According to David Hancock, CEO of Morgan James Publishing, it takes the average person 100 formal book proposal submissions only to get a publisher to say ‘no’. Many submissions go unanswered, and many publishers disallow simultaneous submissions. This typically increases the time it takes for a book to get into print.
Although acceptance with a major New York publisher normally takes dozens of rejections, for internet marketer and affiliation expert Ken McArthur, it happened quickly. His proposal got him the coveted “yes” after only a handful of submissions. When Career Press accepted the proposal for his debut book, he was faced with the challenge of actually writing the book to meet a deadline less than four months away. His book, already available on Amazon.com and Target.com, is part of the publisher’s spring 2008 catalog of releases.
He sought coaching from my team at AwakenTheAuthorWithin.com for assistance with the writing and business development process. I created the world’s first live author coaching event in order to let subscribers listen in and follow his complete authoring system.
Participants in the live author coaching program at http://www.BooksMeanCredibility.com have access to the weekly coaching sessions plus other educational materials to help them author their own books for as long as they stay in the program. Those who follow the same steps McArthur took can write their own lead generating book and build a business around it.
Our team is teaching McArthur how to properly position his book as a lead generator for the business he is building around it. I am the author of several books, including Author and Grow Rich: How to Write a Money Making Book in Only 12 Hours. Assisting me is Ronda Del Boccio, award-winning author of I’ll Push You Steer: The Definitive Guide to Stumbling through Life with Blinders On, a former client whom I hired to join the team.
McArthur’s book, now in the hands of his publisher, is designed to be entrepreneurially sound so that it naturally leads readers into a deeper relationship with the author and his material.
