Poynter Pitches New Self-Publishing Concept for Children's Book Market

Self-publishing guru Dan Poynter has a new idea for self publishers who want to enter the illustrated children's book market: Getting started by drafting your book in Microsoft PowerPoint.

The key is getting started and keeping your costs down in the beginning, Poynter says. The entire radio interview is available here.

Poynter is a leading authority on book marketing, promoting and distributing. He was prompted to write The Self-Publishing Manual because so many publishers wanted to know his secret to selling so many books. Other self publishing podcasts are heard weekly at noon on every Friday at www.WBJBRadio.com. Past Pod Casts have features interviews with the presidents of Author House and IUniverse and the former finance vice president of Xlibris. Listeners can subscribe to the show at either the WBJB website or through iTunes. The show is sponsored by www.SelfPublishing.com.
