January is the month for planning and reflection. What worked last year, what didn’t? What do you, the author, what to accomplish this year? What will work … and what do you think won’t (meaning you avoid like the plague)? Is your book just birthing … and is it a little tired?
Is author and book success in your plan?
If you do, there are 4 things you want to do:
1. Pay attention to our radio show. This week on the 10th, Your Guide to Book Publishing is all about BRANDING. Michelle Marchildon, author of Finding Life on the Mat, will reveal how she went from NOBODY in one year to a REAL SOMEBODY. Selling out the first printing of several thousand copies of her book, she’s back to layout on book #2, Theme Weavers. She has succeeded in bringing so many to her website, that she has crashed it several times with the sheer volume—such a problem to have!
You want to listen in at 6 pm Eastern time on Thursday athttp://rsrn.us/youpublish. You can also go to the Home page ofhttp://www.AuthorU.org, scroll down and click on any of the past five shows.
