Continued from page 1
10. Price book competitively in your genre. 11. Make your book look like it is good value for price – it’s all about perceived value in minds of buyers. 12. Don’t write for yourself – write for end buyer. Fulfill a need for them or make them feel better. 13. Think of corporate market when you are writing. Make a list of corporations that can benefit from your book, and then contact them. 14. Submit your book to book clubs at least six months before you publish. 15. Find an agent who sells to gift market. 16. Find an agent who sells foreign rights. 17. Find an agent who sells to display market. 18. Don’t be afraid to offer large discounts on nonreturnable sales. 19. Seek licensing agreements – they are a great source of income for no work on your part. A professionally designed book opens many doors while an amateurish appearance closes many doors. It is vitally important that you invest in your book at beginning to create sales in long term. Plan for publicity and marketing before you print your books – printing is not final expense in your marketing plan. It is beginning. You can have best book in world, but if no one knows about it, no one will buy it. Create a book that buyers just can’t resist. © Copyright 2004 Ink Tree Ltd.

Continued from page 1
Do you realize, when words come to you faster than you can write them down, that those are as much God's words as Bible? I pray that you do. I pray that you will, finally, truly believe that it is impossible for you to write something inferior ~ when Spirit is moving. God does not do anything inferior. God has given you words, to share, that meet people where they are. You have a type of 'gift of healing' amidst a terribly wounded and cruel world. I pray you get a glimpse of how important you, your ministry, and your seed is ~ then stand up to Satan and not let him stop you from passions of your heart any longer. Words, inspired by God, do not belong to you ~ but Him. Share them, wherever there is a door of opportunity, as if your message, alone, can change entire world ~ because it can. Via Internet, your writings will be multiplied so many times that only God can count number of lives that have been touched ... and how many lives they touch ... and how many lives they touch. In that ripple effect, you have been given a great opportunity to lead. And know this; it is impossible to out give God. What a gift!In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as stars of heaven, and as sand which is upon sea shore; and thy seed shall possess gate of his enemies. Genesis 22:17 ~ God's Creation ~ However God created you, He didn't make a mistake. Adding gifts and talents, Passion is His to create. Out of weakness, His strength is ours to take, Multiplying His precious seed; All for Kingdom's sake. © by Joyce C.
