Book Review Up!

Book Updates Exposure

After months of anticipation, I got my first book review from the lovely people at Wrecked for the Ordinary!  Granted, it certainly wasn’t a glowing review, which is tough.  It’s hard to have your first book be misunderstood in public!  However, this will not waver me.  I have been making contact with other outlets to [...]

Off to the Races!

Finally, after unnecessarily prolonging the awkward “tell your friends to buy my book” ploy, my publisher and I have finished my press release!
For those of you who don’t know, a press release is a formally written announcement that your book exists.  The purpose of these is to get media outlets (stores, radio stations, blogs, podcasts, [...]

Today Selling Books

Right now I am sitting in my living room, with a pen and a pile of books in front of me.
Why is that?  I am too poor to afford a book signing at a book store, and my apartment is free (for book signings anyway).  
I think it is starting to sink in that I [...]

Today Released!

Today is the day!  
For those of you not attending the book signing at my apt., the book Green Bean Spirituality is now available for online purchase!  I don’t know if it will ship out of the U.S. just yet, but in time the Amazon page will be up!  If you are within the intercontinental [...]

The Belly of the Beast

The day of Green Bean Spirituality is readily approaching! Currently, the manuscript rests in the pre-media phase of press, and by the middle of next week it’s off to the races!  I should “easily” be getting the first 175 copies of the book by Dec. 13th.  For those of you in the Newark area, I encourage [...]

Prodigal Magazine

Through my connections with Wrecked for the Ordinary, I have started submitting articles to Prodigal Magazine!  If you haven’t heard of Prodigal, they are an up-and-coming men’s Christian magazine and have over 2,000 articles ranging from fantasy football to fatherhood.  
I am also beginning talks with them to get a book review for Green Bean [...]

More Articles!

I have really been growing to love Jeff Goins and the lovely people at Wrecked for the Ordinary! 
Within the past month and a half or so, they have run two more articles I have written!  Count this as my excuse for not writing any essays as of late, seeing that I can only commit myself [...]

A Friend and a Blogger

A friend of mine who has since graduated, travelled the world, and enrolled at graduate school (rather impressive resume) stumbled across a copy of Green Bean Spirituality and blogged about it!  She (Sarah) also was the same person to reference me to Wrecked for the Ordinary who allowed me to write a column on their [...]

My First Article!

A friend of mine directed me to a snazzy online magazine called Wrecked for the Ordinary.  The columnists focus on issues revolving around modern spirituality, and social justice issues.  
Just today, they accepted a piece I submitted into them, thus being the first press to publish one of my works!  You can check the site [...]

A Delightful Article!

At University of Delaware, we have a lovely newspaper called “The Review.”  
In this past weeks issue, there was an article featuring my writing, and some of my life otherwise.  Check out the link here!
I have also made a few contacts such that more media exposure could be coming again pretty soon!  I will be [...]

Writers that Aren’t Me…

Today I came across something particularly interesting…another writer my age!  Granted, he has been traditionally published and is making a bit more of a name for himself, but we still couldn’t drink in a bar while we were writing our manuscripts and that means something to me!
Kevin Roose recently published “The Unlikely Disciple” which documented [...]

In Today’s News…

There has been a ton going on with Someday Published as of late!  For example, I have business cards now!  Oh baby!
Firstly, the book is getting ready to hit the production phase.  The creative stage is wrapping up with one of the most incredible cover designs drawn up by my friend Justin.  The final [...]

Yet Another Essay…

I don’t feel like I was trying to be festive…but today I released another essay to the public!
You can find it on the “My Works” page under the heading “On Personal Worth: Infinity is Greater than Zero.” Naturally, I encourage you all to read it, then join the facebook group for Someday Published and [...]

New Narrative!

It’s true, I am not Nicholas Sparks, but I can write romantic too!  I guess not as much though because while his titles are things like “A Walk to Remember” mine is “An Invitation to Stink.”  In any case, I put a new narrative up today about a lesson I learned in the humility of [...]

New Essay!

Some people sit around and enjoy fruitcake over the holidays… 
Unfortunately, I don’t enjoy fruitcake, and I didn’t really “sit around.”  Today I finished my essay which is my debunking of the best-selling book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.  Though the essay is my most analytical piece, I think it will probably cause a pretty interesting controversy. [...]

A Big Week!

As most of you already know, I finally finished writing my “Religion and Politics” essay.  Don’t be afraid of it please, it is a normal and healthy discussion of how politics has divided the Christian community.  Check it out on the “My Works” page!  Also, try to get on the Facebook group “Someday Published” and [...]

New Make Up Kit!

So, you may have noticed that the site looks exponentially less bad.  It’s true!  Thanks to a friend of a friend this site has gotten a bit of a much-needed facelift!
There isn’t too much to report on anything literary, unless you consider email literature.  My squirrelmail account went down, so ben@somedaypublished.com hasn’t been getting so [...]

The Future…

In a bit less than a week I will be getting books shipped to my humble abode.
This means a few things could happen:  
1.) I could get comfortable and just focus on the book, allowing the site to fall by the wayside.
2.) I could feature NEW authors with NEW works and NEW ideas.
3.) I could [...]
