Create a Web Site That Sells!
I spent the entire month of August last year restructuring our web site. As a result, sales have tripled — not an easy thing to achieve in our highly competitive field. Let me explain: www.acappela.com is a site of resources and services for writers. As you know, there are probably thousands of such sites up,…
What Do Authors Do During School Visits?
One good way to develop a school program is by watching what other author/illustrators do. Call the media specialists at schools in your area to see if they are hosting a visit, and ask if you can join the audience.

Future Trends of Publishing
To add to the problem, some bookstores are returning books before the 90-day window, waiting a week and then ordering more books. Now they have another 90 days to pay for the books and whatever they don’t sell they can return without losing a dime, according to the broadcast.
