Your Obstacle: What is the process for gaining an agent and a publisher? How someone could help you: Give me some information and contacts. How you could be supportive of someone's dream: Perhaps, I can provide some consulting on web sites and graphics. What's holding you back? - How can you transform it? (example: I don't duplicate myself...TRANSFORM TO: I duplicate myself by joining with other speakers and combining our marketing efforts) I have some self-doubt.I can transform this to: I'll feel better when I know more about the process Your email address: moonwater13@hotmail.com Response: On 8-27-03, Tom Marcoux, America's Communication Coach, responds: Johanna, You can start with the book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books" to give you an idea of the basic process. Good energy to you and your book, Tom Marcoux, America's Communication Coach, http://www.TomMarcoux.com Person with a Dream: Carole Wilkenson Date of posting: 3-31-02 Your Dream: Get publisher for the book I am writing about the communication I have had with my brother after his death. Your Obstacle: What is the process for gaining an agent and a publisher? How someone could help you: Is there a software program that has a format for a book proposal?

(example: I don't duplicate myself...TRANSFORM TO: I duplicate myself by joining with other speakers and combining our marketing efforts) It would be good for me to learn how an author gets an advance for writing a book Your email address: Contact through Tom Marcoux Response: On 3-31-02, Johanna Mac Leod responds: Carole, My friends have told me that two very helpful books for your dream are The Shortest Distance Between You and a Published Book by Susan Page and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Published by Sheree Bykofsky and Jennifer Basye Sander Good luck for your dream, Johanna Response: On 4-2-02, Tom Marcoux, author of Free Yourself for Success responds: Carole, I agree that the books Johanna Mac Leod mentions are valuable. The Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents, 2002-2003: Who They Are! What They Want! And How to Win Them Over! by Jeff Herman (agent for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series) is useful. Write the Perfect Book Proposal Revised Edition by Jeff Herman and Deborah Levine Herman provides valuable insights. It is helpful for you to write a query letter (one page, identifying your book's title, unique contribution, the market, and your biography - as to how you are uniquely qualified to write this book). You can submit the query letter to agents and publishers. An agent or publisher, who is interested, will request a book proposal -- which is like a report that includes a sample chapter, outline, marketing plan -- and other details that you will discover in the books Johanna and I have mentioned. good energy to you and your book, Tom Marcoux, America's Communication Coach, http://www.TomMarcoux.com Response: On 4-02-02, Marcie Hunt, Power Life Coach responds: Hi Carole, I agree with Johanna. I have a book proposal out now, a non-fiction proposal. Susan Page is the best book to follow, and I have gone through many, many book proposal books! Also, Amy Rennert, a great agent, sometimes gives seminars through Book Passages bookstore in Larkspur. They have a web site. C.J. Hayden, at www.getclientsnow.com gives excellent tele-classes about publishing and has wonderful practical tips. Finally, it's important to go to bookfairs and any place where you can meet agents, so you get to know agents, authors, etc, who can help you. You can check online for those events. Much success!

Some ideas to assist you: a) a web site with samples and testimonials will be helpful (and I imagine that you're in the process of putting that together now) b) The power of testimonials is in having the reader see the problem the client was facing and how you solved it. For example, see Walk of Fame c) another idea: Is there a particular cause close to your heart? -- Can you do an article or newsletter work or otherwise -- to raise your visibility? I'm imagining a new client saying to you, "Oh yes, I saw your article in..." blessings to your journey, Tom Tom Marcoux, America's Communication Coach, http://www.TomSuperCoach.com Copyright 2002 The Tom Marcoux Family Ltd.
