A message from the author:

Why you MUST learn to market your writing

Dear fellow writer

Marketing skills are important for authors (writers who write books), freelance writers, copywriters (writers for business) — whatever kind of writing you do, you must be able to promote not only your work, but also yourself.

The world has changed. When I started writing, a generation ago, in the late 1970s, everyone had more time, and there were more markets, and more editors. Editors built their own careers, nurtured writers, and everyone's loyalty was taken for granted. Editors were loyal to their bosses, and to writers. You could assume that if you sold Editor A something, Editor A would buy your next piece of writing, whatever it was, simply because people stayed at their jobs longer. Today, if you sell Editor A your book, there's no guarantee that Editor A will still be with the publisher when your book hits the bookshops.

Today, there are fewer publishing houses and fewer magazines. Fewer editors work at the markets that remain. They don't have the time to edit, let alone nurture writers. Your writing must be publishable as it leaves your office-no one has the time to get an 'almost right' manuscript into shape.

Understanding today's publishing climate helps you in your marketing efforts. You'll understand that editors don't have the time to respond to you unless they're ready to buy, so you won't take a lack of response to heart.

Tell, Yell And Sell: Marketing Skills For Writers will teach you how to market in today's frenetic publishing climate.

If you love marketing, you're going to love this manual. You'll learn how to sell more with less effort, how to multiply the effects of your marketing, and your career will hit new heights.

If you hate marketing, you'll love this manual too. You'll discover how to market, you'll get excited about the possibilities, and no matter where your career is right now, it will zoom into the stratosphere.

This book is the key to your success as a writer.

Enjoy it.

All best wishes

Angela Booth

Here's exactly what you'll find in this manual: Tell, Yell And Sell: Marketing Skills For Writers

Table of Contents

PART ONE: TELL

Chapter One: Tell All — Write More

The first step in marketing is creating more product. When you have lots and lots of material out and about, flying hither and yon to markets, you develop a production mind-set. You also become a better writer, because each word you write improves your skills. You also become known to markets as a known writer who produces.

Chapter Two: Chapter Two: Explore New Forms Of Writing

If you're a writer, you can write for many markets. When you see yourself as eminently adaptable, it means that if a market suddenly dries up, it's not a problem. You know that you can boost your skills in another area. Think like a writer, and explore many different forms of writing.

Chapter Three: Set Writing Goals To Build Your Confidence

This chapter is about achievement, rather than goal-setting per se. Set and achieve goals the easy way, and build your confidence as a writer and marketer.

Chapter Four: Get Used To Writing About Yourself

It's important to get used to writing about yourself and your experiences every day — be proud of yourself and your achievements. Others will only believe in you if you believe in yourself first.

PART TWO: SELL

Chapter Five: If You've Written It, You Can Sell It

Even though we're talking about marketing skills, you must keep writing, because if you stop, you'll have a giant hole in your income stream not too many months down the road. No matter how busy you get marketing, you must still write each day. In this chapter we discover easy ways to do that.

Chapter Six: Pursuing And Wooing Markets

There's a big secret to marketing your writing. Here's the BIG SECRET: you need to pursue and woo your markets until they buy from you.

PART THREE: YELL

Chapter Seven: The Importance Of Promoting Your Work

In this chapter you'll learn how to build a lucrative career by becoming comfortable with promotions.

Chapter Nine: Your Web Site, Ezine, And More

Setting up your own Web site can be intimidating. What do you put on the site? How do you do it? In this chapter you'll take your promotions to the world, with a Web site and ezine.

Chapter Ten: Sending Out News Releases And Creating Your Media Kit

In this chapter we'll discuss news releases. New releases are vital to your marketing success. They're the ultimate in easy publicity, and the top "Yell". Something to think about: researchers estimate that 75 per cent of all stories in newspapers got there via a news release. Get ready for fame.

Chapter Eleven: Marketing — Persistence Counts

Marketing persistence is the only thing which separates professionals from those who simply aspire.

Chapter Twelve: Go Out And DO IT!

Tell, Yell and Sell starts today. Here's how to keep up the good work.
