Publishing Your Print Book – An Interview with Linda Horowitz, Professional Author’s Assistant

February 17, 2008 By Linda Dessau

Last week I had the chance to sit down with Linda Horowitz, Professional Author’s Assistant. We spoke about what she does to support authors, and some important things authors should think about.

Here are three key points I took away:

1. If you’re aiming to publish your book in print format, the book should be at least 25,000 words long (approximately 100 pages, if you’re working with a 12-point font and about 250 words-per-page).

2. If you’re using quotes in your book, it is your responsibility as the author to make sure you have permission to publish them. Linda has a system for contacting and following up with the appropriate people and/or organizations.

3. There are a lot of jobs that need to be done in publishing your book – whether you’re preparing to submit it to a traditional publisher or whether you plan to self-publish. Linda suggests you focus on writing and let her take care of the rest!

Are you on Ezine Articles yet?

May 19, 2007 By Linda Dessau

I’ve been a Platinum expert author at Ezine Articles since March 2005. In that time, my articles have generated a combined total of over 100,000 page views. It also led to more website traffic and newsletter subscribers.

I interviewed Chris Knight [update December 8, 2012 – this interview is no longer available], the owner of Ezine Articles, to find out more about what makes this site such a useful tool for business owners. He also has a list of benefits on the site.

When I “Google” my own name, I also get to see just how far and wide my ideas have spread. My articles have been reprinted on countless other websites and in other newsletters (both print and online).

I also created a “Google Alert” for my own name, so I can see when my articles are published in new places.

Submit your first article to Ezine Articles now. If you’ve done that, great! Make sure to keep up with it. You won’t be promoted to Platinum Author status until 10 of your articles have been accepted.
