SELL MORE BOOKS!

I recently finished reading a book called SELL MORE BOOKS by J. Steve Miller and it is, in my mind one of the best (if not the best 0 books I've ever read on marketing for writers. It is a MUST READ. Here is my review.

Sell More Books – Book Marketing and Publishing For Low Profile and Debut Authors – Rethinking Book Publicity After the Digital Media Revolutions. There it is. The complete title, including subtitles. Why on earth would anyone want such a long title, anyway?  Well, for the answer, read this book! In fact, read this book for every other reason you can think of to address the myriad of questions that the title raises, because - pardon the cliché – this really is a must read for low profile and debut authors.

J. Steve Miller is thorough, inventive, practical and even entertaining in Sell More Books. Not only will you want to keep reading, you will want to re-read this book, making it one of your ‘go-to’ books on marketing. In fact, I plan to buy a print copy so that I can mark it up, even though I already own the e-version. It’s that good!

He covers all the book marketing basics, beginning with a solid foundation in publishing itself. (Something he advises you need to understand in order to understand the marketing end of things.) Every chapter is full of easy to read and follow ‘how-to’s’ , is full of examples, and then ends with an action plan. As a successful, multi-published author he goes on to add even more credibility to his ideas by referencing and calling on other experts in the field, and he has provided for changes in the industry by linking to additional information and expanded chapters which can be accessed online.

There are lots of great resources out there, but Sell More Books by J. Steve Miller is currently my favorite. I can’t recommend this book enough for anyone who is at all interested in marketing books – low profile, debut or just ‘wanna-be’. It is worth every word.
