Easiest Booklet Promotion You'll Ever Do

You have a story of your own, whether you realize it or value it, or not. Some part of that story is useful to an author or editor who is putting together a book of some kind. I have contributed to well over a dozen books in the past decade. Yesterday's mail brought my gift copy of the most recent contribution:

The New Writer's Handbook 2007, Edited by Philip Martin, published by http://www.ScarlettaPress.com I'm in some excellent company among the other contributors to this book.

It's a fairly common thing that people are looking for contributors to a book they are writing. Once in while you pay to be in the book, which John Kremer has done with his recent editions of "1001 Ways to Market Your Book." On rare occasion you are paid a small honorarium to be in the book. More often no money is exchanged at all.

You can find writers looking for contributors in many places. Two places are one the the newsletters that Dan Poynter puts out each month, (it's his Marketplace newsletter). More info at www.ParaPub.com The other I know about it at www.WritersWeekly.com They have a place on their forum for people seeking contributors to books. By keeping an eagle eye on these and other places, all kinds of opportunities present themselves.

Oh, and why do you want to do this at all? Let's put it this way. Whenever anyone contacts me because they read about me in a book, they are already in "buying mode." Plus it's a great way to be IN a book without WRITING a book!

Until next time,
