| Thu 19 Oct | St Julians Sevenoaks | | "This book means business" with Alison Jones You already know that publishing a book would be rocket-fuel for your personal brand, bring you new clients, position you as the go-to person in your field, and create opportunities for speaking, consulting and more. But you have products to deliver, a content strategy to implement, leads to generate, a network to build, right? Join me to discover a new approach to both writing and publishing. I’ll teach you how to write your book as part of your business, not a side project, and make it work for you from Day 1. You’ll discover: • how to decide which book to write • how to plan and structure it effectively • why writing a book is your secret networking weapon • how to make your book the engine of your content strategy as you write it • clever ways to build the buzz about your book before you’ve even finished writing it • brilliant ideas for linking your book with your business, online and off • what your publishing options are and how to decide what’s best for you. Alison Jones is a publisher, author and speaker, and host of The Extraordinary Business Book Cub podcast. After a 23-year career in trade and scholarly publishing working with major publishers such as Oxford University Press and Macmillan, during which she pioneered digital publishing, she set up an independent publishing house, Practical Inspiration Publishing, in 2014. She works with businesses and organisations as a publishing partner and provides executive coaching, consultancy and training services to publishers. She is the author of This Book Means Business (coming 2017). |
