"I’m Bobbi Linkemer on behalf of expertvillage.com, and I’d like to invite you to visit my website at writeanonfictionbook.com. It’s self-published and it’s beautiful. I would like to take credit for some of these. This was an early student; this was a student. I part of the early process, I can’t take all the credit I’d like to take, but I was at least there. This is a custom cover; she had an artist do this. She had a designer for the cover; she had a designer for the inside, which was very nicely done. She had an artist for the inside; these little elements over here are all done especially for the inside. She had posters made and she had post cards made, and that was part of the marketing effort. I don’t think this book ever went into a bookstore. When we talk about promoting your book, there are lots of ways to non-traditionally sell your book other than putting it in a bookstore where it will have a pretty short life. If it doesn’t sale, you’ll have to take returns. If you self-publish, than there are a lot of reasons to think of gift shops and all the other suggestions that I made about ways to promote your book, but this is really beautiful."
