Author-Publisher Roundtable

Have you ever considered writing and/or publishing a book?

Are you already published and looking for some ideas on how to sell more copies of your book?

If so this gathering is for you. Aspiring and Published authors will meet at the Mosaic Coffeehouse from 11AM to 2PM to network and learn from each others experience.

Individual introductions will start promptly at 11AM. Each attendee will have the opportunity to Shamelessly Brag about themselves while your host is sharing Biznik Networking Tips.

We take a short lunch break at 12:30 with more networking.

After lunch, at 1:00PM sharp we gather for our guest speakers to share with us the secrets of selling more of our books and services.

Our guest speakers this month are:

• Best Selling Author, Patrick Snow. He will speak about: "The Entrepreneur's Sales Success System".

• Expert Sales Trainer, Howard Howell who will speak about: "Creating the brand of YOU".

Save a little time in your schedule after 2:00PM for small gatherings at the Mosaic CoffeeHouse. It is a great opportunity to become better friends with your associates.

  I wouldn't miss it for the world. This time I'll be bringing copies of my latest book, Get Into Print: The Art and Practice of Self-Publishing. I hope I can encourage other writers to get their ideas out there!

  Dang--I could have sworn I saw a different date on this when I hit the RSVP button. Unfortunately, this is the week after I'm in town. Boo hoo. I loved this event! All you Seattleites (Seattleans? Seattlers?) should go. Big fun, good info.

  Since publishing my book, I've been constantly looking for opportunities to promote it. After reading Jennifer's note should I bring copies? Thats right you did say there would be time for "shameless" promotion. Actually, I'll be happy to be there to perhaps learn something new. I'm am always open to new ideas! ... Allan

  Allan... Shameless self-promotion requires that you always have some copies of your book with you. Look forward to meeting you. ...Howard

  This event keeps me focused on finishing my chapters of my business book. I have not missed this event in the last 8 months. I schedule my month around these 3 hours each month. Great information and high energy make up this time together. Howard is a master for keeping everything on track. I will give another copy of my first book away. "Freedom From Work" for some lucky workaholic. See you all there.

  Howard,

  I have encountered vehicle problems. Will have to drop it off at the shop. Will either be late or not attend depending on how long it takes.

  Hi Howard,

  I wanted to let you know that I'll probably be a bit late. I'm trying to fit lots of wonderful things in my day and it may take a bit of juggling.

  I'm looking forward to seeing you and being there.

  Whew! I am SO glad I made it today. What an event. Incredible sharing and outstanding content from Howard and Patrick. I will be engaging all of my new contacts in my Biznik experience. Time to finish the book I am carrying around inside me.

  Again Howard and Patrick delivered a fantastic event, Thanks for putting these on Howard by far my faviorite events that I have been to through biznik. I am bummed I will not be able to attend the next one, as I will be down in Arizona for that week. But I will enjoy the sunshine and think of all you washingtonians why I am down there. Have a great thanksgiving holiday.

  For me this was not only a great event for me to attend as a first Biznik event, but it was an important event for me. It was an opportunity to meet some great people, to connect with an old friend (Jack Fecker), and to learn from you and Patrick Snow that marketing my book is going to take time, real work and dedication on my part. Okay, I wasn't too thrilled to learn that last part, but it truly did put things in perspective.

  Thanks again, Allan Hay
