What if The Biggest Success Story From the Bootcamp Was Yours? at http://booksandbuzz.com/publishing-bootcamp/

February 13, 2012 at 6pm to March 5, 2012 at 7pm
What would it mean to have a list of media contacts waiting to hear from you? Or an agent eagerly waiting on your proposal?  How would you feel if your book idea became the hottest trend and just took off?   Do you know what it feels like to achieve success effortlessly without the push and the "try"?  We all do pretty good "trying" on our own and it doesn't get us very far--just more questions, confusion and frustration. The Sell It Before You Write It Bootcamp changes all that for you.  It…See More

5 Things I Had Before I Got Published

 Doesn’t it seem like these days everyone has a book?  If they don’t have one, they are working on it.  Unfortunately, only about 1-2%  will ever see that book in print or have it pay their bills.  Too many people are just writing, and not strategizing.   There’s this ugly little secret that mixing business and art is a bad…See More

If only, right?

You can at least free yourself from having to beg for formal representation though. It won’t be…

How To Let The Media Sell Your Book

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

So you’ve got an idea for a book, and with it a pretty good plan for how to see it through to the last word. That puts you several strong steps in front of your fellow writer hopefuls but still leaves you with a long road ahead. Hooray?
