I spent a good part of the day yesterday spreading the word about my new ebook, The Author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Repair Kit<\/em>; a book designed to help you heal your publishing mistakes and breathe new life into your faltering or failing book. This book features a system similar to preparing a book proposal only in reverse. If you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t write a book proposal before you produced your book, perhaps you are regretting that decision. But it might not be too late. Buy this ebook (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only $5.95) and learn how to repair your promotions program or your book itself. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/author_repairkit.html<\/a> <\/p>\n

This ebook had its first review. Joe Wikert at Joe Wikert\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Publishing 2020 Blog highly recommends this little ebook. He said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The tips on this (his own) blog are generally aimed at authors who are writing new book proposals or at the early stage of their manuscript development. But how about all those books that are already published and not selling very well? Where can an author find tips on how to fix the book after it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already out?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He continues, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I used to think there was no good answer to either of those questions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6until I discovered a 27-page ebook called The Author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Repair Kit <\/em>by Patricia Fry.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He goes on to say that The Author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Repair Kit <\/em>is loaded with the type of tough questions you need to ask yourself to help make the best book possible.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Read the entire review and leave comments at http:\/\/jwikert.typepad.com\/the_average_joe\/2008\/04\/the-authors-rep.html<\/a> <\/p>\n

The month is getting away from me. SPAWN will have two booths at the big Los Angeles Times Festival of Books April 26-27. So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been busy preparing our participating members and myself for the event. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in the area or UCLA, be sure to come by and see us.
