Read or download the pdf of the latest Your Book Publishing Coach newsletter now.
Here’s a taste of what’s in this issue:
o ARTICLE: How Publishers Decide to Publish a Book (or Not)
o More on Book Proposals … and the NEW Jump Start Your Book Tool kit
o INSIDER’S TIP: 9 Good Reasons to Start a Blog
… and more!
Starting next month (March), instead of one long newsletter I will be writing one new article a week, and posting it on the “Current Newsletter” section of my site. At the end of the month, I will still put it into a PDF version so that you can download it, print it and keep it.
I’m hoping the new format will enable you to actually find time to read my articles. I know that it’s easy to put things aside for “later.” Trouble is, “later” never comes, right?
So make sure you’re signed up for my newsletter, and that you add diane@wordstoprofit.com is in your address book and/or white list, so you can look for a new article every week. Please print it out and read it.
In fact, why not start a “Book Publishing” binder? Print out all the past newsletters, and each article, and put it into your binder. You might also want to print out the blog entries. You will be amazed at the amount of great knowledge you’ll gain as you keep up.
The latest issue of Your Book Publishing Coach newsletter is ready … and it’s a very good one, if I do say so myself. Full of truly insider information, such as …
- How to Get Someone Else to Pay for Publishing Your Book
- How to Find a Literary Agent
- Submitting Articles Online: How to Get Published Instantly
PLUS not only the download link to the University of Masters class on “How to Write Powerful Queries and Book Proposals,” but a very generous discount to membership to ALL the University of Masters online classes for one month.
Oh yes, and I’m also making available my list of 28 ezine article directories (newly checked and updated).
People have told me I give away too much valuable “insider” information for free. Maybe they’re right. Maybe that will change soon.
Until it does, I encourage you to download and read the latest issue.
Print it out and put it into a notebook. Do it for the back issues as well. Read them with a pen (to take notes with) and a highlighter.
If you’re serious about getting your book published and/or selling more of what you already have published, you will want and need this information. If not now, then later.
Also, feel free to pass on these newsletters to anyone else who is interested in writing, publishing, and/or promoting a book or other information product.

By the way, if you tried to visit this blog in the past few days, you will have noticed that it wasn’t there! If you subscribe to this blog, you know the blog wasn’t there, because you got an email announcing a “new post.” (Nothing like having one’s problems broadcasted!) Make sure you read “A Cautionary Tale” in the newsletter to find out what happened and, more importantly, to benefit from the lessons I learned the hard way, so you won’t have to.

I’d love to hear what you think, so after you read the newsletter please come back and post to this blog.
I’d especially appreciate your feedback on the main article, about whether or not you should talk about your book as you’re writing it (or even before). I’ve weighed in on my opinion; I’d like to hear yours!
Also, I mentioned a couple of different kinds of writers in that article (four types, actually). I’m very interested in what kind of a writer you are, and what your experience has been concerning talking about your ideas. Has it been a good thing? Why or why not?
