How to Publish and Promote Your Book Now!



I’ve been involved in the publishing industry for almost ten years and taught publishing and promoting seminars for over five years. They are my favorite seminars - I get so fired up when I speak in front of a room of hopeful writers! After years of attendees asking for a book, not to mention my husband prodding me to write one, I finally wrote one. And today, I can finally say - yes, I have a book!

  1. I took a "look inside" over at Amazon. The chapters are extremely short, which can be either a plus or a minus. However, currently I'm reading everything I can on this particular topic, so I'll buy and read the book as part of my research.

  5. Diane, what an asset you are to our team! Heading to Amazon to get my copy now. Sounds like it will answer all the stuff that's been rattling around as I work on my first novel...which is far from done (17% if you're doing NaNo...which I did...)

  7. This is awesome, congrats!!!! Haha, I just sent in my first manuscript and have decided that if going traditional doesn't work, I will self-publish. Now I know what to get if I go that route! :D

  8. Tina, thank you. I hope I can use what I know to help the team.

    Konstanz, over half the book is on promotions, so it will help you either way.

  10. Much congrats on your book release! The next writing/publishing seminars will be a hit when attendees find out that they can grab a copy...especially if autographs are given on the spot :)

    Cheers!
