The orders are coming in. Yes! I am so pleased to know that you will be studying The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book before you get too far into producing your book. This book will guide you in understanding the publishing industry to the point that you can navigate it more successfully. It will apprise you of your options and help you to select the best one for you. And it will lead you through all of the steps toward successful publication and successful marketing and promotion.
Two questions I get regularly are: What’s the best publishing options? And What’s the best way to promote a book?
Here is my response—one response for both questions: It depends on you and it depends on your book. And my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book, will give you the information, resources and understanding so that you can make the right choices and decisions on behalf of your project.
Patricia Makes the Big Time
I received a newsletter from Anvil Publishing, Southern Review of Books this morning. (This is one of about two dozen newsletters I receive each month.) Publisher, Noel Griese, created a chart showing the top selling (most popular) books on book promotion as far as Amazon’s sales are concerned. My book, Over 75 Good Ideas for Promoting Your Book ranks as number 13 out of 27, beating out books by Brian Jud, Fern Reiss, Marilyn Ross, M.J. Rose, Penny Sansevieri, Shel Horowitz, Rick Frishman, to name a few.
And you (my blog readers) can get this book for FREE through Christmas, along with The Author’s Workbook (the companion book to The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book) when you order a copy of The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book.
Take two simple steps:
1: Order the book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book here:
http://www.matilijapress.com/rightway.html
2: Immediately send me an email letting me know that you ordered the book and that you’d like to receive the FREE Author’s Workbook AND Over 75 Good Ideas for Promoting Your Book. PLFry620@yahoo.com
I must receive your email before I ship the book, otherwise, you get to pay the additional charges for shipping the free books separately.
So far everyone is following the rules perfectly. Thank you!
Patricia, congrats on doing so well with your book marketing book. and I’m proud that you mentioned me (and thus my own book, Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers) in your list. Interestingly, I’ve met every single person you mention, but not you. We’ll have to get together.
BTW, here’s my strategic tip for today: Keep nonfiction books current with e-books. I just released a two-chapter e-book covering social media and other goodies that I’m giving away with every direct-from-author order of either Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers or Grassroots Marketing: Getting Noticed in a Noisy World, or selling separately for $9.95. I started doing this back in 1995, when I bought Marketing Without Megabucks: How to Sell Anything on a Shoestring back from Simon & Schuster. By the time I replaced that book with the original Grassroots, the supplement had grown to something like 24,000 words!
