A special message for new authors from John & Marcia Perkins

The traditional book publisher was once the only way most writers had to publish their book. However there were many great writers like Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin and Upton Sinclair who, in spite of conventional thought and process, defied tradition and got their start by self-publishing. And by self-publishing they beat the odds and became successful and famous authors, proving once again, that forward, creative

Today the typical formula for an author’s success has changed. Today’s author is no longer dependent on a conventional publishing company to publish their book. The new revolution in publishing has proven to be very effective and revolves around self publishing using computers, desk top publishing for book creation and the internet and radio interviews for marketing. This allows the author, YOU, to keep control of your book and keep the lions share of the profits for life and even pass them on to your heirs.

Books now come in a variety of formats, paper, electronic, audio CDs and audio podcasts. The internet holds the promise of huge and instant success. However this new paradigm has a new impediment to success, greater competition. There are now more authors with more books competing for the same markets. So once again the winners will be the creative, forward thinkers, the visionaries who are ahead of their time who have the knowledge of HOW to succeed. And the best way to get all the benefits of the best creative, innovative and forward thinking is to be a member of King Author’s Court by participating in the MentorU™ podcasts.

How do we know? We started by publishing our own children’s books 30 years ago and before the Harry Potter series, we held the record for the most children’s books ever sold in a single year. We also founded Perky & Me, a promotional agency to promote our books world wide. Then we developed the ProMotion Publishing Revolution.

What was the ProMotion Publising Revolution? During the past 30 years we continually recognized the need to evolve with and often, lead the industry. Do you know why the A&P Grocery stores no longer exist? Because their philosophy was “This is the way we’ve always done it and there is no need to change.” But their competitors said, “How can we do things better?” Then they developed the supermarket that is still evolving even today. Our world moves at a faster pace than ever and to be a survivor you need to constantly adapt.

Traditional publishing companies are feeling the change, but too often are not changing. They are too highly invested in the old ways. Some are merging and developing new divisions because they are trying to survive. We decided to go past survive and reach for THRIVE, look past what was and look ahead to what’s going to BE. To accomplish this we had to “think forward.” We changed the publishing industry with the ProMotion Publishing Revolution and now we’re doing it again with our NEW publishing revolution, King Author’s Court.
