Chapter Spotlight
More than 20,000 book buyers, rights buyers, media people and others attended BookExpo at the Javits Center in New York City recently. Many APSS members had their books on display there (photo at left) using their membership discount. We provide our members with a significant discount to display their books at local, national and international shows, such as ALA, London and Frankfurt. See all at http://tinyurl.com/b8tk5t5
Special-Sales Tip of the Day – June 27, 2017
Just do something. When one author was asked how to be creative, he replied, "It’s simple, you just take something and do something to it. Then you do something else to it. Pretty soon you’ve got something."
Quick Pick of the Week
The book-marketing process does not start when your first books are delivered. There are many marketing actions you can take before your book is published. APSS created a timeline to help you plan them: www.bookapss.org/PrePubTimeLine.pdf There are also virtually unlimited combinations of book-marketing actions you can take after your book is published. Here is a checklist you can use to get started: www.bookapss.org/PostLaunchChecklist.pdf

You Said It
“I think everyone did a very good job in presenting the information at the APSS workshop. I was impressed with the amount of new information about the publishing business of which I had previously no clue. I was able to follow everything, and it made sense to me.” Eleanor Jones
They Said It
“It sometimes seems like entrepreneurs are a breed apart. All of us are born with the ability to take risks, think creatively and challenge the everyday way of doing thing.” Stephen Hicks
