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 how to get media trained for Radio, TV, and Print.

• Entrepreneurial Sales Trainer, Howard Howell. He will speak about how to overcome insurmountable challenges in your quest to become a best-selling author.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGE IN PLANS - Because of the big Seattle Snow Storm of today we decided to meet on a tele-call. Those attending are listed below. Please let me know if you were on the call and I missed you. Thank You. ...Howard

  Howard, can I add a guest who is a non-Biznik member? Attending your session just may convince her to join.... :)

  Rachel... Try to get her to join prior and if she doesn't bring her anyway, and we will convince her how great Biznik is. ...Howard

  Somebody needs to volunteer to stay home! I want to attend this roundtable too. I'm new, I didn't know that I should have come straight home from the last roundtable and signed up immediately. That'll teach me. Howard, if anyone drops, let me know. Or, let me know how far down on the waiting list I am.

  This was a great event in November and I've been looking forward to this months gathering as well. Keep me posted, Please!

  Have to cancel for this month's roundtable - hope someone else can jump right in. I'm going to be signing my new book Images of America: Frederick & Nelson at an F&N Reminiscence Tea at Chateau Retirement Community! Happy Holidays to all if I don't see you at the big Biznik party tonight!!

  I will try my very best to attend, Howard...but will be anxiously looking skyward for more snowfall....it's icy up here!

  Barring that, I look forward to this!

  That's my vote.

  I'll still be there, Howard, along with my Biznik-checkin'-out guest. Stay away for one more day, snow!

  Argh, the snow is going to keep me in West Seattle today... It's pretty hard to get in and out of this place when the weather gets bad. So sorry to miss it! You know I'll be there next month.

  Stay safe, everyone, and have a happy holiday!!

  Where there is a will there is a way.

  I would have made it if the event had stayed on the calendar.

  But then, that's just the way I roll. Must be all that Landmark seminar "being unreasonable in order to maintain my integrity" stuff.

  Looking forward to the next one, Mr How.

  SNOW BULLETIN!!! I don't think anyone wants to be on the roads in Seattle this morning. Don't cancel your RSVP yet... so I can send you a note.

  Maybe we can put together a tele-conference with those that want to meet on the phone today. Thanks. ...Howard

  Tele-conference sounds perfect. I really hate to miss this and your solution sounds perfect. Howard, leave it to you to come up with this great solution. Let me know if I can help. I regularly tele-conference with clients around the world.

  NOTICE FOR ALL THOSE NOT SNOWED-IN

  It was suggested that if you are not snowed in that you can gather at the Mosaic and call in on your speaker phones to our tele-conference. If you do so please keep your RSVP in force and we will talk to you this afternoon.

  I adore all the creative problem solving.

  And I adore this event, but I think I'll be skipping out today, on both the tele option and the Mosaic option.

  Hmm. Perhaps you'll be recording the call and making it a podcast?

  Thank you for being proactive, Howard. This beautiful white stuff is rather inconvenient.
  But, I'm still pro-snow....Patrick, that is!

  While you're snowed in, maybe you can do a web search for another local presenter to join you... Say, one by the name of Sonny/Sunny? ;)

  See you at the next one in January!

  Enjoy & Stay warm, Kimberly

  Ah darn it. I called in late and the machine voice said, "You are the first one on the call." It put me on hold and then, incessantly, continued to play music. I wonder if I had the wrong number.

  Blessings y'all and see you soon.

  incredible class, Howard and Patrick! I am so glad to have had the chance to tune in and learn...and it was painless, easy and no skid marks in the snow!

  Howard: Your story is compelling and honest.... What I would call a role model story.

  Thanks for a lot to think and act on. both of you!

  The PAJAMA game worked!! that's all I wore to the monthly Round Table....as Howard and Patrick "shoveled" their way into my living room via a tela-conference call! Not only was I "MEDIA-TRAINED" during the call.....I participated in the Q and A session that followed. Let's hear it for creative options....Jeffry W.
