Launching a Book Marketing Offensive in the New World of Book Publishing 2.0

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 02, 2009 – Austin, TX -- Half the books Marji Ross, President of Regnery Publishing, publishes become New York Times bestsellers - which is absolutely phenomenal. It's like hitting a home run every other time you step up to the plate.

When it comes to launching a new title, Ross employs a two-phased plan of attack known as Blitzkrieg PR, revealed in a very informative synopsis of her Blitzkrieg strategy written by author and direct marketing guru Denny Hatch.

On the other hand, Michael Drew - CEO of Promote A Book ( http://www.promoteabook.com/about ) - has a record with bestseller campaigns that is impossible to beat - 56 out of 56 of his bestseller campaigns have resulted in books being on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, or Publishers Weekly, with many making it onto all those bestseller lists.

How does he do it? Many have tried to copy his methods and his results, but not even Marji Ross comes close.

Drew is now willing to share some of his secrets in a 3-day seminar he has put together with four other marketing and Internet experts: Dave Young, Rich Christiansen, Chris Maddock, and Mark Effinger. They have presented their seminar, Book Publishing 2.0: Writing / Publishing / Marketing Your Book, in Texas, Utah, California, and New York to standing-room-only crowds.

The experts of Book Publishing 2.0 provide technology insights, instruction, and training on quite a few of Drew's well-guarded secrets, including:
* Jump-starting your writing process

* Moving beyond the 7 Myths of the Book Industry that blind authors and keep great books from becoming bestsellers
