GET A BOOK DEAL WITH A PUBLISHER
There’s the book you want to write and the book a publisher – and readers – will buy: Are they the same book?

Literary agents receive 1500+ manuscripts a month. Publishers receive 10,000+ manuscripts a year. If you want to get a publishing deal and more readers, you’ve got to know what publishers (and readers) buy and how to make your book stand out from the pack.

Publishing coach, Randy Peyser, pitches books to agents and publishers after her company edits or ghostwrites them through her company, Author One Stop, Inc.
(www.AuthorOneStop.com)

Randy will tell you exactly what you need to know to get an agent or publisher to offer you a contract.

You will find out:
 What topics are hot and what’s not.
 The most essential sales tool you need in order to sell a manuscript to a publisher.
 The quickest way to get an agent or publisher to stop in their tracks.
 The 1 thing to absolutely not do if you are serious about getting a publishing contract.
 How to get cover endorsements when you don’t know anybody who’s famous.
 The biggest mistakes authors make.
 The things you absolutely must do to make your book stand out.
 Details about your writing that publishers always look for.
 The biggest questions publishers ask before they make a buying decision.
 How to title your book to maximize your sales potential
 The pros and cons of traditional publishing versus self-publishing
 Converting a book to a screenplay that actually gets considered
