2: NEWSLETTER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
------------------------------------------------------------

The newsletter for SelfPublishedAuthors.com is here to provide a resource for all authors. Obviously, I 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 February, April, June, August, October, and December. 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, I'll ask for some patience. I am reevaluating various plans for advertising in both the newsletter and the website.

Currently there are places for you to list your books, websites, and even join our banner ad exchange. You can also feel free to post in our forums and tell us about yourself and your books. As soon as I figure out a new model for classified ads in the newsletter, I will let you all know. Thank you for your patience.

3: FEATURE ARTICLE by Judy Cullins
Top 10 Reasons why Article Marketing is Perfect for Book Marketing
------------------------------------------------------------

If you can write a book, you can also write an article that showcases some of the how to's in your book. Online prospects search for free articles on article directories and top-rated web sites that offer the same. When you write and submit articles on a regular basis, you will become known as the savvy expert in your field. That is gold because happy readers will then go to your web site to see your book and other offerings.

Top 10 Reasons

1. You attract your best, targeted audience. It's one thing to write health articles, but when you get more specific such as writing an article focused on treating and healing diabetes, that audience will see you as having the knowledge they need.

2. Your article reader will visit your web site. That's what you want--to build your daily visitor numbers. And, for best results you'll need to offer a sales letter for each book or book package you sell.

3. Published articles in top ranked web sites expose your information to many more people than just any old site. So, be sure to check a web site's Google or Alexa ratings, and submit to the top ones first before the rest.

4. Promoting your book also showcases your service. If you are a coach, solo professional, or other small business your book and articles will attract all the clients you want.

5. Article marketing is easy for the non-techie who wants to use the Internet, but doesn't have sales copywriting expertise or web design knowledge.

6. Like your book's chapters, articles have a beginning, middle and end. You need to hook your readers the first sentence. Mention the problem, then in the middle part solve it for them.

7. Articles educate--that's what your potential book buyer wants. So impressed with this kind of online publicity, your buyers will have enough solid information, they can make a decision to buy easily!

8. When other publications publish your article, it's like an endorsement of you. Subscribers trust the ezine owners and will trust you too.

9. The more your articles are seen and read, the more credibility.
People who are looking want to trust you and will over time. That's why article marketing brings long-term results.

10. Writing and submitting articles doesn't cost much. The only money you spend is if you delegate them to an assistant. And that investment brings at least 10X its cost. If you don't think marketing as an investment, you are missing out big time on your well-deserved profits.

Your book brands you and your business. Be sure to leverage it to bring big profits with article promotion.

5: GUEST ARTICLE by Wendy Keller
Gray Cells Make Books Sell
------------------------------------------------------------

The hopeful author pauses a moment before responding to my question. "Well, I, uh. Hmm. Wait, I know! Everybody is going to buy my book!" He finishes with a triumphant flourish of his hand. The rest of the audience stares at us.

This is the wrong answer to my question about the size of the market for his general sales manual. I take out my figurative hatpin and poke it into his idea, hoping the hissing air will blast him in the face so he wakes up, recognizes publishing is a business, not a game, and takes the crucial steps necessary to win at it. I'm about to teach you what he should have known before facing down an agent.

I say, "Yes, but not everybody in this country buys books. Not everyone in the USA can read and not everyone reads English." If he understands what I am telling him, he has a chance of being published. If he takes umbrage, he's a goner. The ability to cogently define your market is the difference between life or death in what has become a bottom-line cutthroat business.

What's the answer I'm hoping he will give me? I want him to say, "Sales training is a $28.9 million dollar industry annually, and I'm the first sales trainer to teach the closing technique I am writing about in this book." Or I want the doctor to have said, "Sinus problems affect one in five Americans, and my book is the first to offer a compilation of alternative remedies to help them." What I want is known as "marketing statistics". I successfully sell books when I can prove the audience for the book is huge, and that people are looking for this specific information.

Knowing your market and your intended outcome before you write your book is the surest way I've seen to give a potential author a real fighting chance to succeed, whether they self-publish or find a literary agent and go to Random House. The solid, hard numbers are critical to everyone involved in the publishing process.

Questions you simply MUST ask yourself before you write your book are:

Who is my audience?

How many of them are out there?

How can I prove they need this book?

What does my book offer that is new, different, better or more substantive than what's available to them today?

In marketing, there are two terms that are important for authors to learn. They are "psychographics" and "demographics". The first word refers to how people think, the second is where they live, how much money they earn and those details. The more you know about the people who will buy your book, the better you can target the book to them.

Why should you care? Isn't this the publisher's job? The days of new authors on 20 city all-expense-paid chauffeur-driven-limo book tours are history. Smart authors know they must take 90% of the responsibility for their book's marketing. It's not enough to write well. The author must also be a good marketer. If you can prove that you know your audience and have plans to reach them once your book is out, you become a highly desirable potential income stream in the eyes of publishing.

Where do savvy authors-to-be get this valuable statistical information that isolates, codifies, classifies and identifies the large numbers of people waiting around for this book? The Internet is the best place to start. The websites for the US Census Bureau, Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and more are waiting to share their information with you. Make sure you are precise about citing where you get your numbers!

After those have been collected, pick out the top five magazines your potential book buyers are reading. Call the advertising departments and ask for a "rate card". They'll send you valuable statistics on who is reading their magazine. Add their numbers to your book marketing plan and your query letter.

What associations or groups do your audience members belong to? Call their headquarters and find out how many members they have. Learn about how big their industry is. They will gladly give you this information for free.

Combine all this information to prove to yourself and your publishing peers that you know that there are adequate numbers of people out there longing to read your valuable book. This is a strong secret of success -- success that can be predicted before the book is even written.

7: COMMENTARY by Laurence James
The Importance of Research for Effective Copywriting
------------------------------------------------------------

Most people who write for a living will tell you getting it right takes about 10% actual writing time and 90% research. Knowing what to write before you write it, and to whom, might sound like an obvious place to start, but when you're under pressure to meet a business writing deadline, the obvious can go out of the window. It shouldn't though, because even when you're up against the clock, the whole process of writing your content will become easier if you put the pen down, sit back from the keyboard, and consider it first.

"An important first task when you are planning a piece of written work is to think carefully about its purpose."

(1). Start by identifying your reader, bearing in mind these three simple questions:

* Who is my reader?
* Will they read this?
* What value is being created?

(2) If, for example, your brief is to write a 1000 word 'business to consumer' brochure on a new range of motorized mobility scooters -- the language, tone and style of your piece should not be targeted towards the youth audience. Sounds too obvious? Look in any newspaper, magazine or at any website, and you'll soon find countless examples of advertisements for products that seem to be incongruously addressing a completely irrelevant market. This accounts for the irritation or amusement you feel when viewing a TV advert not aimed at you. When this happens, the audience feels disconnected straight away, and the intended message of the content falls between the cracks. It's one of the biggest reasons sales copy and adverts fail.

In our example, after you've identified your main 'mobility scooter' readership as senior citizens, you then have a very compelling reason why they will want to read about your new products. But it's a competitive market and the scooters won't sell themselves. So the next part of the process is to ask yourself, 'What's in it for my intended readers -- what benefits will our products give these readers over and above those of our competitors -- and how do I communicate this to them in a language they will appreciate?'

Consider benefits, not just features

This is when the 'analysis' stage of the research process kicks in -- when you go back to your product and set out all the features it offers your target reader, listing the corresponding benefits. Think about everything your product can do, and how this will help the reader -- how this will create value for them within the content you are about to write.

If at this stage you need to clarify certain product features or specifications, or identify more generalized subject matter that reinforces your point -- go onto the Internet and Google your key topics, read up on relevant details that will put your claims into an authoritative context. Imagine yourself in the mindset of your target reader, and search for examples of similar products directed at them. Note the language used to talk to them, and consider what works and what doesn't in terms of tone.

The more detailed your research at this stage, the more rounded and effective your writing will be. You might think you're collecting superfluous details, but when it comes to actually writing your content, you'll find you're already a 'mini expert' on the subject, and can cherry pick the best facts, stats and juicy pieces of information to back up your message.

The final stage of your research should take the form of collating your rough notes into a definitive structure. This structure will depend on the media in which your content will be published - for example, writing for the Web is very different than writing a sales letter or brochure -- but if your research is sound you'll put yourself on a solid footing for actually structuring and writing effective content.

8: PRESS RELEASE
A New Chapter For Budding Authors
------------------------------------------------------------

Jasper Dorgan, has taken the first steps to fulfilling his dream with the completion of his first book THE PATH OF STONES. Or so he thought - for Dorgan, who cites Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Ian Rankin and Ken Follett amongst the authors that he hopes to emulate one day, is typical of those who are looking to write the next bestseller.

He says: "I've sent my manuscript to numerous publishers and literary agents. I know that mine is just one of hundreds that they receive, but the process is so incredibly frustrating and soul-destroying. Sometimes you even wonder if it has actually been read."

There are, on average, 125,000 new books published in the United Kingdom every year and of these only 1% have come through from unsolicited manuscripts submitted to publishers. And for aspiring authors like Dorgan it's getting increasingly harder.

Fewer and fewer publishers accept unsolicited manuscripts, and those who do, receive hundreds, which go into the slush-pile where, one day, if luck prevails, someone may pick it up and start to read it.

According to Jenny Ertle at Ransom Publishing, "95% of manuscripts on the slush pile are not of a suitable quality to be considered. If OnlyOneChapter.com can deliver good quality submissions it would make discovering new talent a lot easier and give a good platform for those writers."

"Knowing where and how to submit your manuscript can help you make sure that you are closer to getting into that 1%," says Alex Geraghty, the founder of OnlyOneChapter.com, which is designed to bring authors and publishers together.

There are two parts to the OnlyOneChapter.com site: firstly, it is designed for unpublished writers looking to be discovered by a publisher/literary agent.

All unpublished works submitted are read and reviewed, and only those that are approved by the Literary Professionals led by Joanne Danks are then listed. Joanne is a university lecturer in Fiction and Creative Writing and has over 15 years' experience as a freelance writer for television, radio, internet and print. Her short stories, academic books, features and radio work have been published and broadcast internationally, including for the BBC Television and Radio.

Once the writer's submission has been accepted, the first chapter along with the book's brief and synopsis, and the author's mini-blog will appear on the site. Publishers and literary agents can quickly and easily scan the database in search of new talent and view, read and review of what is of interest to them.

Adds Geraghty: "OnlyOneChapter.com has been created to discover and promote published and unpublished new writers. It provides a shop window for budding authors and most importantly gives them the reassurance that their work is being read. At the same time it provides publishers/literary agents with peace of mind that the quality of works submitted is of a higher standard compared to what could be in their slush pile."

A number of publishers and literary agents have already signed up to OnlyOneChapter.com, including Futerman, Rose & Associates, Black Spring Press, Virago Press, Darley Anderson Literary Agents, Maia Press and Tindal Street.

Maggie Hamand, Co-Director of Maia Press, which has published, says: "Anything that helps to connect new writers to publishers is a good thing. Dealing with unsolicited manuscripts is a major headache for small publishers and OnlyOneChapter.com offers an ideal solution for both writers and publishers."

Dorgan, who has signed up to OnlyOneChapter, agrees: "Writers need all the help they can get and if the site can put their works in front of publishers and literary agents, that's brilliant."

In addition to helping find tomorrow's talent, OnlyOneChapter.com enables published authors to promote their books via i-Read&Buy!

i-Read&Buy! is designed for both published and self-published authors to promote new books and generate exposure and sales. It is linked to Amazon and gives the author a great platform to showcase their book to readers and both publishers and literary agents.

It gives the reader the ability to look inside a book, make a decision, buy it and also to give a review. Once again for users of OnlyOneChapter.com, the process is simple. Just upload the first chapter along with a synopsis of the book and the book's Amazon web address.

OnlyOneChapter.com charges for each submission and this nominal one-off cost allows unpublished and published authors to register, present and promote their work internationally. For unpublished works this is £24 for a 6 month listing, although monies, less an administration fee of £7, will be returned if the material is not accepted by the panel of literary professionals. For published material it is £48 for a 12 month listing.
