postings work. I was under the impression that once I chose a title for my hub, I could just continue to add new topics. I want my Hub...

I'm aiming to try Medium. I've seen others say things like, "It took me three months to figure out what I was doing there," so I'm trying to reduce that learning period with research. I've already learned a lot just from reading the Medium Guides, but I have a couple of questions, which...
