I hope you enjoyed and learned from my seven day \u201cAuthorship is a Business\u201d series I ran from June 21 to June 27, 2012. You might want to print out each post in this series.<\/p>\n
To recap, we covered:<\/p>\n
1: The importance of writing the right book for the right audience. For those of you who don\u2019t think this is important\u2014who are spending your time writing something just because you want to write it\u2014you\u2019ll definitely understand the value in this advice once you attempt to promote and sell your book.<\/p>\n
2: Session two focuses on your business plan for your book\u2014the book proposal. What is the value of the book proposal? Remember, many traditional publishers want to see a book proposal. But a well-designed, complete book proposal is also extremely valuable to the author who wants to produce a viable product.<\/p>\n

5: Here, I laid out your publishing options. There are more than just the big 6 publishers and pay-to-publish companies.<\/p>\n
6: Do you need an editor? Chances are excellent that you do. Plan ahead to pay a good book editor to fine tune your book before you approach publishers or self-publish your book.<\/p>\n
7: I attempted to explain here that book promotion is not something to be pursued for a few weeks once the book is published. It should be a consideration and a study from the moment you decide to write a book for publication. <\/p>\n
I see that sales for my latest two books were up over the weekend both at Amazon.com and at my Matilija Press site. Yay! I hope this means that those of you who hadn\u2019t already purchased these books, were placing orders. The books that you\u2019ll find most valuable are:<\/p>\n
