Associations ~ Author / Writer
Associations are a great way to keep
informed of industry trends and the latest news. Associations are in
groups of authors, on-air personalities, publicists, publishers, and trainers.
Please seek out an association that is equivalent to your industry. If you are
an author on a particular topic, make sure you are in an association about that
topic. If there isn't one currently about the topic of your choice, you may want
to consider forming an association of your own. If it is good enough to write a
book about, then it is probably worth taking the time to form an association for
it.

Author Branding
Banding is the recognized image of an item, person, place, or thing. Examples
would be Mickey Mouse, Michael Jordan, Kleenex, and Xerox. Often times
people say can you Xerox this for me ? What they are actually saying is can
you photocopy this for me ? Branding is turning a particular item into the
item. Author branding is the idea of creating a brand for an individual
instead of a book. When someone says, Stephen King, they know his type of
writing, along with a popular book by him. This goes for other authors such as
John Grisham, Stephen Cubby, etc. Author branding is making the author popular,
not the book.

Book ~ Printing
Book printing is the process of creating your text files. Below is a list of
printing houses that are known to give you the best value. Book printing is a
very wide range and competitive field. Please be aware that often times people
go to POD printers. Under the POD we will have an asterisk next to it that
says POD. POD are a bit more expensive, but you do not need to order 1,3,5, or
10,000 books at a time. Book printing is a very large and competitive field.
Please make sure you get at least 5 different quotes on your book.
