The average book today sells only about 250 copies per year and 3,000 in its lifetime. Improve your odds of becoming a successful author by producing a business plan for your book before you write a word. As you do, you develop an Author Attitude, craft a marketable book idea, and evaluate your idea and yourself through an acquisitions editor’s lens. Learn how to determine if your book is not only a great creative idea but also marketable product—a viable business venture.
This is NOT a session on how to write a book proposal (but you’ll learn a lot about it). This IS a session about how to use the parts of a book proposal as a process to train yourself to see both the creative and business aspects of writing and publishing a book and creating a business plan for a book. This session is appropriate for fiction writers and for nonfiction writers and for writers planning to self-publish or traditionally publish.
Session takeaways:
1. Learn how to discover if your book idea is marketable.
2. Find out how to decide if you are cut out to write and market a successful book—if you are an attractive publishing partner or savvy indie publisher.
3. Discover what publishers and readers want.
4. Learn 9 steps for producing a successful book.
5. Find out why you shouldn’t write your book as soon as you get the idea.
