Questions answered on this call:
"When you're building a platform, how do you step it up and get noticed by a publisher? An acquisitions editor said earlier this year I don't have a big enough platform. When can you go back and say look at what I am working on? What kind of information do they want?"
The Tip of the Call built on the answers to those three questions, and talked about how to survey to find out what your market wants.

"I have sent submittals to 6 publishers, got turned down by 4 and accepted by 1- Tate Publishing. But they want $3,400 up front to do 'everything.' Is it normal for publishers to want money up front? I need understanding on the best route to take with publishers by knowing what is the norm and what is more of a scam."--Cindy
The Tip covered 5 questions to ask yourself to determine whether self-publishing or mainstream publishing is the best path for you.

"How to Be a Successful Author in the New Era of Publishing"

Get the Action/Resource Guide for the November 25, 2008 call. (print out and take notes as you listen) |
Quotes of the Call:
"If publishers had sat down 10 years ago and tried to figure out something that could connect them to their customers, share their information, allow them to develop deep, targeted, meaningful, individual relationships, and sell product with less friction all at the same time, they couldn't have invented anything better than the Internet, which as a reading medium has given rise to an epistolary culture that we never could have imagined. …
"The Internet was designed for us [publishers and authors]. WE couldn't have made something any better, and I think precious few publishers have taken aggressive advantage of all the ways in which a good Internet strategy can spread the world about their products, bring them closer to their customers, and help them drive sales. Retailers tell us all the time, people find out what they want to read online. . Every publisher [I would add, author] should be thinking of their digital strategy as really beginning with the Internet, and branching out from there." --Michael Cader, editor of Publisher's Marketplace and Publisher's Lunch
"You don't make money writing books, you make money explaining books."--Alex Mandossian, teleseminar expert

Quote of the Call:
"If you do not ask the right questions, you do not get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the A-B-C of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems."--Edward Hodnett (American poet 1841-1920)

Action Steps:
1. Sign up for the invaluable free service, Help a Reporter Out. Peter Shankman delivers, three times a day, leads on stories reporters are looking for. Incredible resource for building your author's platform.
2. Get Noah's book, which I highly recommend because if you actually do his 7 Action steps and apply it to being an author, I believe you will become a successful author.
3. Once you get his book on amazon, go here to put in your amazon confirmation code, which is your ticket to get into the bookinar.
4. Attend the bookinar to experience what it's like. Think about how you can adapt this to your book idea, and how you can incorporate it into your marketing plan.
5. Contact Diane at if you want to explore how you can map out your own author success plan to "be well heard and well paid for what you know and love to do."
