Comments on: About http://creativeimpressionscorp.com We're putting Authors in the Driver's Seat with Independent Publishing & Profitability Sun, 21 Mar 2010 20:28:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: David http://creativeimpressionscorp.com/about/comment-page-1/#comment-45 David Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:00:12 +0000 http://creativeimpressionscorp.com/?page_id=2#comment-45 Sharyn, It seems no matter which way I go in the publishing field, there is a lot of hard work involved, some of which I'm not at all comfortable doing. For example, doing radio interviews is something I have never in my life considered. I have never been much as a public speaker. I am much better at putting my thoughts into the printed word. It is a lot to consider. But, at the same time, it would be wonderful to leave something behind in the literary world when my time comes. I think what I need is a boost of confidence to continue onward. Is there someone that I could get to read my raw, unedited manuscript and give a professional opinion? By professional opinion, someone who can say with good authority and experience that this book marketable. I don't want someone to tell me what I want to hear. But, someone who will give an unbiased opinion. That is what I need. Maybe that person is you, I honestly don't know. But, I feel before I dive headlong into this any further, this is what I need. I would appreciate your comments on that. Sharyn,

Consider yourself fortunate, a publisher didn't pick up your book. First, they take over ownership of the book and take 50% of the sales price just for printing it. Think twice about buying a book in a bookstore or on line at Amazon - the author will only get 50 cents if they're lucky! I love to show authors how to retain 75% of a $20 book - after all, it's their intellectual property. I've read through a few of the 2008 entries and I enjoyed reading them. I'd like to know what you would like to do with the book - do you want to speak, do radio interviews or what will you be comfortable doing to market the book? I agree with you, I don't like the idea of being on the road trying to sell books at book signings. I developed a complete program that is self paced. You can pick and choose as many of the programs, including 1,500 radio talk shows you can get interviews on. I typically call 4 producers to get one interview and sell 25-100 books per interview. Feel free to contact me and we can talk about getting your book out there.

I have been completely disillusioned about the entire publishing field. Yes, I'm a first time author. I wrote a blog-novel mostly just to serve as an outlet for my desires to write. What I did not expect was the following I attracted along the way of writing this novel online. I was very humbled and surprised. I've got the entire novel saved in Word. I've been turned down so much that maybe there is another way to publish rather than going the traditional route. I have no desire to travel all over the country to promote the book. As you pointed out, it just doesn't seem to be worth it. If you do get a chance, I'd appreciate you going to my website, take a look and maybe give me your impressions. The people that enjoyed it are not professionals. I'd like to get your opinion if that is ok. David Your services are very interesting.
