The Seven Dynamics of Authorship with HeartWork Publishing 1. Vision is about finding the heart of your book and its target market. Its about discovering your deep message and the problem you are going to solve with your book. How is your product, your message, and your solution different from every other product out there on this topic? What makes you unique 2. Packaging is all about positioning. Its about turning your vision into the product. It’s the big picture conversation that conveys the message of your book in a way that makes people want to buy. Your packaging guides all of your marketing and positioning and must be tested along the way before the product is released to ensure it is in alignment with your target market. 3. Publishing is a critical component to any book project. Its coordinating the specifications of your packaging with the printer and distributors to ensure all of the segments of the supply chain work together correctly. It involves color specification on your cover, image specifications on your interior layout, margins, bleed, and more. 4. Distribution is making your book available to the world. Having your book positioned and for sale at the world’s largest retailers internationally makes the biggest difference in your books branding and sales potential. After all (and this may sound stupid), if the book is unavailable when someone is looking for it, they can’t purchase it! 5. Representation is the next step in building your brand as an author. What other countries and other languages would find your content relevant? How can we repackage your content for film and television? These are all critical components of an author’s representation and brand development worldwide. 6. Sales is a core component of any author’s book project. Sales comes from a combination of distribution, promotion, representation, marketing, and time. Once a book is available in as many possible venues as possible, people have to find out about it. Thats where the promotion and marketing comes in. 7. Marketing & Promotion is where everything comes together in a book’s launch. This is the most important part of an author’s journey because its where the book hits the streets and is available for the public to buy. Once a publisher distributes the book, does some promotion and makes the book available worldwide, the author’s marketing drives the sales.
