Submit your book

I completely agree with Joni's offer to critique books. What if you have never sent your book to us, though, but you would like us to critique the book? Go to our website (www.inktreemarketing.com) and mail us a copy with a request to have it critiqued on this blog. It will be fun. Before my book was published, a local publishing support group analyzed the draft and the results were not pretty. I thought, "How dare they say that my book doesn't look well designed and that the title is awful?" Once my common sense returned, it became apparent to me that maybe, just maybe, they were right. That's when my research began. After many hours in book stores and libraries, the light bulbs began to pop in my head. Oh, so that's how a beautiful cook book looks. It should not look like something produced by the church committee on a home computer - it should look like a professional publishing house produced it. Right - now the search for a graphic designer began. Wow!! I could not believe the transformation. I sold over 250,000 copies of "Fit to Cook - Why 'Waist' Time in the Kitchen?" It's a guarantee that the book would not have sold 250 copies in its original format. So, send us your book and let us help you turn the ugly duckling into a swan. :-)
