Reviews for How to Publish and Promote Online: "An
informative and ground-breaking guide." "I absolutely loved this book -- and I would not say this lightly, because I read a lot of books on success in writing and success on the Internet, and few have actually helped me as this one has. Plus, it has websites to go to for more information and the additional dimension that the Web can provide. MJ
Rose has been an inspiration to me as I've written and e-published
my own fiction -- and gotten sponsorships for it, which means I
can make a decent living writing fiction for the Internet. But this
book helped tremendously -- Angela Adair-Hoy and MJ Rose bring fast
down-to-earth advice in this no-nonsense guide to self-publishing,
particularly via the Internet. " "The
authors saved me the trouble of writing about the world of e-publishing
in "The Author's Guide to Marketing Your Book." Instead of spending
chapters exploring this new world, I was able to sum up what all
new authors need to know about e-publsihing in 6 words... "Read
the Secrets of Our Success" "This
brand new book is just chock full of been-there done-that advice!
It has everything from sharpening up your press releases to current
URLs for web sites that will review your books. It's the kind of
information you can start using immediately. You'd better have several
highlighters handy when you read this -- you're going to need them!" "A
veritable compendium of information for today's publisher written
in concise, easy to read language. The book is well organized and
a pleasure to use. It is hands-on. It really addresses many problems
all publishers face not only with publishing, but also with what
may be more important, promoting their books. By including links
to useful web sites, the authors have expanded the information to
many times its 175 pages and have created a valuable resource library,
one that I will consult every day." "Having run the gamut of self-publishing guru guides, I've sometimes wished that I could cut and paste several of them together. Even then there would be pieces missing, however this book has it all! Up to date information with simple instructions and more resources than you'll find anywhere else. The
authors left no stone (or opportunity) untapped when researching
book promotion & marketing. Lucky for us they've put together a
book that shows what works and what doesn't. Best $$ you'll ever
invest in your endeavor." "I'm the author of 10 "traditional" print based books, as well as a screenplay, and so Electronic Publishing has interested me for a long time. Contrary to other titles out there, and contrary to all the hype about the Net and publishing with it, Rose and Adair-Hoy bring the reader back into the real world, showing the reader everything they need to know to start electronically publishing their own work. Not only do the authors utilise their considerable experience in producing top selling electronic books to inform the reader, they also interview various other best sellers out there. The result is an unbiased, realistic, and insightful view of this new publishing medium, devoid of hype, and packed with extremely useful tips and information. If you are looking at Electronic Publishing as a get rich quick scheme, then this is not the book for you. If however, you are ready for some hard work, and are dedicated to making staking out your claim in a brave new frontier, then Rose and Hoy will make sure you don't head down blind alleys, and don't get bitten by the many snakes that inhabit the wilderness. All
in all, an EXCELLENT book. Well done ladies."
