Intent to Sell:  Marketing the Genre Novel, by Jeffrey Marks

Due to overwhelming request, we've begun migrating our previously "available only to Booknook.biz" Resources section--over 80 links and sites helpful to the Indy Published author--to our Knowledgebase.  As part of this effort, we're adding our resources a bit at a time, focusing heavily at first on marketing tools and techniques as well as other areas (like cover designers, how to create/obtain a cover template, how to work with Twitter articles, etc.) 

Today's addition--someone well known to many of you--is Jeffrey Marks, award-winning novelist, marketing and publicity Guru, and his most recent Kindle Book, the Fourth Edition…

Booknook Success Story:  Client Tom Gates No. 1 in the iBookstore!

Happy Holidays, 2011!

The Crew at Booknook.biz wants to wish you the most joyful of Holiday Seasons in 2011.  Our book-making elves have been busy preparing books to be ready for the virtual shelves (and some print shelves!) in time for the big Christmas Rush. 

I'm taking the holidays off to enjoy family and friends, from Christmas Eve through January 3rd.  While I'm gone, Project Coordinator Leonard Lopp has the helm, running with reduced staff on reduced hours (and NO phone!), so everyone can have some well-earned time off.  If your book is in production, or entering production for January delivery,…
