Hello, Everyone,
I have exciting news. Today I registered my own publishing company – GraceArt Publishing. I thank my dear mastermind buddies who have encouraged me these past two years to re-invent myself again. Thank you, author Luisa Adams, for coming up with “GraceArt.” Thank you, plot consultant, author & publisher Martha Alderson, for trail-blazing.
I’m proud to be a publisher. I can better support bookstores, booksellers, schools, libraries, and the entire book community now.
Since January 2010 I have been updating my 22-minutes for 22 days workbook to help authors build their names/platforms to attract agents, acquisition editors and publishers. Printing and shipping my workbook have been time-consuming and costly. After reading The Step-by-Step Guide to Self-Publishing for Profit! Start a Own Home-Based Publishing Company and Publish Your Non-Fiction Book with CreateSpace and Amazon, I have decided to use the CreateSpace program for my workbook.
Now I am not only the author but also the publisher and owner of the ISBN (the book’s I.D. number); Amazon will print-on-demand, produce the e-book version of my workbook, distribute, and fulfill orders. As the publisher, I will continue to promote my book; also I can update it as often as I want.
So, I have changed the title of my workbook from Build Your Name, Beat the Game: Be Happily Published to: Build My Writer’s Name and Platform: Attract Agents, Acquisition Editors, Publishers, Readers, and Media Attention. I like “Build Your Name, Beat the Game ” though (love the rhyme–thank you Elisa Southard); I can use it as my workshop title.
May the force be with you, Writers & Publishers!
Sincerely,
Teresa LeYung Ryan
