Our 41st Year

Desk Dear Friends, The times are changing. Hopefully, this pandemic will soon be in the rear view mirror. We’ve gotten our vaccines already and hope to resume some normal activities, including eating out and getting together with friends and relatives who also have been vaccinated.

Although the U.S. is doing a good job on the vaccine front, we must help other nations protect their citizens as well. This is a world wide problem. We will free of this disease when everyone is safe.

PUBLISHER’S PROFILE

Barb Chambliss Ph.D. Author of “Women Peacemakers: What We Can Learn From Them”

In Women Peacemakers: What We Can Learn From Them, Chambliss shares the remarkable stories of this wildly diverse band of fifteen women change agents, from an Israeli soldier to an Irish nun, from an ex-princess to a Native American clan mother, from a paralyzed Olympic skier to a young Zimbabwean orphan who now directs the esteemed Future of Hope Foundation. Available as a beautifully formatted paperback, an audiobook, and an e-book.

In 3-4 hour-long interviews, Chambliss asked the women how they found their work, how they remained dedicated to it, and what kind of compensation they received for it. She asked them what role, if any, forgiveness played in their peacemaking, and what metaphors fit their peacemaking work. She asked them to paint a picture with their words about how the world would look if their idea of peace where in operation today.

Shortly after the terrorist attacks in Barbe Chambliss Ph.D. is a New York City, she compiled and psychotherapist and mediator.

Target Your Book or Product to Thousands of Bookstores, Libraries, Mail Order Firms, Online Catalogs, Educational Buyers and more at the NABE Book Showcase Exhibits • Save 90% on Trade Show Costs • Attractive Face Our Display • Professional Sales Staff • Follow Up Leads Mailed to You Here's Your Opportunity to give your book, audio/video tape or other product exposure to the book market, library field, mail order arena, media outlets, and internet book buyers at a cost you can afford. The average trade show booth now rents for $1800 and up. That doesn't include tables, carpeting, lighting, union labor, drayage service, book racks, airfare, shipping, car expenses, meals, hotel bills, etc.

You could spend more than $3500 on just one exhibit alone. By becoming a part of the NABE Book Showcase Exhibits, you can have your books on display for less than 10% of what it would cost to exhibit your books yourself.

Our NABE BOOK SHOWCASE EXHIBITS are different from any exhibiting service. Your book is displayed face-out within a special subject category, such as Health, Cooking, Children's Interest, etc. Only 50 to 100 books are displayed in each show so your book is not buried amidst thousands of titles. Then, a professional sales staff, full of enthusiasm and warmth, who also speak Spanish and French, greet potential buyers. We take time to get to know you and your book. We pass out your flyers and send you the names of all the buyers who visited us so you can follow up on potential orders.

Our NABE BOOK SHOWCASE EXHIBITS are bright, well-decorated, and colorful. We offer drawings, free gifts and giveaways to increase booth traffic. A few years ago, a publisher who had placed her book in 3 different combined exhibits in the same show, told us that after visiting the other two places, she couldn't believe all the buyers and the activity that was taking place at the NABE Booth. Authors are encouraged to make an appearance at shows if they wish. Even if you cannot attend any of the shows, you can be assured your book will be shown to all potential buyers. We are unlike any exhibiting service you have ever used. This is our 40th successful year of showcasing books, experience you can count on!

I'll do a book signing in all three stores. If that goes well, and I'm confident that it will, there is a great opportunity to expand into other Costco stores, Wal-Mart and the big box book stores. It looks like the book show exposure paid off.

Rod Collins “You and Ingrid did a superb NABE job at the California Library Association Trade Show. We appreciated how well you displayed "Grandpa Grouper, The Fish With Glasses' and steered children¹s book buyers to us. Thank you. Grandpa Grouper sold out! It pays to join NABE and I highly recommend participating in your trade show program."

Don Arends "I just received a call from a gift store in California, whose owner told me that she saw our book at the NABE Book Showcase Exhibit. She proceeded to order every book and label in our line. This one account certainly paid for our exhibit fee, and we expect much repeat business.”

Cheryl Long, Culinary Arts, Ltd. "We consider your showing of our books at the NABE Book Showcase to be a success. So far, we've received five solid wholesale contracts and are in the process of securing some large orders.”

M. Waters, Mutual Press "Al, thanks for the leads from the last trade show.

The first five I contacted remembered my book and also taking the flyer you handed out. Four out of five already ordered for their libraries. You did a great job representing my book. I am very pleased with your service."

The Top Five Mistakes Self-Published Authors Make

By William Edwards Overlooking the Importance of Editing Poorly edited books not only negatively impact the individual author, but they affect the efforts of the self-publishing community as a whole. In fiction, when readers stumble over misspellings and awkward grammar, it interrupts the experience and jolts them out of their suspended disbelief.

For non-fiction, a poorly edited book with numerous typos can cause the reader to question your credibility. It's almost impossible to edit your own work because of your familiarity with the subject matter. You need a qualified person who can find issues with story line, factual discrepancies, typos, grammar problems and other inconsistencies.

There are several levels of editing: Copyediting: Deals with typos and grammar errors Content editing: Identifies plot and character issues and other major problems Proofreading: A final read-through to polish the book and eliminate minor errors that have slipped through the process Having an Amateurish Book Cover A book cover provides the sizzle that motivates readers to consider buying your book. While you may find a great image and want to fire up Photoshop, resist the temptation. Professional graphic designers have years of schooling and experience, and they understand how to blend the elements of color, font and image together to create a compelling cover. Authors typically like to have control over every aspect of their book's development, but this often leads to placing too many distracting objects all over the cover. You may like your work, but your readers may think its crude and cringe worthy. Always budget at least $500 for a professional cover design.

Don't copy their books.

That's never a good idea.

But do use their books for inspiration, for publication style, concept delivery, and comparison. Other writers in your industry are a direct link and connection to other readers in your industry. Connect, and befriend writers who actively promote information in the industry!

They will be your best assets.

Review Their Books

Be sure your review on Amazon or Barnes and Noble includes at least a 100 words - seriously, you're a writer, you should be able to write at least 100 words about anything.

Visit Their Blogs Does this writer have a blog? Or a discussion going on Amazon? Visit their blog, add comments to blog posts, mention that you've read their books, and add to the conversation on the blogs. Ask questions.

Do you have any experience with other writers in this genre? Do you recommend other writers? Is there one thing you'd do differently now that your book is published? Find a quantifiable question and ask it.

Five Ways to Ensure a Beautiful Book Cover

By Deanna Cabinian

If you don't have the advantage of knowing someone personally there are other measures you can take to ensure a good business relationship. For example, how fast does the designer respond to your initial inquiry? Do they lay out their contract terms in a clear manner?

The great thing about self-publishing is you have complete control over the creative process. This can be overwhelming at times, but ultimately it's liberating. Below are five ways to make sure you get a stellar 4. Give your designer key debook cover for your project. tails about the book without be1. Know your book. Know ing overbearing.

5. Push your designer to create the best cover he or she can. If you think something needs tweaking don't be shy about voicing your opinion.

How to Boost the Search Engine Visibility of Your Books

By Amy Harrop Whether you plan to put your selfpublished books up for sale on your own website or on a popular book-selling platform like Kindle or Kobo, one of the most important things you can do is boost the visibility, also known as the discoverability, of your books online.

While there's no way to optimize your actual book for search engines, you can optimize the pages that your books are posted on and the links that point to those pages in order to funnel more prospective buyers and increase their exposure.

Now come back to reality for a How to Use Keywords to Optimize moment and think about the way Book Search you would use the internet to conduct the same kind of book search. If your goal is to optimize your book listings in order to get attention in Without an actual title already in the search engine result pages, it's mind, it is often very difficult to best that you start to think of keyhone in on the perfect book that words as the currency of the interfalls in line with the information you net. want.

and actually buy your book.

By giving them a taste of what you have to offer with review snippets, manuscript excerpts and by sprinkling a generous dash of your true personality throughout your blog, your prospect gets to know you and your work better which makes moving your book in their mind from a maybe to a must-have, that much easier.

Along with doing on-page optimization with specific keywords and keyword phrases, getting backlinks from relevant and related websites is another key to boosting your book's visibility in the search engine results.

As far as SEO goes, blogging can be one of the most productive activities you can do to increase the amount of natural search engine traffic that lands on your author website or on pages that feature your book titles.

The Bottom Line

This is because Google and other search engines view them as a kind of thumbs up of approval from other websites.

Earlier, we mentioned the way that the average internet user searches for the information they want to find online.

Once you've written your manuscripts, you should never allow them to get lost in the vast ocean of the World Wide Web. By harnessing the power of Search Engine Optimization, you can position your book titles and brand prominently in internet users minds, by making them highly visibly and easy to discover!

Build a special landing page for your eBook: You can have a landing page on your website that is exclusively for your eBook. It will be designed to make it extremely easy for your readers to go from there to share your information with other people. It should include a personal message from you.

That message should include a request to the people whom you are addressing to help spread the word about your eBook. Of course, that page should include a share button, which will make it very simple for your readers.

Add buttons: When it comes to promoting your eBook, social share buttons are essential for your success. This goes back to the concept of making it as easy as possible on your readers. If the buttons are right in front of them, they will be inclined to click on them and share your content with other people if they think that what you have to say is worthy.
