The world of publishing is changing, and you’ve already begun to realize it. While there are still the same authors on the same tables at your local bookstore, there are other names that are showing up online and in your email inbox. But how are they getting attention if they’re not doing publishing ‘the way it’s always been done’?

For a thought leader like you, you already have bigger ideas about how the world should, rather, how the world COULD work to support the cutting edge thoughts you want to share. You’re not interested in simply doing the same old things because you’re not interested in the same old results.

In the past year, you’ve noticed how social media has changed the way we interact and the way we share information. You’ve seen Facebook turn into a sort of gathering place and Twitter become the first place where thoughts are born. But you want to publish. You want to take your ideas a step further and you’re not interested in spending a lot of money or sending out hundreds of proposals. "Lead Me to Success in Publishing: 101 Ways" is the book for you.

I’ve just finished reading, and then re-reading Melissa Wilson’s book on publishing. The key word in her title that captured my attention was ‘success’. I should preface my review by stating that I am a writer, having published four books to date and I’m currently working on a sequel to my second title. If you’ve ever self-published, you know how relatively easy it is to fulfill the publishing requirements and post your book to the world. However, what you may not realize is writing and publishing the work is the easy part – at least for me that’s been the case.

I’ve been looking for help with my marketing skills, hoping someone; anyone could give me some direction to further expand my readership. Thankfully, I downloaded this insightful eBook, which I’ve already started to put into practice. I wasn’t looking for ‘how to write’ or even ‘how to publish’, but I was looking for assistance with exposure. Just how does one go about capturing the attention of millions of readers worldwide? That’s exactly what I found in the pages of this concise guide."

My Recommendation

This book was received as an ARC from BooksGoSocial in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

As an aspiring author and librarian, I have been asked what is the best way to become an upcoming author and now I have a book to recommend to our patrons. I love books that not only our patrons are interested in but I am interested in as well since I have been working on my YA book and autobiography for many years and now I can feel confident and not waste time searching for a publisher to pick up my book but learn to self-publish to do at my own time and use the social media outlets to market and advertise your book and the next stop will be The New York Times Bestseller List. 

We will consider adding this title to our Business collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Old Book, But Some Good Things to Ponder

In internet years, this is an old book, published in 2012. Self-publishing was already well established back then, and the heavy hitters in social media had been around for a few years. This book has 101 tips meant to help you be more successful in publishing. The tips are loosely grouped into various categories like blogging and social media, and these are further divided into subtopics, like making videos and connecting with readers. I would have loved to have seen better organization, as tips about social media separated various tips about writing and books. The tips are mostly short and not terribly specific. I believe they are more meant to make you aware of things you should consider than give you step-by-step instructions about what you can do to hopefully lead you to more success. Even nearly 10 years later, many tips still apply, but you will certainly see references to websites, tech, and more that just aren't relevant today. To get the most out of this book, you should have a basic sense of what publishing is like now, and it has certainly evolved from 2012. Still, this book gives you some excellent things to think about… if you haven’t already.

My Recommendation

Quite an old book with some out of date elements but a lot of the information is still good and useful. Will be implementing some of the advice when I look into publishing myself. Though I would love to read an updated version of this book in future.
