Publishize, by Susan C. Daffron, Wins an APEX 2009 Award of Excellence

Press Release: Publishize Wins APEX Award

 

Publishize, by Susan C. Daffron, Wins an APEX 2009 Award of Excellence

Book Named Winner in Writing and Ebooks Category

SANDPOINT, Idaho –Publishize: How to Quickly and Affordably Self-Publish a Book That Promotes Your Expertise by Susan C. Daffron has been awarded the APEX 2009 Award of Excellence in the Books and Ebooks category. APEX 2009 Awards for Publication Excellence is an international competition that recognizes outstanding publications from newsletters and magazines to annual reports, brochures, books, and Web sites.

According to the APEX 2009 judges, “The awards were based on excellence in graphic design, quality of editorial content and the success of the entry in conveying the message and achieving overall communications effectiveness.”

In Publishize, author Susan Daffron describes a new approach to self-publishing, which eliminates many of expensive pitfalls new publishers encounter. Using the Publishize approach, books are printed only when they are ordered, avoiding an expensive print run and the stereotypical “garage full of books” gathering dust. Publishize also clearly explains the often misleading and confusing terms surrounding print-on-demand printing and “self-publishing companies.”

In Publishize, Daffron suggests that self-publishers “forget about bookstores” and take advantage of cost-effective online approaches to book marketing. With a unique background in both publishing and Web development, Daffron has experimented with virtually all the methods described in marketing her other eight self-published books.

About Publishize

Publishize is already an award-winning book. In May 2009, Publishize was recognized as one of the top independently published books of 2009 when it was named the winner in the Writing and Publishing category and a finalist in How-To category of the Indie Book Awards.

Widely praised by publishing experts, the book was selected by the National Association of Women Writers (NAWW) to be used as a benefit that is mailed to new and renewing members of the organization throughout 2009.

Publishize is also being used as a sample by a major print-on-demand printer. The book is mailed out to prospective self-publishers and available at industry trade shows as an example of the company’s short-run print-on-demand printing capabilities.

Publishize is $24.95 and available through most major online booksellers and the book Web site at Publishize.com. At the site, visitors also can receive the complimentary Publishize newsletter, which offers self-publishing tips and advice.

Press Release: Publishize Wins Book Award

 

Publishize, by Susan C. Daffron, Recognized as One of the Top Independently Published Books of 2009

Book Named Winner in Writing and Publishing Category and Finalist in How-To Category of Indie Book Awards

SANDPOINT, Idaho –According to the Books in Print database, in 2008 the number of book titles printed on demand rose 132% to 285,394. Although publishing purists may scorn, on-demand printing is clearly here to stay. More proof that the printing method no longer matters is that a new book by Susan C. Daffron called Publishize: How to Quickly and Affordably Self-Publish a Book That Promotes Your Expertise (ISBN: 978-0-9749245-8-8), which is printed on-demand was named the Winner in the Writing and Publishing category of the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards

In Publishize, author Susan Daffron describes a new approach to self-publishing, which eliminates many of expensive pitfalls new publishers encounter. Using the Publishize approach, books are printed only when they are ordered, avoiding an expensive print run and the stereotypical “garage full of books” gathering dust. Publishize also clearly explains the often misleading and confusing terms surrounding print-on-demand printing and “self-publishing companies.”

In Publishize, Daffron suggests that self-publishers “forget about bookstores” and take advantage of cost-effective online approaches to book marketing. With a unique background in both publishing and Web development, Daffron has experimented with virtually all the methods described in marketing her other eight self-published books.

Daffron says, “For years, publishing has been a risky business with a high cost of entry. Using our approach self-publishers can experiment with marketing tactics and learn what works without the risk of going broke because of archaic returns policies, distribution, and inventory storage costs.”

In addition to being named the winner in the Writing and Publishing category, Publishize was also named a finalist in the How To category. Widely praised by publishing experts, the book also was selected by the National Association of Women Writers to be used as a benefit that is mailed to new and renewing members of the organization throughout 2009.

Publishize is also being used as a sample by a major print-on-demand printer. The book is mailed out to prospective self-publishers and available at industry trade shows as an example of the company’s short-run print-on-demand printing capabilities.

Logical Expressions President Susan Daffron says, “Okay, we’ll be honest here: all of us are total trekkies and when we realized the acronym for the Self-Publishers Online Conference (SPOC) would pay slight homage to our favorite Vulcan, we were thrilled. After all, “logical” is part of our company name. On a more serious note, we also realize that a lot of self-publishers simply can’t afford the time or expense to go to an in-person event. We’ve brought together an amazing line-up of experts, so people can learn about publishing right from the comfort of their home or office.”

Self-Publishers Online Conference Takes New Virtual Expo Approach

April 1, 2009 By Logical Expressions Staff

Press Release: Self-Publishers Online Conference

 

Self-Publishers Online Conference Takes New “Virtual Expo” Approach

Online Conference to Be Held May 13, 14, 15, 2009

SANDPOINT, Idaho – With big book publishing houses laying off and cutting back, more people are interested in self-publishing books. Yet because of the economy, fewer people are willing to travel to book industry conferences to learn about publishing. These trends led organizers to create the first virtual self-publishing conference. Connecting entrepreneurial authors with self-publishing resources, the Self-Publishers Online Conference will be held on May 13, 14, 15, 2009.

Because of travel and lodging costs, many aspiring self-publishers are not able to attend big publishing shows in New York City or Los Angeles. SPOC 2009 is a virtual conference which means attendees can attend from the comfort of their own home.

Aspiring authors and self-publishers can attend SPOC when they have time in their schedule. At their convenience, they can wander the virtual exhibit hall, take part in informative teleseminars, and discover helpful information about writing and publishing books.

Logical Expressions President Susan Daffron says, “The Self-Publishers Online Conference is the next best thing to being at a live conference, except without the sore feet and aching back from lugging around brochures and other conference materials all day. Our line-up of speakers is phenomenal. Almost every author of every self-publishing book I own will be at SPOC, plus other amazing experts that have successfully self-published books and developed a platform around them.”

SPOC 2009 will feature a total of 15 expert speakers over the three-day event. The experts will discuss a wide range of book publishing and promotion topics. Although speakers are still being confirmed and the line-up is not final, publishing experts Dan Poynter, Shel Horowitz, Brian Jud and Sandra Beckwith have agreed to speak.
