It seems not a day goes by when I don’t get into a chat about publishing books … hence my upcoming class with Andy Wibbels, Blog Your Way to a Bestseller. (We’re launching it tomorrow.)
Those who’ve followed my work know that I teach some about writing and self-help publication – and that I’ve published several books with ‘the big boys’. Hence, my lengthy list of publishing myths. Here’s the first half of the list.
Famous Publishing Myths:
1. Your book will make you famous (Actually, YOU make you famous … if you know what to do … especially if you harness the power of blogs.)
2. Your publisher will promote your book like crazy (Maybe if you’re Tom Clancy or Danielle Steele, but not if you’re like the rest of us)
3. Your self-published book is so needed, it’s just going to take off like wildfire (Sure, but only if you know how to promote it)
4. A book will give you instant credibility (Possibly not, now that anyone can self publish. But you can use your book to build audience, create rapport, and connect with the media.)

I look forward to hearing more about your new program. Patsi and I have been running a program called Blog to Book Project (http://www.blogtobook.com)so we may have some referrals for you.
These are such wise words, Suzanne. Getting a book into print seems rife with myths and needs some good debunking. Debunk away, I’m sure your project with Andy will be both enlightening and entertaining!
Suzanne! Hello and hello!
Good stuff! Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Keep it coming!
