Nice Testimonial by one of our authors

We noticed a nice mention on one of our author's blogs. The author talks about the process of getting his book published with BCDadvisors.com -- along with the marketing ideas we shared. Here's an excerpt; complete link is below.

I'd like to thank my publisher for the ease in which my ideas are getting "down on paper." I also think that they had a nice marketing plan "thought out" for the book.

The short stories combine moments of humor with adventure - and lessons in life, in the style of myths and fables. The book incorporates Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS from Ms. Kovalik's Highly Effective Teaching (HET) Model. Our "Teach to Fish" series of books aims to teach a way of thinking. We want our readers to "learn to learn" after enjoying our books. The author and editor are grateful to Susan Kovalik for her LIFESKILLS (Copyright, Susan Kovalik / HET). A portion of the book's proceeds goes to www.PlayItForGood.com and other non-profits.

About the Author

Young writer Julia Chin was fascinated by Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS in third grade. She created (and illustrated) adorable characters in this book to demonstrate these LIFESKILLS to other children. This is a child's perspective on the essential skills of life, such as initiative, perseverance and caring. Julia enjoys arts and crafts, skiing, and playing the violin.

Our article -- on POD (Print on Demand) Technology

Here is an excerpt from our article on publishing books using print on demand (POD) technology.

Some authors may decide to use a publisher when they write their books. The publisher's expertise and knowledge is often well worth the nominal cost to use an industry professional. A knowledgeable publisher can often save an author time and trouble. In some cases, the cost of the publisher is just a little more than purchasing your own ISBN!

Publishers will typically work with their authors to customize services. Some authors merely need an ISBN and some help with formatting issues. Others will want editorial assistance. A good publisher should serve the needs of their authors.

An additional benefit that should not be underestimated is that using a third-party publisher gives your book added prestige. This may be particularly important if the book is a credibility-builder for your business.
