Genre: Business & Economics

An Author’s Guide to Children’s Book Promotion has been the leading source of information on children’s book marketing and promotion for authors, illustrators and publishers for nearly twenty years. This easy-to-use handbook provides an inside look at this complex market plus advice and guidance on getting children’s books into the hands of key decision-makers and buyers in the media, at schools, libraries, review journals, wholesalers, and bookstores...and ultimately into the hands of parents and children. Here’s what experts have said: “Susan Raab’s An Author’s Guide to Children’s Book Promotion is a short but packed collection of tips and ideas for authors who want to take a more active role in marketing their own books, especially children’s books...Raab’s Guide is a handy and accessible reference full of useful pointers.” -Small Press Magazine “Raab’s sparse, no nonsense approach reminds me of another guidebook, Strunk and White’s Elements of Style. The lean to-the-point style makes this guide a quick reference source a writer turns to with each book published.” -Chicago Children’s Reading Roundtable Bulleti “There is nothing fancy about this book. It is a down and dirty guide to book promotion by a woman who does it for a living. What a fantastic resource. There’s no flowery filler, just good information. Gotta love it.” -Elizabeth O. Dulemba “Especially useful to beginners with trade publishers and the self-published, the key message though is universal: No one will care as much about your book as you, so you need to take responsibility to help promote it.” -Cynsations This great compact guidebook provides children’s authors with practical information on how to promote to the three major markets for children’s books: bookstores, schools and libraries. Raab also discusses how to promote to some little-known specialty markets, such as book fairs and special interest groups. It’s an outstanding primer for beginning authors and offers great ideas for the established author as well. “I particularly like the way that Ms. Raab starts her guide with these words: “Book promotion is the author’s job.” Truer words were never written.” -Bella Online Writing for Children “I read (and took copious notes). An Author’s Guide to Children’s Book Promotion has so much helpful information. I think I highlighted the entire book! The advice and recommendations are really so helpful. The book answers so many questions, especially for a beginner like me.” -Wendy Kupfer “A small, but extremely helpful book detailing many effective ways for authors to market, promote, and publicize children’s books. There are sample formats for promotional materials, as well as lists of organizations, contacts, and source materials to assist in promotional efforts.” –Verla Kay “ A concise guide from a children’s marketing consultant, covering all the different aspects of book marketing and publicity, and including a useful list of contacts.” -Harold Underdown, The Purple Crayon “An Author’s Guide to Children’s Book Promotion is now my faithful companion! I am telling all my writer friends to read it.” -Lizette M. Lantigua Topics include: How to self promote without driving a publisher crazy Why it can make sense to set up as a distributor How to build traffic at bookstore events What’s the honorarium range for new authors New information on blogs and websites Plus a Source Directory of specialized contacts: Associations and organizations; Information sources; Trade and educational publications; Children’s book clubs wholesalers and book chains.

Publisher:
ISBN: 1775532909
Release Date: 2013-08-16
Genre: Freight and freightage

The lively, insider story of the rise and rise of New Zealand's most successful logistics company. This is the story of a company built on the belief that with passion anything is possible. As they say at Mainfreight, 'Go anywhere as long as it is forward'. Mainfreight was founded in 1977 by the visionary Bruce Plested, who set out to make the company a family, a team, where everyone has a share in the riches and where the word 'management' is banned. The Mainfreight instruction manual is short: Feel the fear but do it anyway. This is a world where budgets are deemed 'bullshit'. Why spend time preparing figures that are invariably out of date before the ink is dry? Just make more than last year. It's also a world based on generosity: Mainfreight is the backing force behind Books in Homes, and offers tertiary scholarships to the children of all its employees. Did the rise to NZX sharemarket darling all go smoothly? Not for a minute. Initially there would be catastrophic ventures in Australia and America and finally a jaw-dropping moment in Europe when Don Braid and his team made their biggest purchase ever only to see most of the turnover and half the profit walk out the door. This book takes you on a warts-and-all exploration of Mainfreight's journey from small transport company at the bottom of the world to truly successful global logistics company.

Lone Survivor

Author: Marcus Luttrell
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316007544
Release Date: 2007-06-12
Genre: History

On a clear night in late June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs left their base in northern Afghanistan for the mountainous Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader known to be ensconced in a Taliban stronghold surrounded by a small but heavily armed force. Less then twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive. This is the story of fire team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing, and the desperate battle in the mountains that led, ultimately, to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. But it is also, more than anything, the story of his teammates, who fought ferociously beside him until he was the last one left-blasted unconscious by a rocket grenade, blown over a cliff, but still armed and still breathing. Over the next four days, badly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell fought off six al Qaeda assassins who were sent to finish him, then crawled for seven miles through the mountains before he was taken in by a Pashtun tribe, who risked everything to protect him from the encircling Taliban killers. A six-foot-five-inch Texan, Leading Petty Officer Luttrell takes us, blow-by-blow, through the brutal training of America's warrior elite and the relentless rites of passage required by the Navy SEALs. He transports us to a monstrous battle fought in the desolate peaks of Afghanistan, where the beleaguered American team plummeted headlong a thousand feet down a mountain as they fought back through flying shale and rocks. In this rich , moving chronicle of courage, honor, and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare-and a tribute to his teammates, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

One-hundred full-color photographs of Buck in action enhance the step-by-step methodology that leads to mastering this essential Western skill. Whether you ride or rope or just wish you could, here's a book for everyone who is captivated by Western traditions and contemporary life.

The Efficiency Paradox

Author: Edward Tenner
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 9780525520306
Release Date: 2018-04-17
Genre: Business & Economics

A bold challenge to our obsession with efficiency--and a new understanding of how to benefit from the powerful potential of serendipity Algorithms, multitasking, the sharing economy, life hacks: our culture can't get enough of efficiency. One of the great promises of the Internet and big data revolutions is the idea that we can improve the processes and routines of our work and personal lives to get more done in less time than we ever have before. There is no doubt that we're performing at higher levels and moving at unprecedented speed, but what if we're headed in the wrong direction? Melding the long-term history of technology with the latest headlines and findings of computer science and social science, The Efficiency Paradox questions our ingrained assumptions about efficiency, persuasively showing how relying on the algorithms of digital platforms can in fact lead to wasted efforts, missed opportunities, and above all an inability to break out of established patterns. Edward Tenner offers a smarter way of thinking about efficiency, revealing what we and our institutions, when equipped with an astute combination of artificial intelligence and trained intuition, can learn from the random and unexpected.
