Good luck! ( My stepson is an aspiring screen writer. Not having much luck but he is tenacious ). |
Shrandell,
Congratulations on your book and your new home in Buttonwood! :coolsmiley: All best wishes! |
You might contact the many established writers' clubs within TV who have a number of published authors, and would certainly be of some help. I imagine that you could find contacts listed in the Daily Sun Recreation supplement; think it's in the Thursdays' issue, not sure.
Maybe someone here on TOTV could pitch in on some contacts. Hope this helps. ....barb |

Try this web site
I have several friends who are self published authors. They have very successfully used www.lulu.com. One of my friends even sells her books on Amazon. This website helped her with obtaining an ISBN number and marketing her book.
I hope you have great success with your book! |

You will be given an online account that you can manage your sales through and upload any relevent information it's called Vendor Central and has step by step information. The sales of your book will depend on the quality of the site listing uploading an image of the cover and the quality of the cover art is very important. Also the description should be one that targets the prospective audiance. Use key words that will pull when the shopper does a search. IE childrens book, amimal stories, ages 4-6 are common types of comments in childrens listings. Amazon has a publish on demand option so you can give your book a try without finding or printing a bunch of copies. There are links on the bottom of the Amazon site under contact us. Hope this helps, |
