Being a publisher...

I have wanted to be a book publisher for more than 30 years. Instead, I found a career in journalism and worked my way from beat reporter to managing editor of a suburban daily. Now, sort of retired, I am realizing my ambition of book publishing. Designing and creating a book is the easy part - the hard work is in promotion and marketing.

I would love to hear from all of you, your advice on how to build an effective marketing base to feature and sell general fiction. Tell me what h…

Hi Mark,

Fiction always seems to be a hard sell than non-fiction. Everyone's looking for an expert. May I suggest you consider bookpromotionnetwork.com? It's a new website dedicated to helping authors increased their exposure and book sales through cross promotion efforts with other authors. It also provides a link to your preferred online vendor -- probably yourself -- for anyone wishing to buy your book directly. Check it out: http:www//bookpromotionnetwork.com

Thanks,
Lynn

Hi Mark,

I went on your site and enjoyed reading your synopsis. Your book cover is also nice. Once you are featured on Author-Promotion website, your bio, and book information is announce to all our subscribers, as well as on other online groups. Some of our ads also feature our authors' book covers. In other words, your book cover will be in a few of our ads. Book covers sell books, so it helps if an author has an appealing cover. Also, don't forget for unknown authors a service oriented site receives more traffic than a author's personal website.

If you are interested in advertising your books on the site, you can pay through paypal or by snail mail. If you choose to do the later, be sure to request my address.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
