In my books, my brochures, my workshops, my consultations and at book festivals, I often invite authors and freelance writers to contact me with questions. When I sell a book, I say, \u201cPlease, once you\u2019ve read the book, if you have any questions, email me.\u201d During my workshops, if someone asks me a question that requires research or if it\u2019s something that entails time to explain, I say, \u201cEmail me with that question and I will respond in full.\u201d\u009d <\/p>\n
I have an open-door policy. Yet, few people take advantage of what I offer. Too many of them go it alone, neglect to do appropriate research, make choices based on whims or, worse yet, advertisements. Or they allow members of their writing group to sway them or they rely on information they\u2019ve passed along rather than checking with an expert in the field.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure that other professionals find this to be true, as well. If we hear from an author at all, it is after they\u2019ve made some poor and costly decisions. By then, they\u2019re blaming the economy, the industry and all of the people who didn\u2019t warn them about the big bad wolf in publisher\u2019s clothing. They\u2019re angry with the people who didn\u2019t tell them what to expect after publication. If only they had asked. If only they had explored their options and learned something about what to expect. <\/p>\n
Don\u2019t find out about publishing and book promotion the hard way. Read \u201cThe Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book\u201d NOW. I advise this whether you are just thinking about writing a book, you are starting the process of writing, you have finished your book and you are seeking publication or you have a newly published book in your hands. And I have to tell you that \u201cThe Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book,\u201d does not dictate how you should write, publish and sell your book, but it gives you options, information and resources. It lays them all out in front of you and guides you in making all of the right decisions for you and for your project.<\/p>\n
No two book projects are the same. And no two publishing experiences are, either.<\/p>\n
Once you have read this book or you\u2019ve taken one of my online courses (Book Promotion, Writing a Book Proposal, Breaking into the Article-Writing Market or How to Self-Publish), I invite you to contact me with any questions. If you have not taken my courses or read any of my books and you have a question about your project and\/or the process of publishing or book promotion, contact me. PLFry620@yahoo.com. If you don\u2019t take advantage of this potential benefit, you are only cheating yourself.<\/p>\n
Of course, I can\u2019t answer every question, but I can usually point you in a direction where you can find the answers you need. And not every hopeful author is ready to hear every truth. I still meet people who want to produce a book, but have no intention of doing any promotion. I had an email from a gentleman last year who insisted that his book would sell itself. There would be no need for him to be involved at all. <\/p>\n
