I love it when a writer is good with being vulnerable - with a memoir that can transform lives! Kudos, Don Wooldridge

What are YOUR experiences in memoir writing or marketing?

I have been busy assessing how to make my upcoming memoir one that will hit the ground running! I have tried so many avenues of finding agents and publishers who will love it; I did not account for how busy they are with the glut of material being dumped on their desks.

It is time for a new approach - one that meets the expectations of those who may hold the future of this book in their hands.

What have been some successful ventures into traditional publishing you have used?

My heart was touched today upon receiving this testimonial from Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg...

Bringing my voice, my poetry, to print was a huge feat for me!

Anna Weber, Literary Strategist, brought me to that place with her talented guidance. She took a poet with desire and transformed me into a poet with… vision. She presented the exact tools needed to process my journey the entire way. The “Critical Path” that she sets for you is a step-by-step process that she personalizes to make you into a visible and noticed author.

My book Seasons of the Soul: Transitions and Shifts of Life stayed in the number one rank for weeks as the best seller for Nature poetry on Amazon and is still staying strong in visibility. It is her skills and expertise that guided me to be the author I am today and to her I am so grateful. Anna Weber, is a tenacious, dedicated, and an organized strategist, I would and do recommend her services to writers who are serious about becoming an author.

Thank you, Maureen

Nature is the foundation for Seasons of the Soul - a compelling book of poetry.

Are you 100% confident in the quality of the marketing you put out there? I received an email this morning that made me stop and think - about what I am posting here!

At the end of the day, my intention is to embrace the reality that not everyone is going to love me! Although I did have a niece who grew up believing everyone loved her, and I am not so sure that belief was not self-perpetuating!

But, back to the intended message... it is ok that not everyone loves you and you should never allow that to stop your sending out regular, content rich messages from which others can - if they so choose - benefit.

Stop worrying about whether it is too often, not often enough - or if something you say might annoy someone... or bore them... or what if, what it, what it! With this much fear, you become immobilized and absolutely nothing can happen for you - or for the readers you hope to serve.

I have studied the marketing guru, Seth Godin, for a long time, and he has a philosophy that I think belongs in the minds of authors, which, paraphrased, goes something like this: Your job in book marketing is to write messages for readers who do love what you stand for - and forget the rest!

When you try to please all the people, all the time... you end up pleasing no one. The trick, in building a healthy Author Platform is to remember exactly who your ideal reader is - and concentrate your message content on them only. When you get clarity around this... you can stop worrying and write messages which are interesting and entertaining.

I had to go through the exact same mind shift! In my goal to be authentic and in service - it became much easier to focus on my objective and my audience and forget about trying to impress the next "possible" reader... those who know, and have come to count on the messages I share will be waiting in the wings for the next, and the next, and the next piece of wisdom I share. And those who think, "Nah - she is not for me," well, I get that feeling too; I have been there as well!

So... ask yourself the question this morning, "Have I made this kind of a marketing mindshift to I know what I send out is fun, engaging and effective?"

What is the best marketing tool or technique you have found thus far in building your Author Platform?

Prolific Author – Paula Rose Michelson http://wp.me/p4bKKd-17d

I am blessed to frequently run across truly amazing authors - writers who have serial stories in them; the kind of stories that stay with you and lead you to want to reach for the 'next' one. Paula Rose Michelson is such a woman. I ran across her on - of all places - Twitter, and the rest is history. I felt compelled to deliver her to you! [ 140 more words. ]

Found a nicely arranged marketing piece for a new book. You might want to start collecting ideas like this - and REwrite them to meet your book. This REwrite process helps you do two things: Create innovative marketing collateral and - discover more about yourself and your book - and how each can benefit the lives of readers. Keep in mind - it should never be about YOU... when you make the shift to how your message serves others, both your marketing and your writing take on different perspectives - and it becomes a big ole win/win - readers like your work better and you sell more books!
