The book publishing industry is in such upheaval these days that many authors, even those who have been very successful with traditional publishing, are searching for useful, relevant information to help them move more books.

One of the first questions that publishers will ask an aspiring author is “how big is your platform?” followed quickly by “what is the marketing plan for your book?”

People who want to self-publish face a similar quandary: how can you get your message, and your books, into the hands of interested readers?

For the last three years, I have been working with Tim Grahl, CEO of Out:think Group, who specializes in helping authors sell more books, as well as related products to drive revenue, including courses, workshops and speaking engagements. He and his team have been the main reason I have been able to increase my offerings, grow my mailing list and double my revenue.
