Yesterday, my 7th book was released.
After teaching seminars on publishing and promoting for almost six years, I finally got my act together and put them into book form, packed with a ton more information.
Thanks to all who sent out messages, posted about my book, and purchased it yesterday.
It’s unnerving to throw a book on that subject out there, as so many good ones already exist. (Trust me, I’ve read all of them.)
But each one taught me something new. Often many somethings. Because no one person knows everything about this business.
And while there are many books on publishing and even more on marketing, very few books feature both.
In short, I’ve decided not to worry. I created the best book I could, both filled with information and yet easy to follow.
And I did it to help other writers and authors avoid the pitfalls and mistakes.
So read, learn, and follow your dream!
And today’s tour stop is at Stina Lindenblatt’s blog with her review of my book.
Hopefully I shouldn’t have added THAT to my insecurity list today!
$14.95 Trade paperback ISBN 978-0-9827139-5-2
$4.99 Ebook ISBN 978-0-9827139-9-0
Purchase at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Amazon Kindle UK, and Powell’s.
Tomorrow, I'll post about your book on my other blog. I was glad to help and con hardly wait to read it.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book! I'm all set for tomorrow, and I've got it schedule to post at 3a.m. - 6a.m. EST but I can't promise that I'll be up and commenting that early.
ReplyDeleteTyrean, I wouldn't expect you to be up that early!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book release. I read about it over at Arlee Bird's blog. Looks like a great combination of both sides of the "industry."
ReplyDeleteOh Diane, I think I live on the moon - the dark side at that! I'm late for the party. Many congratulations on your new book and it's one I desperately need (I suck at promotion) - off to Amazon. Wishing you many sales!
ReplyDeleteLoving seeing your book on so many blogs, Diane. Go you!
ReplyDeleteBest of lucks with your book, Diane!
ReplyDeleteNope. You don't get to feel insecure today. Today you make the rounds of all your friends who are posting about your great new book and just feel good.
ReplyDeleteIt's so exciting to have a new book out. Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteRelease the dreamer...and live life boldly! Good luck with your new book!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again!
ReplyDeleteI believe always being willing to learn will make even the most experienced writer even better. You can never know enough. So keep pumping out those books. There's always something else we don't know but should.
ReplyDeleteI think your new book is perfect for writers - and there are many of them here in the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteYou have the corner on the blogosphere this week! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Good luck with your book.
ReplyDeleteYour advice is always amazing, Diane. I'm looking forward to reading the book. Once we stop learning, we stop growing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

I worry about the competition at times too, but like you, I know all I can is write the best book I can.
