GIZEMLI NEHIR, Turkish translation of my thriller THE RIVER is now available in Turkey

Introducing the Turkish translation of THE RIVER... A couple of days ago I found a package in the mail from the literary agency in Turkey that had handled the contracts for a Turkish translation of my techno-thriller, THE RIVER. Inside the package were two paperbacks of the newly released GIZEMLI NEHIR--my translation.
To say that I'm thrilled is an understatement! I had very much the same reaction as I'd had when my very first novel was published and in my hands. I was awed, excited, proud, and in disbelief. GIZEMLI NEHIR marks another highlight in my career as a writer--and in my life.
Though I don't know anyone other than the literary agent in Turkey, I can't wait to hear from a reader in Turkey who has read this translation. 
Thank you to Eftalya Kitap, book publisher in Turkey, for taking a chance on my novel.
And a special thank you to Filiz Karaman at Nurichan Kesim Literary Agency for making this deal happen.

NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies to Hold Advanced Publishing Institute (API) on “Studies in Digital Book Strategy,” September 20-21

Elite, Intensive Two-Day Program for Execs to Focus on Business Strategies in Digital Book Publishing
NEW YORK, June 2012 – The NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) Center for Publishing will offer its first ever Advanced Publishing Institute (scps.nyu.edu/advancedpublishinginstitute), an elite, intensive, two-day program that will provide practical, classroom-based learning to executives about the book industry’s transition from print to digital.

Taking place September 20-21, “Studies in Digital Book Strategy” presents an opportunity for editors, marketers, agents, authors, sales staff, and other mid- to senior-level publishing professionals to expand and enhance their knowledge of digital books and the integration of print and digital. The two-day Institute will be led by top media executives and experienced NYU-SCPS Center for Publishing faculty members, who are also senior-level executives at major publishing houses.

The Institute will focus on key topics, such as business strategies and change management, through the use of practical case studies. Course content will consist of:
· In-depth analysis of successful digital book campaigns; · Strategy sessions on workflow, discoverability, and good (and bad) metadata; · Understanding optimum pathways for marketing and sales data analysis; · Navigating the new world of digital rights and permissions; · Learning what booksellers need from editors, marketers, and everyone else on the publishing team; · Hands-on computer laboratory time practicing key digital functions including web analytics, social media, and EPUB production; and · Networking opportunities at lunchtime, breaks, and the post-session reception.“The Advanced Publishing Institute is an important forum for those who want more in-depth analysis and learning than what many book conferences offer,” said Andrea Chambers, academic director of the NYU-SCPS Center for Publishing. “Unique in its faculty and hands-on approach to learning, the program is designed to help publishing professionals gain a better understanding of the technologies and strategies used regularly in their companies. It’s really a great opportunity to learn new skills and get ready for what’s next in digital books.”

The Advanced Publishing Institute will take place on Thursday, September 20 and Friday, September 21, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (6 p.m. on September 21). Enrollment is limited to 100.

The registration rate, which includes lunches, coffee breaks, and the closing reception, is $1,000. More information and registration details are available at http://scps.nyu.edu/advancedpublishinginstitute.

New Release: How I Made Over $42,000 Selling My Kindle eBooks

In March 2012 one Canadian author boldly went where few have gone before—into the land of making real money with Amazon's KDP Select program.

This is her story…
My name is Cheryl Kaye Tardif and I am an international bestselling suspense author who earned over $42,000 dollars in March 2012 selling ebooks via Amazon's KDP Select program, captured the interest of a major literary agency, and went on to sign with a foreign rights agent. And I'm about to tell you HOW I did all that.

I don't normally tell people how much money I make, but I believe writers need to know it IS possible to earn a real income from your books. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can—if you have the right combination of criteria and techniques.

In this book, I'll share with you what I believe are four key elements you must have in place to see high sales. And I'll reveal the strategic techniques I used during my KDP Select promotions that resulted in earning over $42,000—with $32,000 of that from ONE title alone.

Not only did I earn over $42,000 in ebook sales, I was contacted by one of the leading literary agencies in New York. The chairman noticed my success when my one title made #4 in the Top 100 Bestselling Kindle ebooks, right under The Hunger Games trilogy. Since then, I've signed with another agent for foreign rights.

So, if you're ready to earn some real money with Select, let's begin…
