I have some interesting blog posts lined up for you. But today, I decided to tell you more about my latest book:<\/p>\n
Talk Up Your Book<\/strong> The thing is that personality sells books. The most powerful tool in an author\u2019s book promotion toolkit is his or her personality. More now than ever before, readers want a relationship with authors of the books they read. Customers will purchase books by someone they know or have met. With this in mind I produced this 300-page book designed to prepare you for those public speaking engagements and casual conversations that could lead to book sales. <\/p>\n As new authors, few of us are comfortable speaking in public. We don’t know how to pitch our books and ask for the sale. This book is designed to help you become a stronger presenter and a more effective communicator whether you are speaking to a large group or one-on-one, whether you are in a hall, at a book festival or on the radio.<\/p>\n Through this book, you\u2019ll learn how to:<\/p>\n \u2022\tFind and create speaking opportunities at appropriate venues. As you may know, I (Patricia Fry) am the author of nearly forty published books. Most of them relate to publishing and book promotion. I\u2019m also a public speaker, conference workshop leader, teacher and organization leader. I\u2019ve earned my Advanced Silver level in Toastmasters. And I typically travel throughout the US several times each year in order to speak to my readers\u2014mainly authors.<\/p>\n This book also includes comments and tips from experts and professionals such as, C. Hope Clark; Brian Jud; Sandra Beckwith; Peter Bowerman; literary publicist and media coach, Kim Dower and New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Brownley, are a few.<\/p>\n Order Talk Up Your Book<\/em> today at Amazon.com.
