Bob Baker's Book Promotion Blog
Will I See You at Publishing University Next Month?
The traditional book publishing business is crumbling -- right along with the global economy. But the news is not all doom and gloom -- not by a long shot.
We live in an incredible era where average people can enter the marketplace with their self-produced music, films and books ... and reach a worldwide audience.
The industry Gatekeepers of old have lost touch with the changing times and lost power in the process.
And that's good news for you!
That's why I've been such a proponent of taking the indie, DIY path in all creative fields for many years.
That's also why I'm a member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (formerly PMA). They are the primary organization leading the charge for indie authors and publishers.
This year I'll be speaking for the third time at their annual conference, called Publishing University.
If you've never attended, here's what you can expect:
Three days filled with more than 50 class on marketing, sales, publicity, finance, legal, editorial, printing, design, and more.
This year I'm organizing two classes:
"Octopus Marketing: The Multiple Tentacles Approach to Creating Book Buzz Online." Joining me will be Deltina Hay of Dalton Publishing and Maggie Lichtenberg of Open Heart Publishing.
"Book Trailers and Beyond: How to Use Online Video to Boost Your Book Sales." I'll present with Steve O'Keefe of Patron Saint Productions and Rocky Lang of BookstoFilm.TV.
Publishing University takes place May 26-29, 2009, in New York City at the Roosevelt Hotel.

If you attend, be sure to find me and say hello. It would be great to meet you in person!

We'll see you there, Bob! We're also presenting for the third time, but have vendor space for the first time. I'm hoping to take both of your classes 'cause I want to siphon all of the marketing knowledge out of that brain of yours! ;) See ya there.
