I'm Published!'s Bestseller Program

The Bestseller Program
with Donna Sozio

Do you want a Literary Agent, Book Deal, TV/Film Option & major Media Attention?

Do you want to MAKE MONEY as an Author?

If you answered YES… then this for you!

Learn the ONE THING that 99% of First-Time Authors will never know. If you want to SELL YOUR BOOK, Get MAJOR MEDIA and MAKE MONEY, you need to know this!

To become a successful author you must begin writing with the end in mind. Yes, that means you must know your media campaign, book marketing strategy, sound bites, who your audience is and your book’s bestselling concept before you begin writing!

Why?

In today’s book market that is what it takes to become a successful first-time author. Which is exactly why I designed this program: to teach you everything you need to know to begin writing your book “with the (bestselling!) end in mind”.

This program is designed for you to literally walk away with everything you need to SELL YOUR BOOK including a killer query letter, an expert book marketing plan, A-list media strategy, hot press release, bestselling book title… and much more. You need to know this because even when working with a top publisher authors are often left to do the majority of their publicity.

Why learn from me? I do things a certain way that gets consistent results including: multiple book deals, major ongoing national media (such as The Tyra Banks Show, Early Show, MSN homepage…), TV and film options, and top literary representation. I received multiple offers from agents multiple times, sold my first book to a major publisher in just weeks, and sold the film rights to my second book before it was even finished. I’m represented by a top agency, Paradigm, and Fremantle is a producer on my reality show. My clients have received major book deals, won the Border’s Books James Patterson Competition, become Amazon.com bestsellers and finalists in the Indie Excellence Awards.
