How to Create A Bestseller
Being a best-selling author is a 24/7/365 business that requires a plan, persistence and publicity. Whether you have a book in print or are thinking of writing one, if you want to make ‘cash registers ring’ in bookstores, gift shops, on the web, in catalogues or at the end of your presentations/programs, this seminar is for you.
The publishing industry is in turmoil and has changed its parameters, scope and impact. But creating a best seller begins with a subject that either inspires, informs, educates or entertains. The mix on the bestseller lists has not changed in the last 60 years accordingly to Michael Korda, author of "Making The List." It all begins with an idea, a concept, a market and the author with a platform who can tell a story and reach that market.
An author’s life is easier when we realize that publishers are high-end printers with great distribution… which most of us cannot match.
You will learn:
- The five questions that any book proposal must cover
- Why and HOW to draft a separate marketing plan for your book
- What Trade Publishers Want, Need and Expect from an Author
- How To Embrace the "Jacqueline Susann School of PR" and Book Self/Shelf Promotion.
- The importance of PLATFORM, position and polish.
- and much, much more!
