New Business for Authors

In a fit of shameless self-promotion, I'm posting about AuthorWeb - a service for authors to help them navigate through the digital minefield. (Yes, we have a page!)

You’ve published a book. What’s next?


The hard part about writing a book should be writing the book. You’re not a digital marketing guru – you’re an author.
So let AuthorWeb take care of the digital stuff. Here are some of the things we can do for you:

 

  • Upload your manuscript to Google for Google Book Search
  • Upload your manuscript to Amazon for sale on the Kindle
  • Make sure you are listed with Bowker’s Books in Print program so your book is listed on all e-commerce sites
  • Work with Barnes & Noble.com’s Small Press division for web (and possible store) distribution
  • Work with your POD service (Lightning Source, Lulu, Xlibris, etc.) to make sure you are getting the value you’ve paid for
  • List you on author sites such as Filedby
  • Send your book to bloggers who cover the topic you're writing about, for reviews


Other services may include:

 

  • Enrolling you in AuthorsGlobe, so you can get virtual speaking engagements
  • Setting up Facebook/MySpace/Twitter accounts so you can jump on that social networking thing
  • Setting up a blog so you can tell the world what you’re doing


How do we do this? We’ve been in this business for 22 years. We’ve watched it evolve from a print-and-paper world to a digital world – so fast that many authors are left hanging with no support. How do you navigate all the rules and forms? Why is an ISBN essential for selling your book? Once you’ve got your book listed on Amazon, how do you get the word out so people can buy it?


We have helped authors for 22 years. We can help you. for information on the service packages available.
