BookPal to Hold Seminar on Writing and Self-Publishing Strategies; What Emerging Trends, Methods and Tools Are Required to Succeed in a Changing Publishing Industry
Following the surge in print-on-demand books and e-books, today’s writers have more opportunities than ever to get published with successful results. BookPal’s seminar in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will explore the tools, channels and methods to get published and maximize revenue streams.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, September 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- BookPal, Australia’s largest publisher of self-published books will hold a seminar aimed at aspiring writers and individuals with interest in the latest publishing strategies. The seminar will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from October 30st to 31st, 2010.
Topics to be presented and discussed include opportunities for publishing with print on demand, how to use Social Media and Internet to maximize publicity and revenue, and picking the right route of distribution from the new publishing models.
“Not only will we examine the formula for writing a bestseller, but also explore proven methods of background research, overcoming creative barriers and how to market and generate publicity around your published works,” says Terrence Tam, CEO and founder of BookPal.
On-demand publishing has overtaken traditional publishing title output per annum, and the e-book has become an accepted platform following the sales explosion of tablets such as the iPad and the Kindle. Just between 2007 and 2008, the print-on-demand book market grew by 200%, while traditional publishing sank by 3%.
Recognizing that book publishing and reading habits would drastically change, BookPal was founded in 2006 and has since released over 1,000 self-published titles. Bookpal will also be launching its services to Malaysia at the same time as they conduct their seminar.
“New technologies have redefined today’s publishing industry and created new reader expectations. With emerging channels and distribution methods, we need to adapt fast and stay informed. More than just a creative writing seminar, we have packed the agenda with useful information to help with the creative and marketing process. For instance, we will explore how to find out if your book will be in demand and how to use Internet and Social Media to generate interest and revenue,” says Terence Tam.
“We are confident that the panel of speakers and the seminar agenda will provide invaluable advice to the writers eager to get published. If you feel that the seminar has failed to deliver what was promised, or for whatever reason you are dissatisfied with the seminar, simply head up to our reception desk by noon (12PM) on the second day and we will give you a 100% full money refund, no questions asked!” says Terence Tam.
Patricia Ang, a writer and publicist who attended Bookpal’s Singapore seminar last month, says “It was an informative and engaging seminar. Definitely one not to be missed."
BookPal’s Seminars are internationally recognized and booked to capacity. The company has adapted an attendance limit policy in order to maintain a high quality dialogue and interaction through the seminar. Bookpal encourages preregistration to prevent overbooking.
