We can’t hold a Publishing Day without trying to uncover how books make it to the bestseller lists!
Do you have questions about the criteria for a book’s success, and how to market your work in ways that meet industry standards? What about the impact of social networking, book bloggers, audio and e-books, and even how to use AI to best promote your books?
