What Sort of Publishing is Right for You?
October 15th, 2010Below is the recording of last week’s great session about the different faces of Self-Publishing.
We also mentioned some websites everyone should check out before choosing a self-publishing option. These are forums and/or blogs where folks ask questions and provide information about their various experiences with some of the different vanity presses, co-publishing companies, publishers and literary agents.
Here’s a list of some links we really like:

What if I Booked an Author Event and Nobody Came?
September 17th, 2010
We had a great time today on Free Advice Friday talking about Author Events. Some of the key points from our chat:
- Book your event at least 60 days in advance
- Take responsibility for every aspect of your event. Don’t leave anything to chance or the bookstore.
- Drop by the store 5-6 weeks before you signing and discuss signage, calendar listing, newsletter announcements and invitations with the manager.
- Don’t be shy! Send out invitations and ask for RSVPs!
- Print up postcards, bookmarks or flyers for the store to give out.
- Break up your event with numerous short readings to grab numerous new customers and make the most of your time.
- Some signings are slow with few attendees. Don’t take it personally. Keep going!
There was A LOT more, so if you want to hear the entire chat, here is this week’s recording. Enjoy!
