I\u2019d like to address these five issues over the next week in this blog. Who needs to read these posts? You should visit this blog every day during the week of February 11-15 if:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou don\u2019t have a clue as to where to look for a publisher.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou are considering the first \u201cself-publishing\u201d company that has expressed an interest in your project.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou plan to check out \u201cself-publishing\u201d companies because people tell you that traditional publishers don\u2019t issue contracts to first-time authors. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tYour friend with a children\u2019s mystery book recommends her publisher for your memoir and you expect to land a contract.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou have bundled up your complete manuscript and plan to send it off to a list of publishers you\u2019re considering\u2014or worse, you have decided to call publishers and talk to them about your book.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou expect to find a publisher who will handle all marketing for your book.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tYou have no interest in promoting your book once it\u2019s published.<\/p>\n
If any of these points resemble your situation or mindset, please read the posts to this blog all next week. Not only will you get an education. You\u2019ll learn why it is vital that you consider yourself the CEO of your book.<\/p>\n
