These days we all know that writers need blogs. But blogs
need content, and therein lies our dilemma. How much information should we give
away for free on a blog?
This is less of an issue for the fiction writers out
there—it’s common knowledge that publishers frown on authors sharing large
chunks of a fiction manuscript in advance of publication. There are exceptions to this, but they're just that, exceptions.
The gray area comes with those of us who write non-fiction. We usually build our sites around the topics of our books. How much valuable—publishable—information can
we really afford to give away? The answer may surprise you.
