MidAtlantic Book Publishers Association

Hey, fellow MBPA-ers! I'm making a limited-time offer to you, my publishing colleagues, of some files I've created to help authors become better marketing partners with their publishers. I recently gave two separate presentations on these topics at the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group's annual conference, The Write Stuff. I gave these files to all attendees, and they were VERY well received, to say the least.

I would be more than happy to share these files with you, at no charge, to modify for your own use or that of your authors, as long as you don't sell the material or anything (because I'm probably going to write a book about this topic at some point, and will want to retain all rights to the material).

But if you just want to use these proven-effective resources (I used them to take my first book, which wasn't even expected to earn out, into three respectable printings), send me a post [admin AT wordforgebooks.com -- sorry no link, but you know the deal with auto harvesters] and let me know which group of files you'd like, fiction or nonfiction, and I'll send them to you. Consider it my way of saying thanks for MBPA granting me the PMA-U scholarship this year!

Offer stands until the end of 2007.
