Summary: Great Resource For Selling Your Book!
Review: I ordered "How To Publish and Promote Online" about 3 weeks ago and have been using what I learned to help sell my print book and ebook, "Suicide Pumpkins." Not only, have sales for my book really jump started but I've picked up ideas I can use for future writing sales! Additionally, I've also picked up lots of traffic at my web page for the poetry mag that I edit by using ideas and examples from this book. If you're thinking of self-publishing or have a book published already or even by a small press and want to increase your sales yourself then this book is chock full of helpful information. It makes it easy to know what to do to promote and more importantly sell your book online and in some cases offline.

Summary: Very informative!
Review: I received this book two days ago and was shocked to see how much information it contains. The book contains a detailed Table of Contents as well as a detailed Index. The body of the book is filled with websites to help you promote your book and information on the different formats in which you can publish. It also is filled with inspiring stories of famous people who either started out self-publishing or ended up self-publishing. I'm an author and website designer currently constructing WeddingReflection.com and this book will help me in both venues!

Summary: THE Book that Launched my Own Publishing Company. 10 Stars!
Review: I was given this phenomenal book as a gift when I was submitting my first manuscript to major publishing houses, only to find the typical rejection slips that nearly all authors receive. I read this book in two nights, highlighted the pivotal information that gives authors all of the answers as to exactly how to publish your own books, market yourself with articles, newsletters, speaking engagements, and how to exchange information with other websites so that you are appearing in your specific genre over and over again. I can only tell you that this book was the catalyst to the creation of my own publishing company, where I love every minute of creating what I love, while sharing with others. This book teaches you how to submit book excerpts to on line e-zines, submit articles for genre specific print publications, how to be active on line, and sharing in the spirit of cooperation where authors can help each other promote their work - which is a win/win for all. This book gives you outstanding resources, tips, examples, and is in depth enough that you can learn how to create your own niche, your own company, and the success you deserve as you share your gifts with others. I can only tell you that because I was given this book as a gift, it completely and positively altered the course of my life, for which I am eternally grateful. HIGHLY Recommended if you want to be published, and create the success you deserve in your joy-filled process.
Thank you M.J Rose and Angela Adair-Hoy for your profound book! It is a true gift in all regards.
Barbara Rose, author of, 'Individual Power' and 'If God Was Like Man'

Summary: This Book is Not for Newbies
Review: If you are in need of a step-by-step book, this is not the book to buy. It does contain all the resources to find the steps but you must ferret them out. The book is a collection of how-to pieces by many authors and, as a newbie, found this confusing. If you've been in the e-book fray for a while, you will doubtless find this book an excellent reference.

Summary: Useful if you want to sell your written material online...
Review: If you're a writer or e-book author, beginner or advanced--and if your basic question is: "How can you make money selling your written material online?"--then this book provides a lot of answers for you. Most of the ebooks and information out there talk about what ebooks are, or how to create them. This book talks about all those and more... While there are many topics covered, I chose to focus more on the useful marketing and promotion info found in this book. For example, it includes links to places that help you market your ebook. And that's the key: Your ebook is worthless unless you can market it and get the word out to your paying customers that your product even exists. Here are some topics that I liked: - How to post audio clips of you reading from your own books.
- 6 popular online promotional tactics...that didn't work (Learn from their mistakes, so you make better use of your time. )
- 6 surefire ways to write new releases that get published.
- 21 places to send your book-related press releases and announcements online.
- Sample telephone pitch to the Media, plus 37 responses and insightful tips from them.
- 22 sites that host author chats.
- How to get publicity via discussion lists
- 10 places to find Discussion Lists.
- 9 electronic newsletter promos you can send your sample chapters to.
- 6 Ongoing Publicity Campaign Tactics.
- 9 places where you can advertise cost-effectively.
- 5 case studies of authors who used the "FREE" approach to boost book sales.
- And a lot more. Bottomline: Get the book if you need brushing up on how to market your publications online, or if you want to gain insight on what worked for someone who reportedly earns $5,000 a month in ebook sales alone.

Summary: What a fantastic book
Review: Instructions for reading this book: sit with a pad and pen next to you, and jot down the ideas it gives you as they come. If you wait until the end, you will lose it all as this books contains reams of information. It's been well organised considering the number of different people it's aiming to. Because it's divided into articles, you can simply skip over the ones dealing with information you don't need and you don't have to be concerned about missing anything. It's a great resource for anyone who wants to be a writer.

Summary: Disappointing...
Review: It just goes to show... yes, anyone can publish and sell a book, even if it's unorganized and full of repetitive, outdated, and technically incorrect/incomplete information (for example, why would anyone want to zip a PDF file--they're already compressed!). This book is a loose collection of articles; a few actually offer worthwhile information, but most are completely useless.

Summary: My copy is dog-eared and ragged!
Review: Jam-packed with practical suggestions, this book is essential for every writer who has a computer! In addition to the chapters by M.J. Rose and Angela Adair-Hoy, the book includes success stories from other prominent online authors. These "how-I-did-it" essays are inspiring for both new and experienced writers. I found many new resources and unusual ideas in this book (the book contains over 500 links). The 58 chapters plus author comments are short and focused, and the index is extensive so you can easily flip to topics such as "author chats" and "book reviews."
