Agents of Literary Change

I wanted to share a few things about this book I'm reading. It's called The Self-Publishing Manual. It will help you get published. If you read this book, it will help you out a lot. I'm give you guys some things I learn and I'm still reading it.

Publishers Weekly, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times- These are the best resource to find books that authors publish.

The best resources are your own experiences and research- This is about what you have done or been through.

Write what you know- You can write anything that you want.

Poetry and fiction are very difficult to sell and, even when sold, have a short sales life, we will concern ourselves with nonfiction- A lot of self-publishing books that are difficult to sell are nonfiction and poetry.

Writing nonfiction doesn't require any great literary style- It doesn't but it is a good literary style.

Some of the things i got in the book that help me.

Researching further and putting it on paper will make you become an expert- You can get a lot out of doing your homework becoming published.

Becoming an expert start with interviews, articles, TV appearances, talks at local clubs, etc- You can be successful.

Publicity not only sell books, opens more doors and produces more opportunities to prove your expert status and make even more money for yourself- This is excellent.

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.
