Kathleen, After 25 years coaching through traditional to online–many changes. Writers need to be aware of them.

Like you I too want to raise consciousness on the book business, if only beginners and pros would listen! Smile.

Great article Judy. Your insights are amazing. I am in complete agreement that bookstores are not the best route to take. Online marketing, live presentations and bulk sales are the way to go.

Thanks, Judy, for this interesting information. I have three novels published and promote them on my website, do an ocasional tea and booksigning, lecturing, etc., but feel I'm still not doing enough. Naturally, I'd like more readers although the books have done quite well. I have a memoir ready for publishing as well as the beginning of another novel. Frankly, I'm hesitating to go forward in the present publishing climate. Will your book help? Forgive the dumb question – of course it will help. LOL.

Hi Alice, Good to think what audience wants in a book from you before you write it. So I like mothers of college students, but maybe hard to find where they hang out so you can promote to them.

What other topics are you thinking about? if you are ready to know more strategies, then read my bok, “Write your eBook or …” at

After reading it you won’t think it’s a big risk to write a book.

Thanks for coming to blog and keep reading all the other ones!

Thanks for letting me subscribe free. I'm working on three book ideas, one of which is probably the one I need to read and follow for my own mental health, not sure of the title, but think it should be "Why won't you take me to college with you?"….(the alternative to those anxiety pills for mothers of freshmen college students)

Needless to say, the title's too long…but it does say it all.
