The Entrepreneurial Author: Surviving Tough Economic Times By Jay Conrad Levinson and David L Hancock Foreward by Rick Frishman
When I started doing promotional work, I was always given a limited budget. This meant that I had to get creative and that was one of the things that really appealed to me about promotional work. So, for a long time I was doing “guerilla” marketing – without knowing it. When I was asked to do a review for the new Jay Conrad Levinson book I was very pleased. Since David Hancock is a co-author, that made me even more interested in this book because I’ve enjoyed his entrepreneur author blog.

What Happens When a Publisher Gives Up On You
There is a new breed of publisher, favored by many non-fiction writers who want more control over their books and production of them, but also want the benefits of high quality publishing, good marketing and distribution and to work with someone who knows how to take a book through the process of publishing properly. They are called Co-operative publishers, and are highly professional, knowledgeable industry experts. However - many authors are still not understanding the roles of co-operative publishers and in some cases burning their chances of a successful outcome for their books by treating the CoP publisher as little more than a printer or graphic designer working on a brochure.
