Bestselling Author, Blogger, and Coach
Get On Your ‘Author Attitude’ and Craft a Bestseller!
Saturday, September 19, 2015 11:00 AM-1:00 PM
The California Writers Club, Sacramento Branch proudly presents Nina Amir at the Luncheon Meeting. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, book-length or shorter pieces, vital clues are coming to Sacramento in the name of Nina Amir, author of How to Blog a Book and The Author Training Manual (Writer’s Digest Books).
The average book today sells about 250 copies per year and 3,000 total. She will explain how to improve the odds by producing a business plan before you write even a word. Develop an ‘Author Attitude’, craft a marketable book idea, and evaluate your idea and yourself through an acquisitions editor’s lens.
With 17 books under her belt and as many as four on the Amazon Top 100 list at the same time, Nina Amir knows ways to sell books, land deals with major publishing houses, and create a thriving business. Her nine-step Author Training Process helps authors to determine if their book is ready for market—to be shopped to agents, publishers or readers—and how to prepare to “become” an author.
Ms. Amir, who in addition to writing books is also a blogger and a coach, will talk about how to use parts of a book proposal as a process for training in both the creative and the business aspects of writing and publishing a book and creating a business plan.
