How to Blog a Book  

A Step-by-Step Teleseminar about Writing and Publishing Manuscripts
on the Internet One Post at a Time 

Could your blog become the next Julia & Julia? It’s possible.  

Could your blog propel you into the world of traditional publishing success or provide you with a platform from which to self-publish your books? Yes.  

Blogs provide writers with an awesome platform-building tool and a superb way to gain exposure to agents and publishers. Given the current state of traditional publishing, however, writers must also consider creatively taking their careers into their own hands and taking advantage of the technology currently available. The savvy writer, therefore, might want to use blogging as a unique way to not only write a book but publish it as well one post at a time.  

This teleseminar is geared primarily towards nonfiction writers, although fiction writers will find most of the tools offered useful also. 

(This teleseminar is offered over six consecutive weeks for one hour each week.)
