2: NEWSLETTER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
------------------------------------------------------------
The newsletter for SelfPublishedAuthors.com is here to provide a
resource for all authors. Obviously, we want to help you
succeed in your writing, self-publishing efforts, and self-
promotion. I have received a few requests from fellow authors
asking what they can do to promote their books in the
newsletter.
I am always happy to help promote an author and their works in
the newsletter. That's what we're here for. That being said,
the best I can do is one of the following.
If you are interested in writing an article about your
experiences as a self-published author, I would be more than
happy to consider it for publication. If I publish the article,
I will give you space for a signature box that you could use to
promote yourself and your book.
If you would like to send me an ARC copy of your book, eBook
format preferred, I would be happy to review it and interview
you. The interview would most likely be what gets published in
the newsletter, but reviews of recommended books may also be
published. Please note, I have already been presented with some
works to read, so please query me first before sending your
books. I'd rather return a book than form a slush pile.
If you have a book signing coming up, we do try to list those
when they are timely. Remember our newsletter is published in
December, February, April, June, August, and October. If you
host a class or workshop, or have a website that promotes a
writer's resource, please let us know about it. All links about
such events are provided free of charge. Your name, location,
dates, and contact info. will be presented.
If instead you are just interested in placing an advertisement
in the newsletter for your book or website, you can read about
the rates on the website at
http://www.selfpublishedauthors.com/advertise.html -- they are
very fair (only $6 per newsletter issue for a five line ad.)
Advertising requests sent to me, however, will be forwarded on
to Christina Wheeler (contact@selfpublishedauthors.com), the
website and newsletter owner.

3: THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITOR by Dan Shaurette
------------------------------------------------------------
I recently read about an amazing new service and I just had to
pass this on to everyone. Google has just introduced a Beta
version of a new service which has the potential to
revolutionize how we find information from books online.
Moreover, it means a great new marketing venue for authors and
publishers.
Those familiar with Google.com already know it is the most
powerful internet search engine. If it has one fault, it is
that it can only search web pages. Google is now working on a
system by which they are scanning books provided by publishers
in order to include them in their regular internet searches.
Whenever a book contains content that matches your search terms,
Google will show links to that book in the search results.
By clicking on the book's title, you'll see the page that
contains the search terms, as well as other information about
the book. You can also search for other topics within the book.
Browsing within the book will be limited to only a few pages,
and copy/paste and printing will not be allowed, in order to
protect the copyright of the book. Moreover, there will be a
"Buy this Book" link which will lead the browsers to a bookstore
selling the book online!
Imagine as this service grows to collect scanned texts of every
kind just how powerful this will become, not only in finding
information, but in directing readers to books they will enjoy
and learn from.
As self-published authors, you and I can get in on this service
as a Publisher IF your book has an ISBN. The service is totally
free to submit a work to them. They do require the us to mail
them a copy of the published book, so we'll have to pay for
shipping of a copy to them. They are not accepting eBooks at
this time. Also, because of how they will be scanning, they have
to take the pages out of the binding, so the copy will be
destroyed and cannot be returned. If these are the downsides
of the service, it is more than worth doing. Here's why.
~ You get to promote your book for FREE. On Google, the largest
and most used search engine!
~ This is targeted advertising as readers know they can find
what they want to know in your book.
~ Your book will be linked to your commerce site (but not third
party like Amazon) for sales.
~ The service is ad-based, but all ads are context-based, not
irrelevant nonsense AND the publisher will get revenue from
click-thru ads on your book's page.
The only cost to you: as a publisher or self-published author,
is just one copy of your book and shipping to Google.
Your benefit: one huge venue of exposure.

4: FEATURE ARTICLE by Judy Cullins
HOW A BOOK IS BORN: One Author's Story
------------------------------------------------------------
Not all books come out whole, all at once. In fact, most books
ease out little by little. They have strange and wondrous
beginnings. Some come from speeches, some come from articles or
short stories. Your book may evolve from a teleclass or coaching
experience with a client.
The saying goes if you write a page a day, at the end of a year
you'll have a book--a big book at that! But then, why think so
big?
Twenty-five years ago, I gave Speedreading and Memory seminars.
I thought of myself as a teacher or trainer, not an author.
After joining Toastmasters and National Speakers Association, I
learned enough to strengthen my presentations to promote my
personal growth skills business.
My audiences from corporate and community education wanted
handouts to take home with them. Seeing a need I revised and
edited my how-to articles, then bundled them into short books.
The articles came from my talks, wide research, and my own
experiences. I wrote the books I needed and wanted to read. So
can you! Check out your files today, and see what undiscovered
gems are there.
Presenting 15 public seminars a month, these simple short books
sold well at the back of the room as well as leveraged higher
priced corporate training, all enough to make two-thirds my
income for the next 15 years.
The irony of this story is that I did write a long book--sort
of. At 160 pages, PASSION AT ANY AGE is complete, but my passion
for it has waned. Following the traditional route, I submitted a
book proposal to 30 agents. Five liked it, but their limited
book tour offers and knowing I'd still have to promote it
myself, made me think. Too much time and money down the drain
unless I was already famous. I ended up giving away a chapter at
a time to my book clients to inspire them. I also realized you
can't market effectively more than two or three products at a
time.
Since my book writing, publishing and promotion knowledge made
me a savvy expert, I offer ten new eBooks on Book writing,
Online promotion, Web marketing and copywriting, and
ePublishing as well as one-on-one coaching and teleclasses, so
clients can learn by their preferred style.
Remember, your book is your business card and helps evolve your
business. Through writing a book, you not only help your
audience solve a particular challenge, you share with the world
your unique experience to make a difference in people's lives.
Your book is an extension of yourself, your skills, and your own
style. It will bring you consistent, monthly income as it does
for me.
My 20 years research and weekly seminars on how to write a book
have come full circle. As a book coach, now, I encourage
professionals to write a book--just write a short book! Make it
an eBook. Think 10-30 pages. You need to write your book and
share your unique message, but you also don't want to spend all
of your time on it.
For added value, write a print and an eBook at the same time.
Just copy and paste information into 2 word files. Then change
the eBook to focus on fewer questions you answer. Omit some of
the stories and now you can market by speaking the print book,
and market the eBook Online through the 2 best partners --
your ezine and short articles submitted free to opt-in ezines.
Begin your book today by writing an article that answers one of
your book audience's challenges or problems. You can then,
string several articles together. Include more stories,
examples, how-to's or exercises in your new book's chapter
formats.
Before you know it, your book will grow. They always grow longer
than you think they will. You will have plenty of pages, and
each page will deliver practical, inspirational material to your
new clients and customers concisely and directly--the way they
want it.
Remember, Offline and Online potential book buyers want
information. But, they no longer want to read hundreds of pages.
They don't want to spend time reading a long book.
Will business people buy your book? Yes! They are hungry for
information--information that only you have and can say in your
unique way. Will your book sell? Yes! With just a few
significances such as "presenting useful, practical
information," or "presenting material that could change a life,"
or "creating a deeper understanding of human nature," your book
will be a great seller.
Feel the sense of completion by writing your book this year.
Don't worry about how long it is, its format, how much it will
sell for. Remember, like me, you can write your print and eBook
at the same time! And keep it going for your lifetime.

6: PUBLICITY ARTICLE by Judine Slaughter
Create a Great Newsletter
------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a product or service to sell, newsletters are a
great way to keep your name on the consumer's mind. Your
newsletter should include information about what you do, but
also articles with tips and advice from others in your industry.
This requires professional savvy to pull it all together, so the
readers can't wait to read the next issue. Use the following 6
steps, for success:
1. Think like a Businessperson
Who needs to give you articles? Determine you market and write a
plan for when you will solicit, and re-solicit for
contributions. You also need to write your vision of timeliness
in prepublication and issuance. Don't try to do it all by
yourself. Find a co-editor who can help to write articles. But
most importantly, remember to be cordial to EVERYONE. You never
know when the least likely person will have that dynamite
article to fill the last empty space in your newsletter.
2. Learn to love Writing
One good column for each issue is "Thoughts from the Editor."
There's no specific length or number of words; the readers just
want to hear your opinions. You can write about the weather,
your favorite hobby, or your thoughts on a recent movie.
The list is endless, but again - remember your audience. Try to
apply your thoughts to what the general membership will want to
read. After the a couple of issues, your column will be the
first one most will want to read. If you currently don't write
often, start a daily journal, write out the grocery list
(instead of just picking up what you see as you stroll the
aisles), or take notes at meetings. Putting your thoughts on
paper is uncomfortable if you don't do it often.
3. Go Get Those Articles
Uh-oh, the deadline to press is near, and you don't have enough
articles. This will never happen to you if you keep a handy
stash of articles, which can be reprinted. Where do you get
extra articles? Join a listserve, and subscribe to many ezines
(electronic magazines) in your field. When you see an article or
email response that appeals to you, ask the author if you can
have their permission to reprint their words. Most of the time,
the author will agree, because this gives them extra exposure.
4. Edit The Text
Whenever editing someone else's words, keep in mind, "That
sounds good to me." I don't mean you as the editor. This is what
you want the author of the article will say after they see the
edits. (You'll have a chance to say this for yourself later.)
Bad news travels faster than praise. If an author doesn't like
how you changed something, be confident they will spread the
word. Then only a few will have the confidence to send articles.
Don't let this happen to you. Respect the words of all authors.
When you get permission to edit the text, try to edit for
structure and plain language, not content.
5. Use Plain Language
What is plain language? Plain Language is writing which is
understood by 90% of the general public. This means each
sentence is written on a 7th grade level, with 20 words or less
and related points are in bulleted lists. Also, write in active
voice, instead of passive voice. Active voice gives
responsibility to someone for the action. For example, change
the following:
"The book flew across the room." to "I threw the book across the
room.", or "The speech was good." to "She gave a good speech."
Plain Language helps to eliminate confusion for the reader.
6. Market Yourself
Remember, you're now a businessperson. You have to attract
"customers" and keep them. How can you do this? Whenever you go
out to the grocery store, movies, anywhere...always speak to
everyone. Now is the time to stop disrespecting someone because
your best friend doesn't like them. YOU NEED ARTICLES! And after
you receive the articles, thank the person when you see them
again. If someone has taken the time to write an article, give
them as much praise as possible. As far as they know, every
article is a good article to you. Remember the phrase, "That
sounds good to me." This is your chance to say it. If someone
tells you they want to give you the poem from their 5-year-old
grandson. Then you say, "That sounds good to me." Maybe you
can't fit the poem into the newsletter, because of other
material. But when given a cheerful, honest reply, that person
knows they are welcomed to submit other articles. With a little
determination, and by building on one article at a time, you too
can have an award-winning newsletter.

8: GUEST ARTICLE: The Power of a Shy Writer by C. Hope Clark
------------------------------------------------------------
Over half of the adult population claims shyness as a part of
their lives. And the majority of the other half admits to shy
phases in their lives. So why do people not want to be shy when
it appears to be a natural occurrence?
The public interprets shyness as a shortcoming and outgoing
behavior as successful. They read shyness as a lack of
confidence and outgoing behavior as control. It's all a game,
people. Some of the extroverts are shy people. And some shy
people are very self-assured, just not willing to flaunt
themselves. All this second-guessing drives writers nuts when
we ponder marketing our column, book, script or article.
Why can't we just be our natural selves?
Some people retain their shyness throughout their lives. Others
outgrow it either through simple maturity or overt effort. But
what helps you as a shy writer more than anything else is the
identification of what makes you shy. When you define you
parameters and limitations, you gain a comfort level and learn
what to wrap your arms around. Putting a finger on your issue is
half the battle and often acts as a magic spell, making part of
the nervous behavior just go "poof" and blow away. If it
doesn't, you learn to deal with it. And if the shy behavior is
extremely difficult for you, learn to work around it.
Shyness is a desire to remain internal and avoid stepping
forward. Some definitions say things like "shyness interferes
with the ability to enjoy one's self." Enjoying yourself is
subjective, and the only person who can define that enjoyment
is you.
What happens to you when shyness takes a grip?
~ Voice changes
~ Lisping or stuttering
~ Dry mouth
~ Talk too fast or too slow
~ Nausea
~ Eye contact
~ Sweaty hands
Your shyness is approachable at different levels. A speech
impediment can require professional help while nervous shaking
hands might only need an object to hold. A glass of water may
ease your dry mouth.
Your obligation is to name your "ills" and find the "cures."
While you may possess a reserved temperament, you are not
relieved of the responsibility of self-improvement. You practice
your writing, your needlework, your fishing, your cooking or
your makeup. You alter your hairstyle or try to lose weight.
Shyness can be accommodated.
I am shy. I'm the girl who abhors parties, and goes home feeling
like she just ran a marathon. I have never wanted to change that
I know what settings I can function within and which ones I
cannot. I understand that sacrifices are made and alternatives
required when I do not follow the "norm" of social behavior.
While I may disagree with society's definition of "norm," I
still live within that society. But I am also one of the most
confident people in the room. I know who I am.
When confronted with a public setting, I consciously weigh the
need versus the want, the sacrifice versus the luxury, the
requirement versus the option. When I am expected at a function
and cannot justify my absence with anything other than "I don't
feel like it," I attend and do the right thing. If I cannot
justify attendance by an actual need like high volume sales or
support for a friend or family member, I decline.
On occasion I have a grand time at public gatherings and I hate
to leave, but rarely do I stay for an entire event. In my
forties, I still have a negative comfort level with public
appearances. I recognize the problem, do not discount it, and
work to weave my personality (no, it's not a flaw) into my work
with a proper balance to benefit the customers, readers,
editors, publishers and myself. And I achieve this balance
through self-appreciation and regular analysis of uncomfortable
events. In other words, I habitually run a check of the pros and
cons of my shyness versus the need for public appearance as each
situation arises.
In a few words…the successful writer fills a reader's need. And
once you fill that need, those readers become fixed upon your
product. They do not expect loud or soft words. They do not
expect a fast talker or a slow presenter. They want satisfaction
and your job is to produce.
If you can meet the needs of your readers from behind the
scenes, then do it. If you need to step in front of a crowd, do
it. And if you are ill from the effort, paralyzed by the fear,
or nervous due to phobias, you will not meet the needs of your
customers. They need to "see" your best side. If that means
discarding the spotlighted book readings and avoiding live
public appearances, then do so.
As a shy writer, you analyze what best works in your favor.
If the stress of a book tour gives you headaches and keeps you
awake at night, forego it for other promotional tactics. If you
can talk yourself into public settings knowing that once you
step out you do fine, your shyness is not limiting, just
charming. And if you can strut out in the open and welcome the
world with a big hug, that's great, too.
The happy balance of pleasing the reader and enabling the writer
is key to a fruitful career. An unhappy scribe is good for no
one. Depressed novelists and suicidal poets make for interesting
history, but today the point is to grab the gusto and enjoy life
through the talents given you. Write with a passion, promote
yourself by honoring your worth and remember that your readers
want you to be a success. Sacrificing your personality in the
process is not the answer. The shy writer in you has choices.
Your job is to capitalize upon those choices and find the
methods that work for you and your readers. Being shy is not a
problem; it's who you are.

------------------------------------------------------------
Author Tells Writers to Skip the Book Signings
"Sell Your Words, Not Your Soul"
Phoenix, AZ - "Sell your words, not your soul," says C. Hope
Clark, founder of FundsforWriters and now author of THE SHY
WRITER. Clark became a writer because of the seclusion, but she
quickly learned that writers, known for their reclusive natures,
could not publish without the dog-and-pony shows demanded by
publishers and editors. So she fought the mainstream advice and
published THE SHY WRITER.
"Here you receive pointers on how to maneuver in the writing
arena without the social weight around your neck. What you won't
receive is a message telling you to "get over it," says Clark.
"Every book on publishing says in so many words that a writer
has to be an extrovert. Writers are not natural salesmen, and
many good writers give up or live in poverty as a result of the
commercialism of publishing today. I am shy, and I've had to
fight to overcome that part of my personality on a daily basis.
I got tired of it. I wanted to write AND publish without dancing
under a spotlight. I'm not an extrovert. That's not who most
writers are.
To make her point about traditional publishing, Clark self-
published THE SHY WRITER. "I'd be a hypocrite if I preached
about dodging the public appearances then signed on with a
traditional publishing house and jumped to their requirements to
speak and tour. So I found a sympathetic company that allowed me
to self-publish this book."
Clark knew that refusing the speaking circuit would land her an
immediate rejection by most standard publishing houses. So she
paid part of the publishing costs up front and printed the book,
with the publisher and Clark sharing the royalties.
In traditional publishing, the publisher bears all the upfront
expenses, and turns down 99% of submissions.
Clark already manages an Internet newsletter service to 10,000
writers, and plans to educate writers via this service. Writer's
Digest Magazine selected FundsforWriters.com as one of its 101
Best Websites for Writers for 2001-2004, a firm indication that
the author knows how to reach customers other than eye-to-eye.
Clark and her company FundsforWriters is listed as a resource
with such entities as Michigan State University, the Speculative
Literature Foundation, Writer's Market, Jeff Herman's Writer's
Guide, numerous writing manuals, and hundreds of writing
websites. Clark has published in Writer's Digest, The Writer
Magazine, Home Business Journal Magazine, and many other paper
and online periodicals.

10: COMMENTARY by Gerri D Smith
------------------------------------------------------------
DISCOVER THE SPARK THAT MOTIVATES YOU IN BUSINESS AND LIFE
Can There Be Any Other Business Like Your Own Business?
by Gerri D Smith
"Whatever you persistently allow to occupy your thoughts will
magnify in your life."
-- Dennis Kimbro, PhD., Author, Small Business Consultant,
and Lecturer for the Napoleon Hill Foundation
Your reason for becoming an entrepreneur or having a business of
your own is the first spark that motivates you to do so.
A successful business is determined by how often you are
motivated and in balancing the various stages of your life.
Planning every step that is well thought out is the key to
having continuous success in your business.
In order to start a business, it only takes one thought.
In order to grow any enterprise, business, or entrepreneurship
it requires a series of steps that must be actively and
consistently developed. To keep your business successful, it
must be given constant thought and attention. Your thoughts can
empower you, give you energy, or make you act on your desire.
Only you can decide which thoughts you must focus on to guide
you toward your success.
When your thoughts are expressed to others, they become a
reflection of who you are. They can project themselves onto
others. So, take charge of your thoughts. Think about how you
feel, and how those emotions affect you and carry you through
life. These emotions when joined with your motivations determine
your end result.
The manner in which your thoughts are displayed, not only in
your business but, in your daily life serve a useful purpose.
Therefore, it's important to understand where you direct your
thoughts. Focus on good thoughts and keep negative thoughts and
feelings under control. Unpleasant thoughts can turn your
customers - and friends, away.
What is that special purpose that you find fulfilling? When you
know this, you know what motivates you. Your purpose becomes a
special commitment, a determination that youre born with, a deep
desire that gives you energy, a spark of fire, or a charge that
is necessary to produce your ultimate goal. Putting your energy,
concentration, and action behind those thoughts will motivate
you to accomplish your goals in life.
Once you find what motivates you, then take the next step.
Focusing your thoughts and your attention on one step at a time
makes it easier to reach your goals. Stay open to all
possibilities and ideas. Divine intervention will guide you,
making opportunities available where none may have existed
before. You may even see new ideas that you never thought were
possible. Do not doubt. New ideas will come your way.
Be thankful for them. Look at them with a beginners mind with
alertness and enthusiasm. Then move on to the next step.
Thoughts are the first forms of communication. When you voice
your thoughts, you are sending and receiving messages.
Your thoughts must be a continuous flow of positive energy.
Find some way to communicate this positive energy (enthusiasm)
to your customers. This is the lifeline of all businesses.
Then figure out a creative way to let consumers know about your
business products or services. Effective communication makes a
big difference in your success.
First, make sure you are offering the right product or service.
When you can say, I use it myself, and it's great, means you've
found the right product or service to offer to consumers.
Whenever your business has a new product or service to offer, it
must have the power to stick around. Positive, ongoing
communication with your customers provides this satisfaction.
Listening and paying attention to your customers is another step
to growing your business. Be a forward thinker. It's a business
tool that is often overlooked. Be open and willing to accept
changes and new ideas. Focusing on quality and not on profits is
another way to encourage business growth. Find a way to
communicate the benefits of your product or service. Does your
merchandise or work reflect the high standard that is expected
by the public? If not, be willing to make it the best.
Motivation is the driving force behind your business. Find what
motivates you and keep the emotion going. Let it lead you to
being unique. After all, there's no business like your own
business.
