Getting Published--the business side of it

Getting Published--the business side of it

When large publishers, (the big 5: Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Penguin, Random House, and Simon & Schuster) look to sign authors, they're looking at books and authors who'll make them $$$. It's all in the bottom line. Already having readers for your work, makes a writer like you more attractive to publishers. (Of course the more readers you have, millions let's say, the better.)

This is the business of getting published.

So, if you're planning to have a novel of yours published in the future, this is the time to connect with your readers. To help you, here are some basic, simple steps to get your writing out to the world, best of all, they're free.

Let people find out about your talent. Tell them, sure, but show them too, by showing them your published work in SHALLA Magazine.

1. Blog it. Get a FREE blog at Blogger.com and blog about your work in SHALLA Magazine and where they can purchase it. Personally, I like to tell everyone about buying SHALLA Magazine on Amazon, because it's easy to pay with credit cards, especially for those who do not have Paypal.

2. Twitter. Add followers on Twitter and Twitter about your book, about your poem, about your short story and your the latest news for it... always remember to put a link of your SHALLA Magazine issue.

Follow SHALLA on Twitter http://twitter.com/SHALLAMagazine

3. Facebook and Myspace At least have a Facebook and/or a Myspace page with a way for readers to contact you.

Join SHALLA on Facebook or see SHALLA on Myspace

Best!

royalty payments

2009-12-08T05:05:00.000-08:00

royalty payments

When we said "SHALLA Magazine is your book" --we'd like to tell you how we've set up royalty payments for authors included in each issue.

After all the costs of creating our beautiful book cover, costs of the artwork inside, printing copies of our SHALLA Magazine for proofing, and all the other here-and-there costs (business license, other licenses to publish it, etc), we can offer our authors this: 20% OFF per book. (if you buy directly from our printers)

Now, I've interviewed many literary agents & published novelists (see SHALLA CHATS) and do you know how much they make per book? Let's say about 60 cents per sale. For hard-covers, maybe a dollar or two.

*Authors, receive an extra 20% OFF per book... (this only applies if you order directly from our printers) Your discount code will be sent to you upon acceptance of your submission. Please email Shalla at shalla_de_guzman@yahoo.com only, only, only if you have not received your discount code and the magazine your work appears in has already been on sale for at least 2 weeks.

So, if you buy a dozen or more SHALLA Magazines for your book tour, you can sell them for $12.99 and get all your money back, plus, earn $$ from each sale; something for gasoline, a cup of coffee and to pay the shipping-and-handling cost. Of course, if you sell a million or more copies of your SHALLA Magazine--please invite us to your mansion.

How can you make money on your SHALLA Magazine?

1. Do poetry readings at your local library or college, by reading your poetry or fiction on SHALLA Magazine and other works in it and have your SHALLA Magazine available for purchase there.
Again, by purchasing your SHALLA Magazine in bulk with your 20% OFF when you purchase directly from our printers, you can sell them and make some $$.

Find the library and bookstores near you using Google.

2. Post SHALLA Magazine with a link to amazon.com on your blog or website & every time someone clicks from your site to buy it, you make $$. It's all part of amazon's associate program. Since our SHALLA Magazine is sold at amazon.com, you're qualified!

It's easy! Learn more about amazon's associate program here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/

(Please contact amazon.com if you have any questions on joining their associate program.)

What you decide to do to market SHALLA Magazine is up to you. We have given you the tools to become that successful author.

For questions on your purchases, please directly contact the place where you bought them.

If it's Amazon, contact amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/general-questions.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=518316&type=email&skip=true#csTop)

Congrats! You are now part of our SHALLA Family!

2009-12-08T04:09:00.000-08:00

You're published in SHALLA Magazine?

Congrats! You are now part of our SHALLA Family!

If your work is featured in at least one of our SHALLA Magazine, print issues, please read on...

Wouldn't it be nice to get your work read by thousands, even millions of people?

Of course.

That way, when your novel gets published, or whatever other book you have out there, you'll have even more followers for your work.

SHALLA Magazine is your book. If you've always wanted to setup booksignings, poetry readings, book tours, then go ahead. Your name's on the cover (it's on the cover of the issue you are published in).

Conduct poetry readings or fiction readings at your local library and read your work and the work of others from our SHALLA Magazine. Set up book signings at your local bookstores... we invite you to. Again, your name is on the cover of the magazine and your work is artistically and beautifully featured inside. Tell everyone about it.

Already have other books you're promoting--add your SHALLA Magazine to your arsenal of literary prowess.

A Terrific Business Plan : So, write your best stories, your greatest poetry, get them published in another magazine--the best ones out there: Ploughshares, Glimmer Train, The New Yorker--then publish them here at SHALLA Magazine (and receive even more readers, let your work achieve immortality on paper, open to the possibility of being 'discovered' by lit agents and publishers, win the Pulitzer for Fiction, the Nobel Prize for Literature...). And even while you are joining the ranks of the literary greats, Steinbeck, Shakespeare, Toni Morrison--publish your poetry/short story in an anthology, a collection, whatever you like, go ahead, you've always kept the rights to publish your work everywhere else, but now you have shared them to the world.

SHALLA Magazine likes discovering talents and making them shine!
