A professional person, or company, is necessary for anyone wanting to write, promote, or sell a book. These professionals are everywhere, but good ones are hard to find.
Their services include:
• Cover design
• Web marketing
• Sales Aids
• Advertising: Press releases to web page buttons.
• Editing
• Coaching
• Promoting
• Public Relations
• Book Sales
• Agents
• Publishers
• Web hosts
• E-marketing: newsletter, e-mail lists, web and mailing list hosts.
Professionals should have the writer’s interest in mind. They should see themselves as a member of the writer’s team. Their first task should be building a rapport with the writer, not impressing them with facts and figures. However, this is only the case among a small number of professionals.
Ask the prospect these questions:
Do you follow the AP or Chicago style of grammar?
If your book is fiction, or casual non-fiction, then you want an editor or coach who uses the Chicago style. Non-fiction or business writing favors the AP style.
