Publishing Veteran Discusses Trends, How to Get Started Writing, and More

In my last post, I discussed a possible new direction in publishing in the wake of some recent events. I wanted to ask a veteran publishing professional what he thinks of what’s happened, because he’s been involved in a rather unique publishing program.Â
I was all set to do a regular teleseminar for you, but:
a. my guest could not do it any evening this week and
b. some of the material is time-sensitive
SO …
I recorded the interview and you can listen to it by clicking below.
My teleseminar guest is Rick Frishman, who has been in publishing even
longer than I have, and is an author (of course) who’s actually been on Oprah. He’s
the founder of Planned Television Arts, and now publisher of a company that I’ve been observing with great interest for several years now, Morgan James Publishing.
Rick is the author of a brand-new book, Where’s Your Wow? 16 Ways to Make Your
Competitors Wish They Were You. You can catch the interview I had with him about that book on my podcast.
We talked about how Morgan James Publishing is modeling a new approach for nonfiction authors, and how the whole publishing industry may be following suit. Also about a way you can learn how to make your book a bestseller from the master of book marketing, Mark Victor Hansen, who has sold millions of Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
He’ll be revealing his secrets, along with others who will be at the Author 101 seminar at the end of May.
Please catch the audio of this interview now, and check out the links mentioned in
the interview (which I’ve conveniently posted below the audio). Rick has some invaluable goodies for you.
As you’ll hear in this interview, Rick Frishman has a passion for assisting authors
in getting their message out–a passion I share. Please listen and learn!
