Writing Mentors “Make” Names and Sell Tons of Books
Writing Mentors pull writers out of the crowd and make
them stand out. Their names become recognized and
they sell books. They are taught by courses, lectures, consultation,
teleseminars, home phone calls, writing assignments, and book
sale campaigns. Mentors meet the writer’s needs.
The writer may need someone to address why
he or she can’t get started, or can’t find the time
to write. A seasoned author may have lost the
spark that makes for compelling writing. Mentors know
how to get him or her out of the dilemma.
Writing mentors are more holistic in their approach
to helping the writer out. There are writing teachers
who teach what the masters have taught them, but they
might not meet the needs of the writer sitting in front of them.
Book coaches guide writers through books by giving the
writer someone to answer to. Most have never written a
prize-winning, or best-selling book, which isn’t much help
when technique is needed. Theory will not get the book written.
On the other hand, a writing mentor analyzes the
Writer’s abilities and lays out a plan of success. That plan
considers the following needs:
1) Finding time to write
2) How to stop thinking about writing and write, according
to the circumstances
3) Guiding the writer to make money in the fastest time
with short nonfiction books.
4) Writing your dream novel in three easy steps
5) How to write the gripping opening, can’t put it down middle,
and an ending that is logically the bombshell it should be.
6) How to edit and layout your manuscript so you’ll look like
a serious writer who has studied the market, and not an amateur
7) Help in deciding on self-publishing or going mainstream
8) If you’re going to self publish, which printer is best to earn
the highest return on the sale of each book
9) If you’re going mainstream, which agents to contact
10) What publishing industry’s addresses and instructions
you’ll need to register your book before it comes out
11) One almost invisible tool to sell truckloads of your books
quietly, for almost no money.
13) Have a book campaign that sells tons of books
14) One place to hang out with writers who are serious about
a writing profession
15) One place to hang out with writers that keeps you updated
on the latest marketing tools and writing trends.
16) The best writing conferences
17) Writing contests that matter
18) Learn how an autoresponder can sell thousands of books in days
19) How to build support for your book on one writing site built
for that purpose
Writing Mentors create a successful writing life or any writer
that is serious about his or her writing career. They consider all aspects
of the writer’s life. Their package comes in different parts, but all are
geared to the future success.
