I’m selfpublishing a book.How can I tell who the Audience is?
I have to choose about 15 of my celebrity photographic portraits to use in the promotion of my book. this is the difficult part, Should i appeal to photographers and choose my all time best work as an artist, or assume that it will be the general public who will be the buyers, and pick the celeb samples by who is popular now? I wish i could figure out who the book’s ‘audience’ will be?

A very good question.
Try going to any of the major book stores and see what section of the store they would put the book in?

Can you do some sort of a book signing, and see what kind of people you draw in?

Talk to an English Professor and see how they would rate the book.

Send copies to some of the major newspapers, and let them read it and see how they would rate it.

Talk to an agent?

Best of luck, stick with it.

Born & Raised In The Publishing Cult- Part I

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:37:41 +0000

At the time this video was made, N was 17 years old and had just come through the other side of a traumatic ordeal that forced her to sacrifice her friendships, her relationship with her mother, and nearly her life.

In this video, a child born and raised in the organization of Jehovahs Witnesses tells her story of escape and the road to recovery and adjustment. While being pressured to make a stand to get baptized as an ordained minister of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, a lifetime commitment to peddle WT publications at every opportunity, she instead made a firm decision to stand against a insidious source of emotional and mental cruelty, of spiritual abuse. She courageously withstood tremendous conflict and the persecution of her young heart and mind by friends and family members to emerge liberated from the bonds of the cult of the publishing corporation, the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society.
