It’s time, Rick Frishman & his team at Author 101 University have arrived in Los Angeles. As always there will be a great line-up of speakers, literary agents, and publishers! Will you be there?
Here’s the last updated list of experts that’ll be there to share their wisdom:
I’d like to share with you a wonderful resource that my friend and colleague (Shelley Hitz, the Self-Publishing Coach, http://www.self-publishing-coach.com), just recently finished . . . Shelley authored the book: “Marketing Your Book on Amazon” and is currently available on Amazon Kindle.
There is a large number of authors and publishers that do not realize the importance of using Amazon’s tools and resources to market their books.
Amazon is one of the most utilized methods of creating a Bestselling book. However, a vast majority of authors (and yes, even publishers) under-utilize the full potential of Amazon’s tools and resources.

The following article from Lisa Shultz titled: “Start Marketing Your Book Even Before It Is Done” discusses this further.
It’s a great read and hope you feel worthy of sharing this with your friends and or fans:
