BOOK SIGNING: FUN AND PROFIT FOR WRITERS AND READERS by Jo Condrill Category: General - http://www.wordpreneur.com/general Have you ever walked into a bookstore when an author is scheduled to do a book signing and found no one in the audience? Do you shy away from autograph tables, perhaps fearing that someone may ask you to buy a book? Consider the other side of the equation. A book signing is an opportunity to learn about the author and what makes a person undertake the challenge of writing a book. If you're a reader, you can delve into background information about the book. If you are an aspiring author, you can learn from another author's experiences. Every book signing is an opportunity to learn - without obligation to buy anything. Book signings can be held almost anywhere. Is your book about gardening, nutrition, or money? Why not have an event at a large garden supply outlet, a spa, or a banking institution? Are you writing about an exciting period of music or interesting musicians? Then consider one of the big local music stores for the seminar. On the other hand, if you're a speaker or professional seminar leader, why not sign your books in a nearby bookstore in addition to selling them at the back of the room when you give your next presentation? * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/general/signing_fun.html THREE WAYS JOURNALING CAN BOOST YOUR CREATIVITY AND YOUR BUSINESS by Michele Pariza Wacek Category: Ideas - http://www.wordpreneur.com/ideas I have a friend who has struggled with her creativity for a long time. She's extremely uncomfortable thinking of herself as "creative." We've been working together on it, and making progress. One of the tools that's really helped her has been journaling. From Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" to Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones" to Linda Trichter Metcalf, Ph.D. and Tobin Simon, Ph.D.'s "Writing the Mind Alive" to numerous other publications, journaling has enjoyed a long history of creative-nurturing along with a host of other benefits. For my purposes, I'm defining journaling as any sort of loose, longhand writing. Whatever thoughts come into your head you put them down on paper. There's no structure, no form, nor concern about spelling or grammar or even legibility. Even if writing isn't your dream, incorporating a regular program of journaling into your life is a wonderful way to jump-start your creativity and cultivate a constant flow of new ideas. Here are three reasons why. 1. Helps you get rid of the junk in your head. We all have it. Junk thoughts. Everything from self-defeating comments ("Oh, I'll never be good at that." or "Who told you that you could be a writer?") to the "worry of the moment" to neurosis of every type to the ever-growing, constant to-do lists * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/ideas/journaling.html SELL YOUR BOOK AT BOOK FAIRS, FESTIVALS & TRADE SHOWS by Catherine Franz Category: Markets - http://www.wordpreneur.com/markets Play a bigger game with your book sales by expanding your audiences at local or non-local book fairs, festivals or trade shows. Can't afford a booth or table, rent a space on someone else’s table and volunteer to be back for their book. In fact, rent a corner at various different tables in the same fair or show and triple your exposure. The place on the Net to go to find out what’s upcoming in your area, or an area you want to travel to, is at the Library of Congress’ website. When you visit, the listings are in alphabetical order or by state. You will find shows for other countries, including Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. International events, including Canada, listings available. Travel for a month, write it off for your taxes, and include several different fairs and shows while you there. Since I live in Virginia and travel frequently to Washington State, I plan my travel and schedule around these two areas to start. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/markets/book_fairs.html ------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT E-FACTORY.COM - http://www.e-factory.com 100% free and useful articles on how to build, run, and grow your very own Internet enterprise!
