A Cost-effective Way to Have a Topnotch Book Writer Help You Write a Bestseller! WRITING SEMINARS: if you don’t have an extra $100,000 to $250,000 or more to pay for a topnotch book writer, have you ever thought about attending a book writing seminar?

Writing seminars are ideal for many aspiring authors because you get the best of both worlds: a successful book writer working with you in person, and you learn how to write your own book. Not to mention the cost-effective approach.

For most people, it’s the best alternative to having a professional ghost writer write their book. Let’s face it, most people can’t afford a great book writer or ghost writer. Still, they want the best, and they want their book to become a bestseller.

Well, of course; it doesn’t make any sense to want anything less. Why have a book if it’s not going to be the best it can possibily be?

Many book writing seminars are large with maybe 50 or 100 or more attendies. The best kind of writing seminar would be a relatively small one with a coach-to-student ratio of perhaps 1:10 or 1:20. And, of course, the writing coach would have to be excellent at teaching others his or her trade.

What Should You Pay for a Good Writing Seminar?

Cost depends on a number of things: who is coaching, the number of days of the seminar, whether there is correspondence offered after the event in the coming months, and so on.

But if we were to speak of the ideal book writing seminar, then you would be looking in the neighborhood of $5,000 to $10,000. This would be for a 3-day event—that’s really more of a retreat—with some coaching afterwards. This is certainly a far cry from the mentor’s fee to write your book.

Now that you’re seriously considering reaching out to book clubs to promote your book, it’s important to know how to make your book club appearance or call-in a success. Here are some tips to help you facilitate a discussion that book club members will enjoy:

  • Set expectations with the organizer. Let the organizer know how much time you have to speak, and make sure you arrive or call in on time.
  • Be prepared. Plan to talk casually about how you got the idea to write your book, or how you became a writer. Share some anecdotes and be ready to answer questions.
  • Be engaging. Smile when you speak, and include some humor if possible. Keep your talk short and concise.
  • Expect awkward silences. Even the most well-organized conversations can have lulls. Be prepared to fill in gaps with anecdotes to keep the conversation going.
  • Be open to critique. Book club members may be critical of your writing or you as a person. Stay patient, gracious, and compassionate. Conducting yourself with poise and dignity will serve you well in the long run.
  • Upsell gently. Let listeners know about other opportunities to connect with you, such as your website or social media profiles. Talk about your next book or any other available works.
  • Ask for help. Let listeners know that you appreciate book recommendations and would love to connect with other book clubs and readers.
  • Send a thank-you note. A few days after the event, send a thank-you note to the organizer to show your appreciation for their time and support.

By following these tips, you can make your book club appearance or call-in a success and generate interest in your book among readers.
