Never (ever) Sell Your Book Penny C. SansevieriSo you're all ready to promote your book. You've got a great press kit, a polished bio, and a letter-perfect press release. Now you're ready to sell, sell, sell, right? Wrong. One of the biggest mistakes authors make is selling their books.

Getting Real About Getting Published Penny C. SansevieriSo you say you want to get published? Well, great! These days you have more options than ever to see your work in print. Whenever I teach at conferences I am always amazed at how many authors are still unaware of their publishing options. Today, more than ever, writers have the ability to take control of their writing future and get published...today! How? Well, self-publishing for one. What? You don't want to self-publish. You're worried about the stigma attached to it? Did you know Mark Twain self-published his books? Didn't seem to hurt his career, did it? Ever heard of a little book called The Joy of Cooking? Yep, you guess it, self-published as well. Or how about the movie: Legally Blond? Yes, that's another success story. Whenever an author comes up to me and asks if there's anything wrong with self-publishing I always tell them "No, as long as it doesn't loo. . .
