Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER To tell you all about how to start your own book to get it published quicker than you think in 4 simplified steps. Trust me, it really is. A few of you have asked me how to get started so let’s begin, DETECTIVES.
First, get an idea and start drafting. Even if you aren’t sure, I promise you, if you write, “I don’t know” or “IDK” over and over again, something WILL come out.
If you can go the traditional route and find a publisher. Begin writing a query letter and this site has great tips to impress literary agents.
If you choose to self-publish, you can use my publisher, New Degree Press as an example: all of the royalties will be yours, it’s a bit pricey but I promise you, the benefits are worth it.
Trust in your journey: no one’s process is better or worse, right or wrong, you WILL succeed and become an author.
Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER To tell you all about how to start your own podcast for those who are curious, have asked where to begin, or just want to learn, this post is for you!
Be sure to have an idea of what you want to talk about. (NOTE: can be more than 1 topic or multiple podcasts if you wish). If you aren’t sure of a topic, you can draft or make an outline.
Think about your audience: for example, do you want your listeners to be more true crime lovers, early 20s, recent college grads, or maybe just a general audience?
For your platform: you can have it be YouTube, the Anchor app, Spotify, etc – I would suggest choosing Anchor because it’s completely free, gives you a great start, and you can see your data analytics (who listens when, where, how).
This is mainly a personal tip: but if any of you have questioned whether or not you would succeed if people will want to hear your voice, remember it is YOUR podcast – YOU move the reins.
HAVE FUN! Feel free to send me your podcast link and I will be happy to share it on mine
Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all about another unsolved crime that happened in New York City, but occurred over a century ago, the 1920 Wall Street Bombing.
On September 16th, 1920 at 12:01 P.M. EST, in the Financial District in Manhattan, Wall Street of New York City had been bombed. A horse-drawn wagon had stopped by at noon across the street from the headquarters of J.P. Morgan & Co. bank at 23 Wall Street. The wagon had 500 pounds of sash weights, and 100 pounds of dynamite inside that exploded due to a set timer detonation. The sash weights tore through the air, the wagon was blasted and the horse was killed in small remains. But the crazy thing is that witnesses saw the wagon driver leaving the scene and escaping through a side street of the city.
143 people were seriously injured, and 30 people were immediately killed with an additional number of 10 people soon dying from wounds sustained from the bombing. Due to the blast, over US$2 million ($27.1 million today) was lost in property damages with quite a bit of the interior spaces in the J.P. Morgan & Co. building also being destroyed.
The next day, September 17th, 1920, the Justice Department’s Bureau of Investigation presented the contents of a flyer that was discovered in a post office box on Wall Street right before the bombing occurred. On a piece of white paper, written in red ink, the words said “Remember, we will not tolerate any longer. Free the political prisoners, or it will be sure death for all of you.” The words on the bottom of the flyerwere: “American Anarchist Fighters.”Although, the city’s local police and BOI tried to figure out the culprit(s) of the bombing, the motive, and who was the driver of the wagon for three years, unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. To this day, this case remains unsolved. Also, the spooky aspect that I can confirm is that even over a century later, on 23 Wall Street, you can still see the damage left behind by the bombing, it is absolutely mindblowing. *This is NOT my image, PSA).
