Lead In: Your first book was about “Kitchen Shortcuts.” Now you’ve done it again with a book about “Self-Publishing Shortcuts.” How does it work?

Talk Points:
1. Why are eBooks a good publication option for business, non-profit, fiction and non-fiction writers?
2. Why should unpublished authors act now?
3. Why should you write your book with two key audiences in mind, and who are they?
4. How does the use of templates save you time and money?
5. Is writing a book for eBook publication different from writing a paperback book?
6. What is 2.0 and how can it kill your book in a day? How do you prevent it?
7. You talk a lot in your book about outsourcing parts of the job. Are there specific considerations someone should use before hiring writing coaches, editors, graphic artists and formatters who can help get your book publication-ready?

*Remember December 25, 2009, when Amazon.com sold more eBooks than traditional books? Handhelds are growing in popularity because they provide the extra advantages of: 1) an online dictionary, 2) enough memory space for up to 1,000 books at a time, and 3) a “read-to-me” feature.
