New Video Tutorial Released: How to Make a Book with Wordclay’s Publishing Wizard

March 27, 2008

Wordclay has released their latest video to provide a live preview of the publishing wizard working its magic to make a book. The three-minute video, How it Works: Wordclay Self-Publishing Walkthrough, can be viewed on YouTube among other video sites, such as Google Videos, Blip and Revver.

I’d describe the video as the How it Works page on Wordclay.com coming to life. It doesn’t give tons of detail about the intricacies of the wizard, but instead provides a basic overview if you’re curious about how to maneuver through the wizard.

So, who’s behind the Wordclay videos? They’re put together by a talented team, including our director Scott Schrimer, a movie buff to the core and self-proclaimed lover of all genres of movies (but his personal movie projects would reveal his passion for horror films. Check them out on YouTube … if you dare!).

Also in this crew is our very own blog contributor, Jenn Handy, who’s a master production assistant with an eye for detail. Put these two creative minds together, and our videos are born.

Next week, Scott will be posting as a guest blogger, so be sure to keep your eyes open and help make him feel welcome.

Enjoy our Wordclay videos and let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to see, whether it’s a particular genre of video, tutorials to format your book’s interior or a demonstration of a particular function on our Web site.

Weekly Writing Prompt

It ain’t easy being seen…think about the last time you did or said something to get noticed. For whose attention were you grabbing? Were your actions or statements out of character for you? Now write a story or poem that explores your desire for someone’s attention. What did gaining their recognition mean to you?

Weekly Writing Tip

Read before you write. Sometimes, curling up with a few poems or a good book can get your creative juices flowing. Read the authors who inspire you to get in the mood for writing. Try your best to live up to their example.

Last Week's Writing Prompt

Oh what a joyous holiday: Think back to a memorable family gathering for a holiday. Was there tension in the air over a bet or borrowed money? Was grandma stressed as she slaved over the stove and tried to maintain the peace? Undoubtedly, your family gatherings are unique and filled with their own interesting tidbits. Once you have a holiday event in mind, write a story a poem about what happened and perhaps what changed.

Last Week's Writing Tip

Don’t overwrite. Remember, you don’t necessarily need a paragraph describing the bus or a character’s kitchen, unless you’re absolutely sure such descriptions are necessary to the mood of your story. Otherwise, a long, unnecessary portrait will not only feel tacked on, but surely bog down your future readers. Always remain relevant and concise!
