What's Your Biggest Challenge with Your Book?

[Bill Frank]

I'd be interested to learn what authors/publishers on this network think their biggest challenges are with their book. I wonder if there's any common, pervasive challenge we all face.

I'm glad so many people are active in this discussion forum. People are really sharing and providing user-experience. That makes it possible to gauge how the same promotion might work for you.

This discussion forum is why I started this Book Marketing Network.

I am not new to the internet, and I am a web designer, but my challenge is how to think of the audience market, and why they would be attracted to my book--which isn't published yet. So I guess my primary challenge is getting published, but I want to start the marketing process now.

Charlotte,
You are right to start early, you might have mentioned the title of your book in your comment, that would be a beginning. You will find that marketing is a full time job, much harder than writing the book in the first place. We face a new dawn in publishing and the key word is self, that word is now added to every facet of the process from writing to sale. I have not clicked on your name, but if I do, will I find some information about your book? My point is; put your book information everywhere that readers can see it. What was the old Sunday school song about putting your talents under a basket? You will find the process fun, exciting and a gathering of friends and supporters. Good luck to you and don't be shy about letting us know about your progress, because some of us here can and do read books written by others. Dr McGinnis (The Paradise Series) See what I mean? Paradise Series, get it? Let us know.
