As an author with multiple books in print, Michael Sheetz understands the unique needs of new and experienced authors alike. The reality of today’s publishing world is that the majority of the promotion and marketing efforts for a project often fall on the shoulders of the author. For new authors especially, this can be a startling revelation, and one that brings with it a serious case of the jitters.
While each author chooses to attack the problems of marketing and selling his or her books in a very personal way, most would agree that the Internet and multimedia are here to stay, and that each must play a major role in book promotion if any title is going to have a chance of success. In addition, few authors realize how early marketing efforts need to start in order to have a successful book launch. If you haven’t begun your marketing efforts when you submit the proposal, you’ve lost valuable time that can translate into the difference between a successful launch and a lackluster one.
Having recently completed a successful launch and promotional tour, Michael Sheetz understands the role that multimedia plays in today’s book market, and, he is uniquely prepared to offer a number of support services for new and experienced authors looking to maximize their marketing efforts in the digital world.
