Book of the Week: Road Map to Power

Dormant for almost a year -- sadly so because this is one of the best books I have ever had the privilege to publish -- Road Map to Power, written by father-son team, Syed and Darius Husain, has gained a second wind this week, happily so because this book has the potential to change anyone's life for the better, way better, to bring real power into any life.

This is exactly what both have spend their careers doing. The father, Dr. Husain, has changed many children's lives for the better hthrough his pratcice of medicine on an international level. The son, Mr. Husain, has created a school where struggling learners thrive, saving children in another way.

And now their book offers the possibility to save the lives of many people in a very different way.

A favorite!  And a Readers' Favorite award winner.

It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today's post looks at the difference between book marketing and book promotion, two terms that are frequently confused. Leading to the confusion is that some of the same activities are needed for both. In fact, good marketing is dependent upon good promotion. Perhaps the essential difference is that marketing focuses on sales, and promotion focuses on awareness --  noting that without awareness, sales generally do not happen.
