SUBJECT: Is There a Book Inside You? Dear Reader, Do you want to write a book? Many people do. But only a few actually achieve the dream ... and get to hold a book with their name on the cover in their hands. I should know ... I started writing books in 1982, and last month my 60th book was published. I've written books on topics ranging from direct marketing and copywriting, to ethics and leadership, to career advice and publishing. This has prompted many students to ask me, "How can I become a published author?" Now, writing a book and getting it published is the subject of our next AWAI teleconference. To sign up for "How to Write a Book and Get it Published," to be held on February 23rd from 3:00PM - 4:00PM EST, just call Barb or Scott at 866-879-2924 - or click here now: http://www.selling-yourself.com/tele/bb49 =========================================== What kind of book do you want to write? =========================================== Do you want to write fiction? Nonfiction? Self-help? How-to? The possibilities in book writing are endless. It's a chance to really explore topics that interest you from your own point of view ... not (as is often the case with copywriting) from the client's. Plus, you can make some nice money ... and gain a small measure of fame. Also, being an author is a great credential for a freelance writer to have ... even a copywriter. Potential clients are impressed when you tell them you are a published author. In this teleconference, we'll tell you what you need to know to write a book and get it published. Including: * 10 ways to get ideas for books you can write. * Do you have to be an expert in a subject to write and publish a book on the topic? * 5 questions every publisher will ask before they agree to buy your book ... and one good answer to each. * Secrets to writing winning book proposals. * How to find and get a literary agent ... and a publisher. * Advances, royalties, book contracts, and other financial matters. * The "file folder" method for researching and writing your nonfiction book ... cuts your work time in half. * Proven ways to publicize and promote your book. * How to get a $50,000 advance ... and turn your book into a best-seller. How am I qualified to guide you? Since 1982, I have written and published 60 books - almost 3 books a year - with major publishers including McGraw-Hill, John Wiley & Sons, Prentice Hall, and HarperCollins. Topics include freelancing ... consulting ... starting and running a small business ... mail order ... popular culture ... careers ... humor ... marketing ... copywriting ... computers. My titles range from "The ‘I Hate Kathie Lee Gifford' Book" ... which got me featured o the CBS TV show "Hard Copy" and in the pages of the National Inquirer ... to trivia books on Star Trek, comic books, and Stephen King. My two special guests on this call will be Marcia King- Gamble and Kieran Doherty. In addition to being a key member of the AWAI staff, Marcia is a best-selling author of romance novels with 13 published books to her credit. Kieran, one of the contributors to the Six-Figure Copywriting Course and a successful freelance copywriter in his own right, recently began a second career writing history books for young adults ... and I think he's already had 11 or 12 books published. (I've read several, and if you enjoy reading history as I do, they're terrific.) Marcia will share with us her secrets of writing and novel and getting it published ... while Kieran will reveal how to break into the lucrative children's book market (can any one say Harry Potter?). ================================================== Answers to your specific questions and problems! ================================================== Here's your chance to ask any questions you have about writing and publishing your book...and finally get them answered! When you register, you'll receive a confirmation notice with a special email address where you can submit questions - which my guests and I will answer (as time permits) during the conference. If we don't have time to get to your question during the conference, you'll get the answer in a private, attendees-only memo I send you after the event. So either way, all your questions will be answered. ======================================================== Special Bonus: Complimentary CD Recording (a $79 Value) ======================================================== As a bonus, you will also receive a professional CD Recording of the call. This means that in addition to being a participant in the live call, you can listen to the material later at your leisure, while driving in the car, exercising, or doing household chores. Our AWAI students tell us that listening to the CDs several times helps increase their mastery of the material - and motivates them to take actions they didn't the first time around. ================================= One other thing.... ================================= Writing books has brought me some nice rewards, including appearances on TV and radio shows ... articles written about me in national magazines and newspapers ... invitations to give speeches and seminars ... even offers to do product endorsements! But all of those are secondary to the moment when you get your first box of author's copies of your first book, open the box, and hold in your hands a beautiful book **with your name on the cover.** If your dream is to become a published book author, we can help you make that dream come true - sooner than you might think. So, to register for "How to Write a Book and Get It Published," to be held on February 23rd from 3:00PM - 4:00PM EST, just call Barb or Scott at 866-879-2924 - or click here now: http://www.selling-yourself.com/tele/bb49 As always, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed or your money back.
