Book Proposal Workshop<\/strong>
\nI’m presenting an 8-week book proposal workshop, in-person, for members of the Yes I Can Club starting tomorrow night. This is a group of talented authors each with a great story to tell. I’ve been given the privilege of walking them through the book proposal process and I’ve decided to do this with the assistance of my workbook&#8212The Author\u2019s Workbook. <\/p>\n

Despite the fact that I’m accustomed to presenting this workshop online and I often speak to groups about writing a book proposal, I feel as though I’m reinventing the wheel. Preparation for this face-to-face workshop is taking more time and energy than I expected. But I’m also enjoying the process and looking forward to helping these authors create successful book proposals for their projects. <\/p>\n

Speaking of my Book Proposal Workshop: I’ve made some changes to my website. I’ve increased my Book Proposal course to 8 sessions and raised the price to $200. http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/course_bookproposal.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n

My Article in Absolute Write<\/strong>
\nBe sure to read my article published in the June 9, 2008 edition of Absolute Write Newsletter. It’s called, “How to Write a Book That Will Actually Sell.” http:\/\/www.absolutewrite.com\/novels\/actually_sell.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Travel Update<\/strong>
\nI’ll be traveling for most of the next 7 days without a computer. I will have limited access to a computer in Idaho, where they can only get a dial-up connection, and I might have the opportunity to slip in a blog entry or two. My main concern, however, will be keeping up with my email. This is not a business trip, but a pleasure trip with my mom. We’re going to Idaho to visit family.<\/p>\n

Book Orders<\/strong>
\nIf you finally decide to buy my book, The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em>, while I’m gone, know that your shipment might be delayed. Any print book orders placed between noon (Pacific Time) June 11, 2008 and noon June 18, 2008 will be shipped the afternoon of June 18, 2008. Is it worth the wait? Absolutely!!!<\/p>\n

On-demand Online Course Sign-ups<\/strong>
\nIf you sign up for one of my online courses this week, your first session will not begin until at least Wednesday, June 18, 2008. What courses do I offer? “How to Write a Successful Book Proposal,” “Book Promotion Workshop” (NEW), “Self-Publishing Workshop” and “Article-Writing Workshop.” Learn more at http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/courses.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Editorial Clients<\/strong>
\nIf you want to discuss a consultation with me or you want me to edit your manuscript or work with you toward creating a successful book proposal, email me at PLFry620@yahoo.com. I should be able to respond within two or three days while traveling. Once I’m home, you will generally receive my response within hours (sometimes even minutes) of sending me your email.

In the meantime, keep writing and, if you have even a remote interest in publishing your stories, articles or books, keep studying the publishing industry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
