The Scribe Blog, Book Bites and the resource library
Scribe publishes a lot of free articles, in three places that overlap. This page explains what each one is, how to find what you need without wading through everything, and which articles are worth reading at each stage.
- What it is
- The Scribe Blog, its Book Bites series, and a one-page list of how-to articles.
- Format
- Written articles.
- Length
- Hundreds of posts. Most are one read; guides run longer.
- What it asks
- Nothing.
- Where
- scribemedia.com/blog
The Scribe Blog
The blog covers writing, publishing, book marketing and author branding. The newest posts are at the top, which is the least useful way to browse it. Use the topic tags instead:
- Book positioning, for the deciding and planning stage.
- Book writing, for outlining and drafting.
- Book publishing, for choosing a path and getting the book made.
- Book marketing and Speaking, for after launch.
The blog also has a search box. Searching a specific phrase ("memoir outline," "launch calendar") is usually faster than browsing.
Picks by stage
These are articles we checked that are specific enough to act on, grouped by the stage they help most.
- Deciding: Is your book idea original? argues originality matters less than your perspective, and shows how to bring that in. I want to write a business book walks through objective, content, writing and publishing for business authors.
- Planning: How to outline your memoir is a step-by-step guide with a finished example outline, and fills the gap The Scribe Method leaves for memoirists.
- Writing: 9 ways to boost your writing motivation for when the plan stops working. How to use AI when writing a book explains the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted content and why it matters for Amazon.
- Publishing: Self-publishing vs traditional publishing includes a two-question decision tree. How to find a publisher for my book covers the same choice from another angle.
- Marketing: How to create a book launch content calendar and What to do (and not do) in a book launch social media campaign for the launch window. How to get a TED talk for speaking.
Book Bites
Book Bites are short posts adapted from books Scribe has published, each marked as about a three-minute read. Each one takes a single idea from a book, on leadership, health, money or work, and presents it as a stand-alone article.
They do not teach writing. Their use to an author is as a model: this is what one chapter of a book looks like when it is cut down into an article you could publish on your own site or LinkedIn. If you are planning how to market your book, read three of them and notice how each opens, makes one point, and stops.
The Author Resources Library
The Author Resources Library is one page that lists Scribe's how-to articles on writing craft, audiobooks, publishing paths and marketing, with a link to the success stories at the bottom. It is handy if you would rather scan a flat list than browse tags. The link labels are plain article slugs and the list is alphabetical, not by stage, so it works best when you already know what you are looking for.
Who it is for
Anyone with a narrow, specific question. The blog is the wrong place to learn the whole process, because articles vary in depth and repeat each other. It is the right place when you need one answer: how long should a chapter be, which audiobook route fits, how to plan launch posts.
How to get the most from it
- Learn the process from the book, answer questions from the blog. Read The Scribe Method for the spine; come here for the gaps.
- Check the date. Posts on platforms, prices and AI change. Older posts on mindset and structure hold up better.
- Stop at the pitch. Many posts end with a section on how Scribe can help. Read it if you are shopping; skip it if not.
Its honest limits
- Depth is uneven. Some posts are thorough guides, others are short.
- There is overlap and some repetition between posts, the book and the library.
- It is a company blog, so it argues for professional help more often than a neutral source would. The publishing posts, for example, lean strongly toward self-publishing with professional support, which is what Scribe sells.
Before and after
The blog has no fixed place in a sequence. Each learning path on this site names the specific articles that fit its stage.
