Bill and Steve Harrison’s Reporter Connection, always starts out with helpful suggestions. I personally find this tip extremely valuable since I agree with it 100%.
I’ve said it a million times, and now the New York Times says it too. The best way to sell a product – a book, DVD, T-shirt, coffee, whatever – is by telling a story. How did you come up with the idea? What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them? Telling the story-behind-the-story is a great way to connect with readers. Read this piece for a great checklist of questions that can help you develop your story.

“I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them. After my father died, the book that sort of saved my life was Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. Because of that experience, I firmly believe there are books whose greatness actually enables you to live, to do something. And sometimes, human beings need story and narrative more than they need nourishment and food.”
