The world of publishing is changing, and you've already begun to realize it. While there are still the same authors on the same tables at your local bookstore, there are other names that are showing up online and in your email inbox. But how are they getting attention if they're not doing publishing 'the way it's always been done'? For a thought leader like you, you already have bigger ideas about how the world should, rather, how the world COULD work to support the cutting edge thoughts you want to share. You're not interested in simply doing the same old things because you're not interested in the same old results. In the past year, you've noticed how social media has changed the way we interact and the way we share information. You've seen Facebook turn into a sort of gathering place and Twitter become the first place where thoughts are born. But you want to publish. You want to take your ideas a step further and you're not interested in spending a lot of money or sending out hundreds of proposals. "Lead Me to Success in Publishing: 101 Ways" is the book for you. Bestselling author Melissa G. Wilson and literary agent and author Jon Malysiak help set you on your path to bestseller status with these 101 publishing tips that break down the ever-changing world of publishing, and get you thinking about not only writing your book but-just, if not more, importantly-how to market and promote your book once it's published. You may not hit the bestseller lists right away, but with "Lead Me to Success in Publishing," you will be well on your way. Welcome to 2012. This is YOUR year of success.

Then your way of networking is … dead. With social networks, teleconferencing, and webinars, you are able to meet more people in more ways than ever before. But that doesn't mean you're creating new possibilities through valuable connections. Networking Is Dead offers a new approach to fundamental networking misconceptions.

It shows an effective process that lets you: • Deepen existing relationships and make meaningful new ones • Connect across your own company to strengthen your business • Find people with similar values to embark on mutually beneficial opportunities • Leverage your connections instead of being overwhelmed by them Networking Is Dead is an engaging story that provides easy-to-implement tips at the end of each chapter. This powerful combination of story and time-tested action steps provides a comprehensive roadmap to achieve even your toughest goals. Networking is dead, but making connections that matter will bring new possibilities to life for you and your organization.
