Small vocab Book Is it any good?


I am planning to self-publish a small vocabulary book that contains the most common words used in English , Headwords, GRE words. The book is written in a unique style and a proven teaching method. It is intended for beginners, intermediate and advanced students and learners. No such a book is available in any bookstore in my country. I am planning to lunch a marketing and advertising Campaign at a budget of around 10-12 thousands. I will market through newspapers, emails , faxes, book signing , direct sales to customers through phone, setting a selling points in major malls for promoting and direct selling of the book to customers.Do you think the idea of the book is successful? what do you think of the whole issue ? Any advice , comment? Should i proceed with my plan or just drop the whole matter?

In publishing a book how true can your story be? Can you include real emails without permission?


If the book is based on true events do you have to normally obtain permission of any of the people prior to publishing? What if you also want to include emails you wrote to people and emails that were written back?
Thx.

Literary Agent?


Is this a fishy e-mail for a literary agent

Thank you for the information you have provided. I may have something for
you.

I don’t think you are right for the agency. We tend to target different
markets. However, we do think we can make a referral for you.

I will be forwarding this information to a traditional publisher that likes
situations like this (smaller and more focused), and can move quickly (and
at no charge to you). So far, the feedback is very good from writers we have
sent to them.

Please give them 3-5 days to get back to you. They are very diligent about
leads I send them. You will be receiving an email from
SubmissionsEB@StrategicBookPublishing.com if you need to whitelist that
email.


What does a credible survey contain? How many people are needed for the survey to be credible?


I’m writing a refutation paper in which i’m refuting an essay. The essay says that 499 people say this and that but i’m saying that 499 people for a survey is not enough nor credible. And my writing teacher agreed. But i wanna find a more credible source that says that 499 is no enough for something about a what a credible survey looks like? Thank u all :)

I have a message/idea that I want share. How do I go about writing it all down and getting it published?


I was told the following: I have to be:

- an expert on the subject.
- I should know 10 words for every word I write.
For example If I write on success, I should already be successful. If I write on money, I should already be rich. If I write on relationships, I should already be happily married.

Granted and I accept that, otherwise what is the point of the book?

I would like to hear from people who have succesfully written non-fiction or fiction. Although my topic is going to be non-fiction I would like know how you went about it? How can I use the Internet to assist me in doing so? For example, having a blog, a website, email and so forth. And what about marketing the final publication on the Internet? This looks like a daunting task on its own. I look forward to your comments.
