Eris R Lebeau, author of Lost Souls and Source Code, Reviews Secrets To Publishing and Marketing

Nov. 2, 2008 - PRLog -- “Secrets to Publishing and Marketing Your Book,” by Kristin Blizzard, is an easy-to-read collection of level-headed advice for novice and aspiring writers. Using clear, concise prose, Blizzard walks the reader through all the stages of marketing, from writing a “business plan” to attending book signings and other media events. This book is an excellent starting place for anyone with vague dreams of becoming a published author.

This book discusses many resources that new authors may not have considered. For example, Blizzard offers some very practical advice about using an editing service, including a list of questions to ask before closing a deal with one. She also gives several useful links to sites that will review your book, as well as a list of competitions to enter.

Writers who feel intimidated by technology can benefit greatly from “Secrets to Marketing and Publishing Your Book.” Blizzard shares her Internet savvy in a section called “Internet: Growing Tools,” which includes several easy, free ways to get more exposure for a book. Even as someone fairly comfortable with technology, I found a few ideas in this book I would not have figured out on my own.
