Mentor U™
Authors who are coached in the dynamics of the publishing industry accomplish more than they ever thought possible, succeed more than they ever imagined and acquire recognition beyond their expectations.
Most writers believe that if they write a good book a major publisher will pick them up and before you can count 200 pages they will be on their way to being the new Earnest Hemingway. Unfortunately it usually doesn’t work that way.
Here’s why -
Traditional publishers won’t even open unsolicited manuscripts to protect themselves from lawsuits and will usually only work through agents.
Most agents require a retainer as well as monthly payments and make no guarantees that your manuscript will be reviewed by a major publisher.
Small publishers, and there are many on the internet, will turn your manuscript into a book for a price but when you do the math you’ll discover that the average book will cost roughly $15.00 - $25.00 each. How much can you price your book at and still be competitive in the marketplace? How much will you make per book?
Then there’s the do-it-yourself method which can be very lucrative as long as you have the knowledge to avoid the pitfalls. Otherwise a couple of bad decisions and your book, your hard work, your dreams and your financial success - POOF - gone! The authors that succeed are the writers who first do their homework. For this reason the Mentor U™ podcasts were developed.
You may have attended or thought about attending a one or two day conference or seminar on publishing and though many of them are very informative, they are also very expensive and time consuming and always incomplete. Most of these conferences are hosted by publishing companies and they know that you probably won’t be able to digest the volumes of information provided in that short period of time and out of frustration will use their service to get your book done or will give up trying to get your book published. Either way they got you to pay for something that isn’t going to serve you very well.
Most writers have jobs or other commitments and it’s difficult enough to find the time to write your book, much less have time to research what you should know about publishing your book before you start. Mentor U™ podcasts were designed to give you the information you need to compete as an Authorprenuer™There is nothing else like Mentor U™.
What’s the advantage of listening to a Mentor U™ podcast? Just as a computer course teaches you how to use your computer effectively. A writers course teaches you how to write expressively. Mentor U™teaches you how to publish successfully.
Podcasts are targeted to writers at different levels, writers just starting their manuscript, writers with finished manuscripts and authors who have their books done. Look through the podcast list and choose the broadcast that will most benefit you.
The podcast format gives you the advantage of listening as often as you want, when your schedule permits, in your car, doing yard work or while you relax. And because the podcast is archived you can use it as a reference whenever you have a concern or need an answer. But it doesn’t stop there. Mentor U™ podcasts are an intrgral part of King Author’s Court. When you purchase a podcast you automatically become a member of King Author’s Court and will be notified by e-mail of live teleconferences and other events that will give you the opportunity to collaborate with the King’s Team™ and other author members.
How It Works -
For about $6.00, download any Podcast of your choice then listen to the broadcast at your convenience. Podcasts will be approx 30 minutes long and contain both information and motivation. We suggest that you archive the podcast keeping the broadcast available for review. You will receive the most benefit from a podcast by listening more than once. New podcasts will continually become available.
You do not need an iPod or MP3 player to listen to Mentor U™. Podcasts will default to the media player on your computer. Once downloaded a podcast can be listened to through your computer, however the convenience of the podcast is multiplied if you have an iPod or MP3 player, which allows you to listen anywhere, anytime.
How much is a podcast -
While conferences, seminars and consults can cost from $200 to $2000 or more, we wanted to make sure every writer who wants to become a published author would be able to afford this information so we offer most pod casts for $6.00 each. We hope this keeps your cost at a minimum and your success at the maximum.
