Magical Things Happen When You Aspire to Best Seller Status!




When you aspire to best seller status before you write a single word of your book, magical things really do happen; phenomenal occurrences such as….


• You multiply the odds one hundredfold of having a proposal for publication accepted;

• You open the door to a myriad of residual and incremental earning opportunities.

Here is an early example from my own experience…

I wrote Starting Your Own Business (How To Books Limited ISBN 9781845284206) way back in 1994, was offered a contract for traditional publication within days of submitting my proposal, and just six months later thrilled at watching my first book, my first ever best seller fly off the shelves of major chains.

Over the years this pragmatic volume has enjoyed five editions together with multiple reprints and now a sixth edition is set for release worldwide in June 2010.

15 years on the bookshelves of major chains is a long time in the publishing industry for a single title and (despite the fact the content has remained unchanged; only updated as required) it shows no sign of slowing down.

But this wasn’t a one-off because my good fortune continued and from just 2 topics I created another 16 bestselling non-fiction books.

Then in 2000 I turned my hand to fiction and began to churn out a steady stream of best selling novels in this new-to-me genre…

And yet at the outset no one was more amazed than me at the flyaway impact of my first book; my first best seller.

You see, it was only after I set about researching to flesh out what makes a book a best seller; dissecting, stripping down, and evaluating the ingredients of my own best selling work that the full force of what I had accomplished hit me right between the eyeballs…

I had subconsciously created a best selling book…

Could you CONSCIOUSLY write a best seller?

Why Project Researches Are Every Writer’s Stock-in-Trade


You should never ever dispose of your research material.

Why shouldn’t you do that?

Quite simply because you never know when it might come in handy; the questions to which you found answers for your first project will return again and again in different guises when you set about researching on new book concepts.

Never dispose of any research material; store it away securely for future reference.

You may have to do some updating but even so, the task won’t be nearly so difficult with a benchmark to start from.

Easier said then done though when your research material is all over the place in your computer...

This came home to me like a sore thumb when I set about researching on a new book project just recently.

I knew I had all the material I needed somewhere but as I had switched computers several times in the interim, much of it was still lurking in storage sticks.

Wouldn't it be great I thought if there was a piece of software that eradicated vexatious researching?

I looked but I couldn't find such a virtual panacea - so I created my own...

My new software is simple to operate, stores everything in one place, and prompts me with calls to action.

What it does in essence:

· Displays vital data on formatting options
· Stores statistics on previous surveys I have undertaken
· Reminds me to check whether my topic is as hot as I think it is
· Prompts me how to double-check on bestselling potential in my work
· Does likewise on the longevity factor
· Lays out the essentials for preparing an acceptable proposal for fiction;
· Does likewise for non-fiction topics
· Triggers my attention to fine toothcomb checks on publishing contracts
· Gives me a rundown on the advantages and disadvantages of hiring a literary agent
· Cautions me on the pitfalls of self publishing without due diligence
· Provides me with a failsafe strategy for online book selling

This clever little tool does more besides...

Getting Your Book Published Despite Constant Rejection


You try and try and try again to get your book published but each time you try commissioning authors relentlessly respond with a terse, painful, “NO!”.

Stop beating yourself up over rejection – you are not to blame for the fact that you have yet to savour success in getting a book published - and you are not alone.

It's getting more difficult to achieve publication with each day that passes…

The book trade is now almost totally geared towards bestsellers and celebrities.

Breaking in new published authors and placing their work in bookshops is no easy matter.

Finding a Formula for Getting Published

I took up writing on a part time basis fifteen years ago and to date have churned out 37 traditionally published books, all of which have attained bestseller status in their respective niche.

With 37 published titles under my belt, it is reasonable to assume that I might just be in possession of information contrary to the reality of rejection that many less fortunate writers experience…

What interest could this statement hold for you?

Just this: what I have achieved so too can you (perhaps even more) if you apply yourself diligently to the timeless secrets that all successful writers have used down the ages.

What are these timeless secrets?

• Discovering the Route to Capitalizing on Your Innate Expertise
• Adopting Proven Formatting Techniques that Others Writers Ignore
• Developing Your Own Distinctive Writing Style
• Waking Up to What Never Fails to Impress Commissioning Editors
• Selecting Topics that Stimulate Publisher Interest
• Being Conscious of Why Guides and Manuals are in Perpetual Demand
• Learning How to Incorporate Bestselling Potential into Your Work
• Crafting a Timeless Niche for Your Book
• Uncovering a Hidden Technique for Locating Appropriate Publishers
• Writing a Winning Book Proposal for a Work of Fiction
• Mastering the Guidelines for Submitting a Non-Fiction Book Proposal
• Diligently Preparing Your Proposal for Acceptance
• Realizing Why Multiple Submissions Always Bite the Dust
• Knowing What to Ensure Before You Sign a Contract
• Always Retaining Copyright and Other Valuable Rights
• Understanding How to Address the Author Questionnaire Correctly
• Employing the Services of a Literary Agent Where Feasible
• Placing Your Work Elsewhere While You Await Obtain a Publishing Contract
• Being Aware of How to Self Publish without Incurring Huge Costs

Embryonic authors who take the trouble to sift through the information overload that strives to stifles all of us soon harness these timeless secrets and employ them to break down the barriers.

How to Build Your Dream House


If you are thinking of building a home anytime in the future you owe it to yourself to find out as much as possible about the right way to build a home.
Building a home is one of the most important life and financial steps you will ever make. Why leave it up to chance?
Without the right tools and information, it could take you longer than you want to figure out the secrets to successful home construction. Instead of spending a fortune on so-called experts or knocking yourself out with the old trial and error method, there is an easier way to learn everything you need to know about home construction.

A few years ago I found myself in a similar situation. I had always dreamed of embarking on own build, commissioning house plans, designing and building a dream home.

After a windfall, I started making plans to build the home that had filled my dreams for so many years.

It quickly became apparent however, that there was simply so much to learn.

What I discovered completely changed the way I approached home construction.

How did I go about it?

The hard way though trial and error and what I discovered I committed to print in a 120-page report.

Essential topics covered include:

· Building Sites
· Foundation Walls
· The use of Wood
· Utilizing Sunlight
· Doors and Windows
· Painting
· Carpet and Flooring
· Basements
· Balconies
The information in this report is culled from a series of letters between a professional architect and his clients, and is composed of hints and suggestions relating to the building of homes. The aim is to give practical information to those about to build, and to strengthen the growing demand for better and truer work.

Even people who are not yet ready to build for themselves are seldom without an instinctive longing to do so sometime in the future, and so they maintain a lively interest in the current achievements of friends and neighbors in this direction.

If you are thinking of building a home either now or sometime in the future you could do worse than read my report. It is available for download at the link below.
