Who We Are

We're John and Randy, two geeky guys who've published a dozen books, won a fistful of awards, and earned a couple of pesky Ph.D.s between us. We know web technology  and marketing cold, and we're here to help fiction writers learn to write better fiction and to market it effectively.

Want to Write Great Fiction That Sells ... And Sells?

In this brave new world of electronic publishing getting published is easier than ever. BUT getting noticed is harder than ever. If you're not a techno-genius marketing entrepreneur, you might get left behind. 
That's why we're launching DitDat -- to give you automated tools that help you get the attention your fiction deserves. You do what you're good at, and we'll do what we're good at. DitDat gives you a revolutionary new website builder that lets you instantly add all of the following:
  • Email lists: As big as you want. As many as you need. 
  • Goody bags: Create electronic freebies to reward your fans. 
  • Integrated blogs: A blog built into your website gives you gobs of "Google juice."
  • E-courses: You create it. We market it. The better it is, the more you earn. 
  • Quizzes and surveys: A powerful viral marketing tool that readers love. 
  • "Tribe" pages: Let your readers build your fan pages for you. 
  • Online collaboration tools: Brainstorm. Build. Critique. 
  • Super tribes: Team up with other authors to harness your combined fan base. 
  • Honeypot pages: Create Google-optimized articles that draw readers like flies. 
  • Web books: Put your out of print books back in circulation. 
  • Rate Dat tool: Find out what readers really think. Reader ratings bring the best work to the top. 
  • Book pages: Promote each book with backcover copy, sample chapters, photo-albums, bookseller links, "director's cut" private pages, etc.

Timeline

We're still busy sharpening the tools, so you can't start using them yet. If you enjoy watching two guys work, take a seat and watch us build this site. We plan to launch DitDat in September, 2010. Until then, enjoy the show!

Coming Soon!
