2015 Publisher News: October

Hey everyone! Things are getting really exciting here at Writers Exchange E-Publishing! Except for the books that are waiting on new covers we have finished remaking all our  ebooks!!! That still means there are about 30 to go, but they will come in dribs and drabs as new covers are completed. We will be updating all our print books with the new covers we have made for the ebooks, but that won't start until January next year, and will be…

2015 Publisher News: November 2015 update and Christmas Special

Hello Everyone!! This has been a great month! We have released a few books, we have been getting some awesome covers, I have found some online tools for social media (my pinterest page actually has stuff on it now!) and image manipulation, that I have been having a whale of a time with! As someone who is artistically challenged, with a husband and daughter who are incredibly talented in that area, art has long been a sore point for me…

2015 Publisher News: May 2015

Hi all, Sorry for not writing last month, too busy with everything that was happening behind the scenes:) I decided to update ALL our books to the latest format (things change a lot over 15 years of operation, and some books are in their original state from way back then)! Updates included some new covers (with more coming), remaking all interiors (but not re-editing them) and a lot more links to other books in the "About the Author" sections! We…

2015 Publisher News: March What’s Happening at WEE… Meeting the staff, new collections

Hi all, You may have noticed that we have not put out any new releases in March. That was because I was off for a few weeks visiting the US, where I got to meet two of my very long-time authors: Robert Beers and Will Greenway and two of my cover artists: Laura Shinn and Josh Shinn and catch up with our editor and print formatter (my daughter) Jenna Cummins. It was great, they are all as wonderful in person…

2015 Publisher News: July 2015

Hi all! Well, as a follow on from May's post (missed June altogether somehow! Oops) we are still updating our books, didn't realise it would take so much time, but I suppose it is reasonable since we are getting close to 400 books:) Some of our new covers are absolutely AWESOME! I still have a bunch more covers to get finished before their books are updated but we are getting through the backlog quite well. We still managed to do…

2014 Publisher News: January – Update

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have updated the Writers Exchange blog, I have to admit, I am not too good as a blogger:) But I am hoping to change that. So I thought I'd start by updating you all on a few things coming up in 2014 that I know about currently. I would also like to create a bit more community around Writers Exchange, so if anyone has some suggestions on how they would like…

2014 Publisher News: December, Writers Exchange hits 14 years!

I realised this morning that Writers Exchange E-Publishing has been going 14 years this month! I hadn't even thought about it, but a couple of people congratulated me on LinkedIn, it must be in my profile... I really want to thank Will Greenway and Victoria Heckman for staying with me all these years - you guys were the first two authors I ever signed up! Rounding out the VERY early authors who are still in our ranks we have Lauralee…

2017 Publisher News: July DOS attacks :(

Hi all, This is just a quick update to let you all know that the Writers Exchange domain has been suffering Denial of Service attacks, which keeps making the main site, and this blog periodically unavailable. We are trying to find a way to combat this, but until we have it sorted the site will continue to go up and down periodically. We apologise for the inconvenience and recommend that if you are after a purchase, you go directly to…

2017 Publisher News: February

Hi all! Writers Exchange is thrilled to be adding new things to the blog for readers, I hope you are taking advantage of them. 50% off deals once per week, free short stories exclusive to this blog, free ebook collections that can introduce you to some of our more prolific authors at no cost:) I am currently concentrating on new releases and starting updating our print books!  There are quite a few that need new covers since having their covers…

2016 Publisher News: January 2016 update and some special announcements!

Hi all! Firstly...   WEE has finished the making slideshows up at the blog - if you look to the left you can see all our current covers for Fantasy, Romance, Mystery and Science Fiction.  We haven't done our other genres, because it would make the page scroll down too far, but you know where to go if you want to find the rest of our books:) WEE has also made some of our books exclusively for sale through Amazon.…
Merry Christmas from Writers Exchange

2016 Publisher News: December 2016

Hi all! Here in Australia it is 1 December 2016 - so for us the first day of summer (and apparently a scorching summer it is forecast to be). But happy first day of Winter for our northern members! December is also a very special month for WEE, as it is the month we officially started this business!  So this month is our 16th Anniversary!!! Yep we've been around since December 2000! A lot has been happening behind the scenes…

2015 Publisher News: September: Book updates, new covers, and lots more

Wow, what a few months we have had! As you know from earlier news posts we have been updating all our books to the latest formatting. We have been replacing a lot of covers while doing this, and updating bios to have our authors' latest books included, PLUS other books in their genres by other WEE authors! Because of all this our new releases have suffered a bit, but the end is in sight!  Other than books that need new…

2017 Publisher News: September

Hi all! Thank you so much for your patience recently for our quietness:) Most of you will be aware that the Writers Exchange website got hacked in July. Since then we have had to change hosting to a dedicated server and totally start from scratch with a new website! (https://writers-exchange.com) which looks totally different from the old site, and the colour scheme of this blog. Things did not go smoothly:) As of today I have nearly added 200 of our…

Publisher News: What’s been happening mid 2021

Hi all!   You may be wondering what's been happening with WEE, as we have not been doing tonnes of new releases, but have we been busy behind the scenes!   Firstly, due to Amazon being particularly awful to deal with recently, we are removing all our books from being sold from them exclusively, and are making new versions to sell everywhere!   Since we have to reformat the books--funnily enough, other retailers don't want any mention of Amazon--we have…

2018 Publisher News: November, Writers Exchange Video and update…

Hi all! It has been quite a while since I posted an update on what is happening with WEE:) We have just finished a major overhaul of all our ebooks, including new blurbs! That took a while:) Now that is over we will be doing more new releases more often than we have in the past couple of months, we will be doing a print overhaul starting December or January and we have time to make some fun stuff... Like our…

2019 Publisher News: 2019 Wrap up from Writers Exchange E-Publishing

Hi all! First I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in Writers Exchange this year, from our talented authors, artists and editors, to the wonderful people who buy our books!   This has been a huge year for Writers Exchange!  When a business has been around for 19 years you have to update periodically or else the products grow stale and irrelevant. So this year we completed revamping the interior formatting of all our ebooks and many…

2019 Publisher News: January

Hi all! I know it has been a while since you have heard from me directly (excluding new release notifications) but that is because I have been SOOOO busy! Late last year we finished our ebook upgrades to all our books, including picture books now made for Kindle at Amazon, new covers for some of our books (mostly Mid-Grade readers) and latest formatting:) December/January I have been head-down working on our print books!

2019 Publisher News: May 2019, finished ebook overhaul!!

Hi all, I thought it has been a LONG time since I updated everyone publicly on what we are doing at WEE, so I should write a quick blog post updating you all:) Let's see... We finished the major ebook overhaul we had been working on for 2 years at the end of last year. Woo Hoo!!! Now I have started on our print book overhaul:) A lot of our print books had very old interiors/covers, blurbs etc, and books…
