Ghosts of Anthologies Past

By Sophfronia Scott

Did you miss last week’s teleseminar, “Co-Authoring Your Way to a Bestselling Book: The Secrets to Gaining All the Benefits of Being a Published Expert with Just a Fraction of the Work“? That’s okay. It was such a short week and we were all busy with the holiday weekend.

But today I’m hearing from people catching up on their email and realizing they’re missing a great opportunity because they missed that call. And, as my son Tain would say, “No worries!” Here’s the link to the recording:

The opportunity involves my latest book project, an anthology called How the Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times. I’m co-authoring this book with top entrepreneurs, all bestsellers in their own right, including the most fearless of all entrepreneurs, Donald Trump. But here’s the thing: I’m also offering the chance for 25 lucky people to join us as co-authors on the book.

This week I’ve started meeting one-on-one with the quick ones who already grabbed a good chunk of those 25 spots. I was surprised to discover that a few of them have done anthologies before and were disappointed because none of them offered the promotion that is being done for How the Fierce Handle Fear.

You see, book will benefit from a marketing campaign implemented by my team in concert with a pr campaign executed by a highly reputable agency. But one of my new co-authors told me he participated in an anthology where he was pretty much left to figure out the marketing on his own.

Another of my new co-authors was pleasantly surprised when she discovered that the book will be out and in her hands by February 1. She paid to be in an anthology nearly A YEAR ago, and has yet to see a single book! The company supposedly producing it even had the nerve to call her and try to persuade her to order more books! That’s just downright lousy.

Another of my new co-authors told me that she could tell that this book would be handled as though it were one of my solo books. She must have very good instincts, because she’s absolutely right–I feel as though this is my book that I will promote with my experience and my connections just as I would with my other projects. But this time I’m sharing the results–this book
succeeds and we all succeed. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I don’t believe in doing books just for the sake of putting together a stack of pages with a pretty cover. I’m excited that How the Fierce Handle Fear is going to help a lot of people with the excellent stories and information we’ll be assembling between its covers. This is indeed a unique project.

If it sounds like something that could benefit you by getting you prominently published now instead of later, then listen to the recording or go here right now to read more about the program: http://www.PublishingShortcut.com

We still have space in the book available, but I can’t guarantee how long we will especially since, (and I’m letting you in on a secret here) in the next few days I may be announcing yet another big name joining us in this book! I’m really excited about him, but until all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed, I’ll say no more!

In the meantime, just know this: I’m dedicated to producing a book you’ll be proud of. I would love to have you be a part of it.

Let me know if you have any questions, okay?

Take care, and I’ll talk to you soon!

Cheers,
