Welcome AuthorsAuthors, computers have revolutionized the publishing world. What does that mean to you? That means you now have more choices: Traditional Publishing, Print on Demand Publishing, or Self-Publishing. Now the Marketing of Books is on the Threshold of Major Changes.Authors having poured their intellect and emotions into their books, are no longer willing to hand over the marketing of their books to monolithic internet bookstores who demand large standard commissions merely for listing books on their website. Authors can now advertise on a large internet bookstore, yet sell the books themselves. The benefit of doing this is the buying public pays less for the book and the author receives more because there is no middleman.Genre Specific Websites is the new approach to Marketing Books. People naturally seek others with similar interests. Today’s hectic lifestyle makes it difficult to go to a specialty bookstore, but the computer is there whenever one has a few minutes. With a few keystrokes one can window shop, read reviews and visit with others about the type of books that interest them. Building a community of genre specific readers, a community who wants to buy Your Book. To purchase a book the buyer clicks to the author’s private website and buys directly from the author. Buyers are pleased with reduced costs, but also enjoy the sense of connecting with the author. This sense of belonging to a community is why genre specific websites will be the trend in years to come.
