Unfortunately, this is true: Being a writer is not all about writing. If you want to make money through your writing, there is also bookwork, tax returns, researching publishing opportunities and deadlines to meet. If you\u2019re also selling books, you have book orders to prepare and ship (and more bookwork), a website to maintain, State Board of Equalization (state tax board) paperwork to do, customer relations opportunities and responsibilities, work with book and cover designers, proofing changes to the book in progress and then there is that little thing called PROMOTION. And this morning, I\u2019ve been involved in all of the above. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve decided to take a break this afternoon and do some networking with other writers and authors. A client is doing a book signing at a meeting of authors, artists and other creatives an hour\u2019s drive away and invited me. I\u2019ve packed a few books, several brochures and many business cards. Hopefully, I\u2019ll make some new friends, pick up a few tips and, maybe even meet authors who can use some of my services.<\/p>\n
What are you doing this week on behalf of your writing\/publishing career?<\/p>\n
Book sales are still brisk. I think it has something to do with my article on publishing appearing in The Toastmaster Magazine <\/em>this month. Toastmasters is International and several of my recent book orders are from outside this country. Do you still question the value of writing articles for magazines and newsletters that are read by your target audience? Have you tried it? I highly recommend it as a great way to promote your book.<\/p>\n If you need information, resources, tips and ideas for writing, publishing (including finding and working with a traditional publisher) and promoting your book, order The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book <\/em><\/strong>today. Are you new to the world of publishing? Then you need my book in order to gain a better understanding of the publishing industry. The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book<\/em><\/strong>.
