I was on of the local authors who was interviewed by Karen Elgersma on The Daily Show about their experience of writing and publishing their books. It featured Julie Salisbury and the InspireABook system and included some of the experiences of self-published authors.

This video has some hints and tips for any writers curious about the reality of publishing their own book — you can listen to real people talk about their own real life experience from Vancouver Island and the options available to these writers as they struggled through the process of writing and publishing their books. Check it out…

For anyone interested in becoming an author in 2010, I highly recommend attending one of Julie’s InspireABook workshops:

InspireABook Intensive Weekend

When: January 16th and 17th, 2010
Where: Victoria Executive Center on Fort St. in Victoria, BC, Canada
Time: 10am to 4pm with homework assignments on the Saturday.
Full Price: $495
Early Bird Price: $397

At the weekend workshop you will learn:

  • How to get organized, get focused and overcome writers block!
  • How to use “mind-maps” to organize your outline and chapters.
  • How to use the unique InspireABook™ binder system to organize your material.
  • Understand the editing and publishing industry and all the options available to you to get published professionally.
  • How to write a winning book proposal and marketing plan for mainstream publisher submission.
  • How to market your book and get media exposure

And here are some of the testimonials Julie has received:

The structure has given me a starting point and given me a plan for writing in bite size chunks/goals. I found the binder worksheets, mindmaps and group discussions really good.

Julie Salisbury has a way of pulling the book out of your very heart when you don’t even know it’s there. She is the writer’s mid-wife. I have not stopped since Sunday Julie, it’s still very disjointed but it pours.

Moira Gardener, Writer and Entrepreneur

I want to thank you for holding my feet to the fire with your probing and being the catalyst for me to figure out what the book is really about. I don’t think I would have gotten to this stage without you.Writing this book is not only very joyous for me but has raised my awareness to another level.It never seizes to amaze me how the right people always show up in my life at the right time.
Thank you sooo much for being such a big part of this joyous journey.
With much love and gratitude.

Kucki Low, Author “Keep your head in the clouds – South Africa’s first woman airline pilot”

I found Julie and the Inspire A Book program while working out a deal for self publishing a craft book Gem Tree Sculptures. My book was 90% complete at the time or so I thought. Through the course of the Inspire A Book program I learned that there was more to publishing a book than just writing the chapters and putting it together. It was valuable input for a book that I thought was completed.
Julie was able to answer all questions regarding the book publishing process I completely endorse the Inspire A Book program to any aspiring writer or even a seasoned writer.
Thanks Julie for a great program and I’m actually looking forward to writing my second book.

Dana James, Author “Gem Tree Sculptures”

As you can see, this workshop is just as beneficial if your book idea is just in your head or your manuscript is complete and you need help transforming it into a published book!
