YOU ARE YOUR OWN BEST MARKETING REP!

In the modern world of business [and your business is writing] it’s useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. –David Ogilvy

In each subsequent newsletter you receive, I will be sending out tips to help you be your own best marketer. Of course, DPP will do as much work as we can on our end, but the lengths which you go to make your book a success are what is crucial to the success of your book- No one can promote your book as well as you can!

Please send me questions you have about marketing and self-promotion and topics that you are interested in learning more about. I will do my best to gather the best answers and information possible and pass it along in our weekly e-letter.
Send questions and topic ideas to nicpit@DigitalPulpPublishing.com

DON’T escape THE BLOG!


For those of you not familiar with blogs (web logs) here are some short and to-the-point definitions:
(n) web log, blog (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"; (v) blog (read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal)
Our DPP Blog will be up and running this Friday, November 11! We will be updating it weekly, with information about DPP, digital publishing in general, and all kinds of other fun tidbits! Our weekly newsletter to you will be posted and you’ll be able to post opinions, feedback, and other information you’d like to share.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

The Third San Francisco Writers ConferenceBuilding Bridges to Better Tomorrows February 17 - 19, 2006
For Complete information and registration:
http://www.sanfranciscowritersconference.com/

Genene, David and I attended last year’s conference, and we’re going again in 2006. It’s a good networking ground, and there is good information on the publishing industry. Also, it’s a great opportunity to meet agents (they have “speed dating” where you can pitch your book to agents in about 5 minutes). They also have nightly sessions where you can read your work out loud and get feedback. And, heck: it’s San Francisco- a wonderful writer’s town and a magnificent city!


Write on,

Nicky
