The ideas4writers blog has moved

Hello!

We have a new website at https://ideas4writers.com

Our blog has moved to https://ideas4writers.com/blog/

We look forward to seeing you there!

   


New ideas4writers website and blog

We have a lovely new website, and have moved to ideas4writers.com

The new website is also the new home of the ideas4writers blog, which now features extracts from our Date-A-Base Books. If you’ve been following the blog for a while you’ll probably remember these from a few years ago. We’ve brought them back!

We’re posting extracts 6 months in advance. As it’s currently June, this month’s extract features 31 historic anniversaries in December 2019 – one for each day.

We’ve also reintroduced Lifetime memberships. New members can sign up for a one-off payment of £79 and get access to all of our books – a total value of more than £230. New members will also be able to download new books and new editions as we release them, at no extra charge.

Current Lifetime members: you can download all of our books at the new site, just as before, but we’ll need to manually move your account from the old site to the new one. Please email us at mail@ideas4writers.co.uk if you would like your account moved.

The writing engines are not yet working on the new site. (They weren’t working on the old one either). They’re still a work-in-progress.

   


The Date-A-Base Book 2021 – now available

dates-2021--cover-264

We are pleased to announce that The Date-A-Base Book 2021 is now available.

It gives details of more than 2,000 newsworthy and notable historic anniversaries that you can write about and make money from, including events, discoveries, inventions, famous births and deaths, and more.

As usual it comes in chronological and sorted-by-date versions, both available as PDF ebooks, and the chronological one is also available in print (via Amazon).

Find out more and get your copy at www.ideas4writers.co.uk/2021

Lifetime ideas4writers members: please email mail@ideas4writers.co.uk to request your free copy.

   


Date-A-Base Books 2019 and 2020 sorted by date

Goods news for fans of our Date-A-Base Book series: we’ve just released the 2019 and 2020 editions in “sorted-by-date” format (1st January, 2nd January, etc) as well as our traditional chronological order. When you buy a copy, you’ll receive the links to download both versions.

If you’ve already bought the chronological version, email us if you’d like the sorted-by-date version and we’ll send you the link. We’re at mail@ideas4writers.co.uk.

ideas4writers members please email us if you’d like a copy.  You can download both versions from the members’ area of our website. But that part of the site is currently inaccessible because of a technical issue – we’re hoping to have it back online within the next few days.

Please note that the printed version (which you’ll need to order from Amazon) is only available in chronological order.

The 2021 edition should be available from the end of March 2019.
