Rating:
Summary: Right on target
Review: This book is for writers, musicians, artists and others who have skills in their field but no time or experience in self-promotion. The book is loaded with ideas on how to get yourself noticed (and why you must make an effort to do so). Examples throughout the book not only help you understand the advice, but deliver proof that each tip does work.

Summary: Best way to get the word out :who you are & what you do
Review: This exciting book, written for the creative person contains unique, creative, inexpensive ways to promote yourself and your products. It helps you define what you do and how it benefits the public. It tells you how to reach the biggest possible market with the least effort and expense. Author Lee Silber shows you how to stand out from the crowd, call attention to your work, use word-of-mouth advertising and get help from important people. He reminds writers that all publishers want media=savy authors so the more they learn the better their chances of publishing. And today most published authors, no matter who publishes them, have to promote their own work to be successful. SELF-PROMOTION FOR THE CREATIVE PERSON has creative ways to use the Internet to publicize yourself and your art. It shows how to make an effective Web site. There's a step by step description of how to network and how to handle interviews. Author Silber says all we need is a dream and the passion and discipline to keep working at it. He quotes William Faukner, "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." The author points out it isn't the most talented people who succeed but the most motivated." He helps you develop the attitude that you will make it no matter what. And he gives you all the tools you need. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to succeed at anything.
