San Juan Books Presents Its Special Authors: Meet Andrew Wilcox

 



San Juan Books is the hybrid division of MSI Press LLC. It allows first-time writers to become published in a traditional way through the reduction of risk by sharing publication costs. All other publishing features are traditional in nature, and most SJB authors go on to be offered traditional contracts for their subsequent books. SJB publications are available as paperback, hard cover, and e-book versions.

SJB authors' books very much hold their own against their contemporaries in the traditional publishing division. Indeed, a number of them have outsold their traditional compatriots.

Today, San Juan Books presents author Andrew Wilcox.

Andrew loves learning about anything space related, and dreams of a career at NASA or SpaceX.

Andrew plays the trumpet in marching band and plays the piano.  He has his black belt in karate, is a sprinter on the track team, and enjoys skiing with family and friends.  Andrew loves to fix computers and other electronics.

He has been making origami designs since he was five and sells his creations in a shop in his hometown.

Andrew lives in Maryland with his mom, dad, and older brother.

Dr. Kristin Wilcox, who is Andrew's mother, and Andrew co-authored Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain. Their book won the Literary Titan Gold Award and received high ratings from US Review of Books and MidWest Book Review.

A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
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.
