We\u2019ve had a lot of publicity these past few weeks. I was interviewed by Paula Krapf for Penny Sansevieri\u2019s A Marketing Expert Publishing Insiders program. Check it out at http:\/\/www.blogtalk.com\/thepublishinginsiders<\/a> <\/p>\n

Freelance Writers Report<\/em> ran my piece, \u201cDoes Anyone Really Want to Read Your Book?\u201d And my article on how to generate news on behalf of your book appeared this month in Brian Jud\u2019s Book Marketing Matters<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you subscribe to these publications as well as Book Promotion Newsletter, Publishing Basics, IBPA Independent, Advanced Christian Authors, Writing for Dollars, Writer\u2019s Journal<\/em>, etc. and some of your writers\u2019 group newsletters (Redwood Writers, Willamette Writers, Southwest Sage, OC Writers, SLO Writers, SPAWNews, Cisco (Texas) Writers, Virginia Writers and so forth), you probably see my articles pop up quite often. If you don\u2019t see my articles in the publishing\/book promotion-related publications you read, let me know about publication and I\u2019ll contact them about submitting something.<\/p>\n

You can also contact me about the type of articles\u2014the topics\u2014you would like me to cover in my blog and my articles.<\/p>\n

Are you submitting articles regularly on the topic of your nonfiction book? If not, you\u2019re missing out on an opportunity to get great exposure, to add to your credibility in your field and, potentially, to sell more books. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m teaching a class at the community college in Ventura, CA Saturday on article-writing. There\u2019s still time to sign up:

And if you have a book to promote, do yourself a favor and order a copy of my latest book, Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/em>. http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a> If you\u2019re serious about learning how to sell more books, you will not be disappointed. And this is true whether your book is nonfiction or fiction. In fact, pretty close to all of the ideas in this book are suited to fiction as well as nonfiction authors. I know that those of you who write fiction sometimes have trouble developing and maintaining a marketing mindset. That\u2019s why I took pains to give you specific instructions on how to use some of these ideas throughout the book. In fact, there are at least 120 tips and suggestions specifically for you fiction writers in this book. Yes, I went through and counted them recently when an author of fiction told me the book was for nonfiction authors.
