For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers
"Your life changes when you meet people." - Sterling Valentine
I want to encourage the authors and publishers on this Book Marketing Network to work together to help each other to sell more books. That's the main reason I created this network in the first place.
There are so many ways that you can help each other. For example, I wrote an article on 30 Ways to Help a Book Author You Love - http://www.bookmarket.com/loveawriter.htm. Most of those ways apply not only to your friends but also to authors helping each other.
In addition, you can do joint ventures, Amazon Bestseller Campaigns, blog tours, and more.
Please use this forum right here to list your requests for partners as well as your responses or offers to help other authors.
You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish if you work together rather than alone.
For example, I'd love to see a fiction writers co-op promotion where each novelist promotes the other members in the co-op on their blog or website or social network. Tweet about each other. Like each others' Facebook page. Do joint blog tours.
Poets can do the same thing. So can business book authors. Spiritual authors. Christian authors. Cookbook authors. Etc.

Theresa, I got it, I've been SWAMPED sorry! :) I'll be in touch soon.
And yes, Amazon can do that because they're the publisher.
All you get to set is the initial price, not the discount.

Success! Last night Pavarti Devi and I launched our author co-op site: www.escapistpress.com
Right now we're small and mighty, but we're gathering friends in a link exchange program. Visit the site and click into the "friends of escapistpress" menu to get a sense of what other authors have submitted. If you're interested in a link exchange w/escapistpress, contact me: david@davidbeem.com
We're super excited to utilize some of the ideas we've found floating around in this forum and elsewhere. Now let's cross our fingers and hope we've set the foundation for promotional success.

Hi John,
I have an article I think may be perfect for FoxandQuill. How do I submit?
David
Just email me with the attached info, pics, etc. My email address is johnwolf.lobo@gmail.com.
What I need is the article, a picture of you, a short bio, and if a book, the picture of the cover. You can add to that anything you wish. 500 words is a short page, 1000 words is a big page. Anything beyond that better be really compelling or people won't read it. Pictures are great. I Photoshop them to fit so size isn't an issue if it will fit into the email. If you have a promo that explains how and why you wrote the book, etc. I can break it into two pages on the issue.
Let me know what you want to do.
Jack
Terrific. Just emailed you! Thanks! Let me know if you need more, and if it looks like a good submission for FoxandQuill.
Thanks again,
David
