Is there such a thing as a bad author who has a good book? Can you be a respected expert yet be a bore? What if you alienate your audience and the media? But deeper than that, can dull media appearances tarnish your reputation? I think so.
A while back I heard an interview with New [...]

In my more than 27 years of helping people write and publish books I’ve found that, despite all the big benefits of having a book, almost everybody needs help getting started with the actual writing and keeping it going until the book is done.

Tired of having to read about who just walked their dog, sent a gizmo to a friend, or raced to the bathroom? Do you want instead to focus on marketing your business, book, product, service or cause to the people who are truly prospects?
You may not think so, but Facebook is the answer. There is a critical gap in most people’s Facebook strategies — if they have a strategy at all. For entrepreneurs, authors, speakers, coaches and consultants who want to use Facebook for business, it’s not well known that fan pages can be automated and set up to be income generators. Here’s how.

I came across an interesting op-ed piece by a noted Russian columnist on the confession by Pulitzer Prize Winning Gunter Grass’ statement that he had served in the Waffen SS in 1945.
Even in this day and age, this astounding confession is disturbing especially in light of his anti-facist novel ‘The Tin Drum’. What’s just as bothersome is it is seemingly tied (as the columnist opined) to the notion that Grass made this confession at the same time his publisher is hoping for big sales with his book ‘Peeling the Onion’.

Several clients have written or called me mystified. “The books ‘Blink’ and ‘The Tipping Point’ were so fascinating, but then I heard Gladwell speak….”
