PRESS RELEASE: New Book Solves Publishing Dilemmas


New Book Solves Publishing Dilemmas

 

If you've researched publishing a book even a little bit, you've probably found information like this:

 

*Traditional publishing is the only way to go.

*Traditional publishing is too difficult.

*POD publishing is a waste of money.

*Self-publishing is the best option.

*POD publishing is not self-publishing.

 

It doesn't take long to see that there's a lot to learn, and it's very easy to get confused as you navigate the ins and outs of the publishing world. The good news is that just like with many other aspects of life, if you have a plan things will go much more smoothly. The other good news is that making that plan doesn't have to be difficult.

 

Publishing Possibilities: 8 Steps to Understanding Your Options & Choosing the Best Path for Your Book by Cheryl Pickett will help you create that plan for success.

 

This brand-new, practical guide is filled with information as well as activities that demystify the publishing process and walk you through:

*Steps that will increase your chances of success

*How to sort out information so that you make good choices from the beginning

*How to move forward once you've chosen your publishing path

 

If 2009 is the year you want to get your book to see the light of day, having this book will get you well on your way to making that dream a reality.

 

Publishing Possibilities: 8 Steps to Understanding Your Options & Choosing the Best Path for Your Book is available at the author's website: www.publishinganswers.com , through B & N.com, Amazon and by special order at many bookstores.

 

Current Special Offer- Schedule a coaching session with Cheryl in February and get the book for FREE!  Contact her for more information or to get started.

Young Writers & Authors: Kids' Letters to President Obama

Dear Motown Writers Network Moderator,

 

I am working on a book called Kids' Letters to President Obama.

 

We are looking for letters from children ages 5 - 15, and I thought that this might be a fun activity for children.  We're very excited about Kids' Letters to President Obama, which will be published by Random House in 2009.    

 

Could you post a query about Kids' Letters to President Obama on Motown Writers Network?  We think that parents on your group might like to have their child's letter in the book.  This might help inspire children to become writers, too.

 

Children can write a letter to Barack Obama that is up to a page long.  The letter can be about anything he or she would like to say to the new President.  Letters could give the President advice, or talk about problems that the President should address, or ask Obama questions about his childhood or why he wanted to be president.  Or the letter could be about your own child life and feelings about the future.  In short, whatever kids are interested in is fine for a letter.

 

The letter should begin with "Dear President Obama" and should be emailed to obamakidsletters@gmail.com (obamakidsletters @ gmail.com) or sent by regular mail or fax to:

 

Bill Adler

Adler & Robin Books, Inc.

3000 Connecticut Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20008

Fax: 202-478-5211

http://preslets.notlong.com

 

You can find out more information on our website: http://sites.google.com/site/kidsletterstopresidentobama/letters or

http://preslets.notlong.com.

 

If you have any questions about the book, please let me know.  The deadline for letters is December 31, 2008.  If your letter is published, you will receive a free copy of Kids' Letters to President Obama.

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Bill Adler
