Publishing Successfully in 2011

When writing a book, it’s important to consider all the options for printing and publishing it, then getting it to your market.  In knowing many of these things even before you start, you’ll find the learning curve associated with various publishing options significantly less stressful, and you can save thousands of dollars in easily avoidable mistakes.

Here’s what you need to know about self publishing:

2. What your target market most wants from your book
3. How to identify your best selling features
4. What’s going to make your book really special?
5. What needs to go into your book at the front and the back of it
6. Layout and designing the inside of your book – tricks that publishers use
7. Covers – design and content that helps sell your book
8. Copyright and trade marks
9. Getting Endorsements – and being able to use them
10. How to get ISBN numbers and your responsibility with these
11. Working with editors and proofers – what’s the difference
12. Marketing your book – before it’s printed
13. Everything you need to know about printing a book
14. Using social media to promote your book
15. Distribution options – getting your book to your target market
16. What else you can do with your book to attract customers and opportunities
17. Amazon, Google Books, International book fairs and foreign rights
18. E-books – options to consider

There's a special new WEBINAR SERIES starting on 20th January where you'll learn about all these traps and opportunities, over 4 sessions.  It's spread over 5 weeks and packed with information, and I’ll send you templates and tools that will help you as you go. Each session is 60-90 minutes long and you can access the recorded sessions again in case you wish to review any of the information again. 

You'll get some of my specially created helpful bonuses Including:

• My special book writing template
• Book production checklist
• A Publisher’s ‘Cast-offs’ Costing template
• Press Release Kit
•  

All sessions are live, and fully interactive – you can ask questions during the sessions and even submit some beforehand.    Each 60-90 minute session is also recorded so that you can review the information later if you wish to or if you missed something.

This programme starts on the 27th January - be in quick as spaces are limited.
