How To Go From Author To Book Publishing Coach
By Blondie L. Clayton
If you want to profit as an author
learn the basics well enough to teach others.
Type in the keyword “publishing” and how
many titles will show up? I did and up came 87,904 titles related to
publishing on Barnes and Noble. I scanned through 60 before I ended my
search. How do you know which one will get you closer to your
publishing goal? I didn’t know so many books had been written on
the subject.
How many books do you have on your book shelf about
writing, publishing and selling books? I have a few. So many books,
written by so many experts, those who have the knowledge, know how and
experience, looking to sell you on why you should buy their book to
teach you what they know.
If you want to learn publishing, where do you start?
The same place you started out in life. School. So if you are looking
to publish, then it stands to reason, there is no school where you can
be taught, except the school of hard knocks, trial and error. The next
best thing then would be to buy a book on the subject. Is there some
magic we are hoping will happen by just buying the book?
There is no success in buying a book. You have to
read, digest and apply the information. What good is information if you
are not going to use it? That is where most people come to a screeching
halt. Believe it or not there are adults who don’t like to read,
especially instructional information.
So how do you know which publishing book to buy? Is
Dan Poynter’s book: Self-Publishing Manual: How to Write, Print
and Sell Your Own Book the answer? Books on publishing are like text
books, filled with instructional information, to be read and applied.
Too often first time authors buy a book on publishing without a clue as
to what they need to get started and complete their book project.
It’s all about Putting Your Passion into Print (Get Your Book
Published Successfully), with little or no thought to the details.
You’re already there, finished.
Well, what should you look for when you embark upon
something new? On entering pre-k did they give you a book to read, or
start off teaching you the basics of all language (letters), sound and
numbers. Now you know where to start.
I tried to locate a publishing manual that would be
a guide to a newbie. I typed in key words “publishing
manual” and sixty books later I found none.
It is safe to say even in being successful as a
published author, it starts with the basics: What is a publisher? What
is the difference between the types available? How do you approach
them? How do you get to them? You may find the step-by-step approach
outlined in You Write You Publish a plus (www.clcwlifechangers.com).
Is there one book that will tell you everything you
need to know so you don’t have to read another book? No, you will
always need to read another book, if you want to do it yourself. Do it
yourself doesn’t mean you have to know everything to do it
yourself.
Savvy writers are hiring the services of a Book
Publishing Coach, people who have read the information they
didn’t want to read and applying it on behalf of others. These
folks hire the assistance of a Book Publishing Coach, a person who
makes a living teaching how to publish, or publishing for other people.
A Book Publishing Coach is an asset to an aspiring
author. These are folks who have mastered the basics and know enough to
get you into the marketplace.
Doctors don’t make the medicine; they prescribe
what has already been researched by specialist. A Book Publishing Coach
can save you time, money and lessen your mistakes. There is no need to
read another book on publishing if you hire the services of a Book
Publishing Coach. A good Book Publishing Coach knows how to take your
book from the idea to the marketplace. The right Book Publishing Coach
knows how to position you with a web site, domain names, the tax
advantages of a business, media positioning, 30-second promo, lessens
your expenses, provides speaker training. Why? Because they can do for
you what they have done for themselves. Your choice in a Book
Publishing Coach should be someone who has had experience on both sides
of publishing: self-publish and traditional publishing (Write, Publish
and Sell Books tool kit at www.clcwlifechangers.com). You can cut to the chase with A Book Publishing Coach.
If you have made up your mind to succeed as an author, then the
services of a Book Publishing Coach would be the best choice. The
advantage to using a Book Publishing Coach is their experience provides
the confidence you need to succeed, knowing you are being led instead
of stumbling along in the dark, hoping to have a clear path.
