I hope everyone had a great holiday season. We had a lot of fun, but also spent a lot of time doing business and marketing planning. In the process, we thought a lot about what worked and didn't work in 2009.
Upon reflection, I realized that the people I most enjoyed working with all have one thing in common: they love books. And going to publishing conferences is fun because everyone there actually reads. It seems insane to me, but not everyone who wants to create a book actually reads books.
Obviously, I do not have that problem. I read a lot. In fact, I have a big pile of books that I’m getting ready to donate to our local library.
This week's article answers a question I see a lot in publishing forums: how hard is it to lay out your own book?
Enjoy!
