One Thing Marketing: What marketing is…and isn’t.

By on February 5, 2013 in 3. Publish your Story, How do I Promote my book?, Melissa Tagg, One Thing Marketing

So, February is sort of a lovey-dovey month with Valentine’s Day and all, so it’s only fitting we continue talking about something I love: author marketing. (If you just groaned at those two words, no worries. You’re normal. I’m the weird one.) But here’s the thing, marketing doesn’t have to be a moan-inducing. It can even be, get this, fun. The key is understanding what good marketing is…and isn’t. For the rest of our Tuesdays in February, we’re going to talk about some very practical tips for marketing your book (and you!)…even before you’re contracted.

Want to enter the Frasier and wondering how to write a 500 word synopsis?

By on January 31, 2013 in Delivering Convincing Proposals, How do I enter a Contest?

I have talked to a number of people want to enter the Frasier contest, but are daunted by the “500 word synopsis.”  So…I thought I’d try and help.  First, you’re among friends at My Book Therapy.  We understand how difficult it is to condense your epic down to 500 words.  Remember, the synopsis in the Frasier contest, like the synopsis for your agent or editor is entirely to tell your editor/agent/judge that you have put together a solid story.  Yes, you want to woo them with words (and a well written synopsis can be a thing of joy and beauty.  Not long ago, I actually teared up reading the amazing synopsis of one of my clients!)  However, first you want to prove to them that you have all the pieces of […]
