Agenda

9 am – 10:15 am – Writing a Best Selling Nonfiction Book

A book is rarely something that comes to the writer all at once or without effort. The aspiring author must cultivate the skills to draw the book out of his or her experience and judgment as well as hunches and ideas. When the idea is beginning to gel, then the writer needs to test that idea against all the what ifs: what if this isn’t a whole book, what if I’m not a good enough writer, what if there isn’t an audience, what if I’m missing something big? We’ll talk about the process for finding your best ideas and turning them into a marketable book in this session.

10:15 am – 11:30 am – Publishing 101 – Your Best Options to Become a Published Author

Now that the book is written, the author must shift his or her focus to how to package the book so it will appeal to the target audience. It is not easy for someone who has not done this before to make the right decisions. The author may decide to also become a publisher, but it is critical for the author to understand the publishing process and how he or she can impact it, whether or not the author chooses to do it or work with an established publisher. When the author finishes writing and is ready to start the publishing process, the first task facing him or her is to learn all the steps involved, decide who to turn to for expert help, and determine how much time and money publishing should reasonably take. This session will give you the decision-making tools you need.

11:30 pm – 1 pm – LUNCH

(on your own)

1 pm – 2:15 pm – Your Book and Your Business

When the author is in the writing part of the process, the costs are minimal. Starting with the publishing part of the process, the author starts spending significant money and it is hard to determine for an author who has never been through this if what he or she is getting is worth the money spent, and if the book will eventually sell enough to make it all worthwhile. In this session we talk about your publishing team, expected costs, return on investment and knowing whether writing and publishing a book will be good investment for you.

2:15 pm – 3:30 pm – Book Marketing – Techniques and Tools for Maximizing Success on a Budget

Now that the book is written and published, the author must shift his or her focus to how and where to make the book available so it can be found and purchased by the target audience. With the millions of books marketed to readers each year, how can the author make sure that the people who want to buy this book know it exists and know where to buy it? In this session we discuss the author’s web site, media kit and online marketing strategies and PR that make book marketing affordable.
