"We think it is important that professionals learn from these experts who have success in various niches of the book industry," says Dr. Krakoff, of www.CustomizedNewsletters.com. "Today there is so much going on in book publishing that first time authors can get lost, or worse, spend a lot of money without getting results."

Small business owners and professionals are realizing the credibility that having authored and published a book can bring. With self-publishing, print-on-demand and electronic means, book publishing is now easy for everyone… but it’s also a lot more complicated.

All that is required to attend is registration so the telephone number can be emailed. There are no costs involved other than the long distance charges for the call. Interested parties can get more information at www.conversationswithexperts.com

The Blog to Book Project is open to enrollment and information on participation is at www.blogtobook.com.

Krakoff and Wakeman publish a companion blog at http://www.buildabetterblog.com and offer blog design and marketing services for those professionals who don’t want to set up a blog themselves (www.buildabetterblogservices.com). Between them, they have 6 blogs they post to on a regular basis covering topics from Internet marketing, blogs, ezine marketing and business book reviews.
