Book Proposal
Help
Former book
acquisitions editor Terry Whalin says, "editors and publishers
don't read manuscripts. They read book proposals. In
Book
Proposals That Sell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success, you
learn the inside scoop to achieve your dreams." I highly
recommend it.

Kindle E-Books
Aren't
Just for Kindle Anymore
Did you know that Amazon’s Kindle
e-books are a low-cost/no-cost way to access books
even if you don’t have a dedicated Kindle reader?
You can read Kindle's e-books on smartphones,
desktop computers and any e-device in between. You
can even store the books on the Amazon cloud.

Helpful Books for Writers
The
books for retailers listed above from are helpful for
writers. Authors of books are also retailers.
Yep, they should blog. Yep, they should Tweet. Just
substitute the word "author" when you see the word
"retailer." I know you'll benefit from retailers' secrets. I
did!

"I have been a professional writer 40 years, and am also a
tenured full professor of journalism. Carolyn's Sharing with
Writers newsletter is most useful for me--and for my
students. I emphasize to them that while research is 90% of
writing, and the actual writing is about 10%, there's another
100% out there called promotion. Carolyn shows numerous ways to
get the message to the mass media."
