Jump Start Your Book Sales

 

“Demonstrates how energetic authors and publicists can increase revenue by carefully planning a book’s marketing strategy on TV, on the Net, in bookstores, through ‘buzz,’ etc. A particularly helpful section teaches writers how to actually selltheir books at those ubiquitous author readings. 71 illustrations. Writer’s Digest Book Club selection.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Their [Rosses’] advice is up-to-date, specific, and practical, whether the topic is generating publicity, cracking nontraditional markets (home-shopping networks, for example), or ‘muscling your way into traditional channels’ (wholesalers, the library market, educational sales)...This guide is an essential reference.”

Booklist

“Tom and Marilyn Ross help inspire those who want to sell more books. I highly recommend that you purchase Jump Start Your Book Sales. It’s a steal at the low price of $19.95.”

Independent Publisher

“The information the Rosses have packed into this twenty-five chapter book comes not only from the experience gained in marketing their own books for many years, but from what has been learned from the give-and-take sessions of their highly respected seminars. Jump Start has suggestions for selling to bookstores, libraries, non–traditional markets, premium and incentive sales. Throughout every chapter the reader comes upon a treasury of insider tips and tricks of the trade. The many sidebars liberally sprinkled through the text provide concrete contact and lead information.... This is a book for serious people interested in making a serious attempt not to have their books wallow in the basement.”

ForeWord

“Make more than just a living from your writing with this definitive guide to frustration-free marketing. Includes hundreds of Websites to help sell your books!”

—Writer’s Digest Book Club

“As the Ross's demonstrate through dozens of real-life success stories, free publicity is the key. They offer fantastic ideas for booking author events, signing, TV appearances and radio interviews, and they also show ways to capitalize on the latest promotional trends, including the World Wide Web. Tom and Marilyn Ross are best-selling authors of The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing, in addition to more than a dozen nonfiction titles. In their careers, they have helped thousands of self publishers, independent presses and authors sell millions of books.”

—Writer'sBookcase.com

Jump Start Your Book Sales is a very highly recommended, invaluable, cost effective 'core' title for all aspiring authors seeking to self publish; small presses operating on a shoestring or no- string promotional budget, speciality, academic and regional presses seeking to operate profitably, and authors with books by major publishers but unsatisfied with their promotional efforts.”

Jim Cox, Internet Book Watch

Jump Start Your Book Sales is an authoritative kick in the pants. This book thinks of everything you didn’t. And then some.”
