by Dee Power and Brian Hill From the authors who brought novice writers The Making of a Bestseller: Success Stories From Authors and the Editors, Agents and Booksellers Behind Them, Brian Hill and Dee Power now have a new ebook that is sure to help anyone who is ready to get a book published. The Publishing Primer: A Blueprint for An Author’s Success uses a similar format, tips from movers and shakers in the publishing industry. Hill and Power present all of this wealth of advice in a very readable format. Beginning with a quick overview of what’s happening in publishing today, they plunge right into the pros and cons of a literary agent, what to do when the publisher wants your book, how to self-publish your book, and how to get your books into stores. Each section goes to the horse’s mouth to get the advice you need as a writer. The sections on self-publishing and marketing (getting your books in stores) are worth their weight in gold. The book is full of examples of sell sheets (everything you need to say about your book), how to’s like doing a book signing or putting together a book proposal, and lots of contact information. There are lists of where to send your books for review, lists of bookseller organizations, and links to finding book fairs and shows. In addition, the book has two bonuses. One is a Q&A with marketing experts. The other is an extensive list of book review contacts and all of the websites and organizations mentioned in the book. Hill and Power have put together one of the most comprehensive guides to book publishing I’ve seen in a while. It is offered currently on their website in a pdf ebook that allows click through to websites and easy searching. This is a must for any writer. |
