Thanks David. I've heard the wisdom of picking a niche for a long, long time and your example of Jay Conrad Levinson is perfect. I read all his Guerrilla Books and have followed him forever! I am going to fine tune and practice my nichecraft and a...

Six facets of thinking like an Entrepreneurial Author

1. Think new. Try to come up with fresh ideas that haven’t been done before. People like to try new things. New ideas can excite people more than ideas that have been done before even if they were successful. If you and your networks can’t dream up something new, use your creativity to give old ideas a new twist

2. Think inclusively. Create ways to bring people together in a way so enjoyable they will tell friends about it before and after the event.

3. Think big. Look at the promotional oppor… Continue

Borders Gets Another Year

The biggest worry of the year for book publishers has been answered, as Borders appears to have been granted another 12 months to sort itself out. Leading shareholder and lender of last resort Pershing Square has extended their $42.5 million term loan to Borders until April 1, 2010.

But Pershing has once again won big concessions for that extension: The "put" option to buy the Paperchase chain (which Pershing never wanted to own in the first place) will expire, and the big grants of 14.7 millio… Continue

Keep it Simple

One of the qualities common to successful nonfiction books is simplicity. They are based on simple ideas compellingly communicated by their titles, their covers and their marketing. So make your ideas clear, compelling and promotable, but keep them simple.

Barnes and Noble Reduces Inventory by 11 Percent

In their earnings conference call with investors, Barnes & Noble noted that "inventories declined $155 million or 11 percent compared to last year." They say they were able to "improve inventory turns to the highest levels in our history" and indicated "our in stock percentage of being in stock on key titles and back list did not suffer at all" as a result. Other supply chain improvements "resulted in reduced purchases from book wholesalers which of course carry lower markups." A good portio… Continue

Loved the blog entry on Houghton Mifflin. Had no idea. That's why we all depend on our great leader, um, that's you, to inform. I see nothing but opportunity here. You're up.

Hey, David!
Remember when you told me that I need to hang around the conventions where I want to be able to get onto the platform to speak?!
WELL! I found IT!!
And the people on the platform are Brian Tracy, Steve Siebold, Paul Martinelli, Don Hutson, Kevin Carroll, Tony Alessandra, etc.
I'm on the inside track to get to that platform by next summer because of the people I am friends with in the professional speaking industry and this unique opportunity to partner with them in business. It's really mind blowing!!!
I'd love to share it with you . . . . read the blog I just posted.
This is phenomenal!
