Salt Lake City, UT, November 05, 2008 (PressReleasePoint) -- You always knew you had a book in you, and you've finally crystallized an idea with tremendous potential. Your concept is so powerful - so revolutionary! - that everybody will benefit from reading it.

You believe your book has the stuff to be a bestseller. But you also know that lots of great books have never made the bestseller lists. As a writer, that has you wondering:

* Aren't book sales just a reflection of the quality of the content?
* How should my book be promoted, marketed, and advertised?
* What's my best strategy for creating a bestseller?
* How does understanding my audience in depth help me market my book?
* Why do I have to market my book? Isn't that the publisher's job?

The answers to these five questions, and many more like them, are the central issues being thoroughly addressed during the 3-day course, Book Publishing 2.0: Why Writing Your Non-Fiction Book Is Only Half the Battle.

Four experts - Michael Drew, Dave Young, Chris Maddock, and Mark Effinger - will give you the methodology, the insight, and the timing you need to simultaneously write your book and build your platform, effectively and efficiently, just like their many other successful clients:

* Identify and move beyond the 7 Myths of the Book Industry that blind authors and keep great books from becoming bestsellers
* Create a powerful 'centerpiece' for your marketing platform
* Reveal the swinging Pendulum of our country's mindset and attitudes
