The Author’s Guide to Publishing and Marketing

Tim Ward and John Hunt

It’s not often that a creative writing book starts with … “If you haven’t already started writing, and are expecting you book to sell, think twice about the effort you’ll need to put into marketing, and whether you have the time for it.” This is typical of the no-nonsense advice of an author/publisher double act that get right down to the realities of getting your work in print and sold. The purpose of the guide is to help new writers make the most of their resources to ‘design, negotiate and carry out a realistic and cost-effective book promotion campaign. And for those who having got a publishing contract, it explains how to include a ‘marketing dimension’ in your book proposal to make it as appealing as possible for prospective publishers, so that they can see the potential of your books. For those who find their sales aren’t going too well with an existing publisher, and those about to embark on a ‘find a publisher’ campaign — this is the ideal book for you.

I recommend it to all the writers and publishers of small presses.

Straightforward tips for a new era. ~ Twitter review, http://tinyurl.com

It was a total honor and a pleasure to review this 219 page stupendous reference book. I have been a frustrated writer for years and this amazing read quickly became my best friend. I learned so much about where to go, what to do and especially what not to do and it was presented in a down to earth practical manner from two people who have trodden this path before. The format was easy to follow with each topic blending into the next and the book is chock a block full of suggestions and ideas that kept giving me hope will pushing me in the right direction. I fell in love with the Publicity Campaign Timeline, it just made so much sense and the task didn't feel quite so daunting anymore. I would recommend this well rounded labor of love to anyone who has ever had a thought of getting their message out to the rest of the world. You can be sure that this inspired buddy has made it's way into my spiritual toolbox. ~ Riki Frahmann, Mystic Living Today

This instructive volume with lots of practical advice laid out in 'bullet point' form, makes for informative, if salutory, reading - especially from the point of view of inspiring writers. ~ Roger Shorter, Light

    This is a book very much about writing for the joy of it and for spiritual growth. As such I think it has great merit. This is absolutely not a book that will teach you how to be a writer, and there is a difference between doing it for pleasure, and doing it for money. .....How useful this book is depends largely on what you were looking for, and how far along the path you are. For the right person, it could be tremendously helpful.
