- Is Your Author Photo A Turn-off?
By: Lynne Klippel | - Several years ago, I got some blunt feedback. A woman was brave enough to tell me that the photo on my book cover and website made me look old and boring. That stung!
However, she was right. I got some new photos done and noted a much more positive result. I love the photo I use on my website now and get positive comments on it all the time. I'm still the same person; the only change was in the skill of the photographer.

- How To Price Your Book So That It Sells
By: Lynne Klippel | - Many authors struggle when pricing their books. On one hand, you are providing extremely valuable information to your readers. On the other hand, books have a perceived value that is less than a coaching session or a live event.
For many of you, pricing will not be an issue. You will work with a publisher who will determine the price of your book for you. However, if you decide to self-publish your book, or work with a publisher who allows you to set your price, you may find y ...

- Guaranteed Access To A New York Publisher Cuts Years Off Publishing Process
By: Glenn-Dietzel | - When signing a book contract with a traditional New York Publisher, the author loses control of the book's content and cover design, as well as the rights to the book. The author typically earns less than 10 per cent of the sale, which translates to less than one dollar per book sold. If the author hires an agent, the profit margin is less, because the agents fee is 10 (and sometimes 15) per cent of the authors share of the profit.
