THE EASY WAY TO SELL YOUR BOOK TO A PUBLISHER
 
In Only 30 Minutes You Can Find Out How To Sell Your Book To A Publisher
 
 
Ask any group of people if they have ever wanted to write a book and you can be sure that at least 50% will have tried.
 
They will tell you that they already have several chapters tucked away in a drawer or filed on their computer.
 
The other 50% will probably tell you that they have definitely thought about it. And several of them will be planning to start one in the future.
 
If you are one of those people who have always wanted to have your name on the front cover of your own book, but don’t know where to start and how to go about it, my report will tell you everything you need to know.
 
 
MY PUBLISHING EXPERIENCE
  
My name is Judy Piatkus and for the last 28 years I managed and ran my own self-financed independent publishing company Piatkus Books.
 
Over the years my colleagues and I published over 4,000 titles which were sold in leading bookshops and online stores to customers all over the world.
 
We financed every single one of them ourselves because we believed in the quality of the authors’ work and that we would have a good chance of selling it.  
 
So when I finally sold Piatkus Books in the spring of 2007 we had so many good books on our list that several multinational corporations wanted to buy us.
 
During my years as a publisher I read many thousands of projects sent in by potential authors.
 
Many of them were excellent books that we were able to make an offer for and publish successfully.
 
But for every book that we made an offer for, we also rejected hundreds of other projects that did not make the grade.
 
Many were written by authors who were experts on their subjects.
 
But they did not present their work to us professionally and so we had no choice but to turn it down.
 
 
THE REWARDS OF BEING AN AUTHOR
 
 
Writing your own book is hard work requiring huge commitment, effort and determination. But the rewards are many.
 
There are few things as thrilling as the day the first copy of your book arrives from the printer.
 
You hold it in your hands and you look at the printed cover with your name on it.
 
It’s an amazing moment.
 
You can’t help but feel great joy and pride in what you have achieved. 
 
AUTHORS BECOME AUTHORITIES

The publication of your own book immediately confers authority on you as an expert on your subject.
 
It can lead to achievements you might not have created even in your wildest dreams.   These could be:-

*         Media attention for your work.
*         New job offers.
*         Invitations to give talks and lectures at home.
*         Requests to travel abroad (with all expenses paid).
*         Opportunities to lecture to passengers on cruise ships.
*         Bookshop signings.
*         Requests to write articles.

And much much more.
 
Over the years I saw so many authors achieve fame and distinction in their chosen fields – and have a great deal of fun besides.
 
·       One Piatkus author sold a million copies of her book
 
·       Another author became a nationwide spokesperson on her subject when the publicity manager arranged for her to be interviewed in a national Sunday newspaper.
 
·        A professor saw his book become standard reading for teachers, counsellors and social service workers two years after it was first published. Suddenly he began to receive substantial royalty cheques in the post twice a year.
 
·       Several authors were shortlisted for book awards.
 
·       Many authors earned royalties from their books for more than ten years after they were first published.
 
Other authors achieved fame and fortune and glittering careers because of the success of their books.
 
There’s no end to the excitements that could be in store for you once your book is published.
 
While I loved being a publisher and working with authors to sell their books, I gradually began to want some of my evenings and weekends back.
 
In the summer of 2007 I sold my publishing company Piatkus Books to Little Brown. They were thrilled to acquire the Piatkus imprint and all the books which continue to sell regularly all over the world.
 
But even though I am no longer running my own publishing company, I am constantly meeting people who want to know how to sell their book to a publisher.
 
So I decided to produce a  report telling you in concise detail exactly what you need to know to get your book published.
 
It consists of 25 pages packed with information and advice based on my experience.
 
The process you describe was broadly the same that my co-author and I followed and as a result, we obtained a good advance for our first book’    - Sagra Maceira da Rosen, co-author of the forthcoming title "The Towering World of Jimmy Choo".
