Re: How To Write a Book with Adam Frasier – Episode #080

JoyceMah — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:52:31 -0000

Great to see Adam again. Clearly, the application of Dale's writing and publishing advice has yielded welcome results.

In another genre, such as spirituality, I'm curious as to how to apply the techniques without losing credibility in a 'authenticity-based' discipline?

Can you offer any suggestions, Dale?

Thanks,
Joyce

Like how you cover many different angles, Dale. Appreciate the suggestion to shop around for increased negotiation power; especially as a first time author.

It's nice to catch glimpses of your son every so often..............kids grow fast and teach us parents a great deal.

Nice also to learn that someone took something freely available and in turn, offered it for a greater cause.

Re: Royalty Free Content As Value Adds – Episode #074

Your comments about copyrights applies to other art forms as well, including; written and recorded music, visual art, etc.
I feel crediting others for their original work is the conscientious thing to do, and I believe ANY artist with values would abide by this..........this is certainly true in my industry as a professional musician.

Thanks for allowing me to voice this ~ Joyce

I'm fortunate to have two highly skilled and experienced individuals supporting my first book: Raymond Chow - a prominent visual artist/illustrator w. 50 years in the field, and Dominic DaAssuncao - a computer analyst/developer w. 18 years in his specialization. While both are established professionals and a wealth of resources, either may be able offer support or guidance to new artists. Their contact emails are: raymondchowartists@gmail.com, and dominic.daassuncao@shaw.ca

Give them a try and say I referred them ~ Joyce Mah

Re: Speaking Tips with Tony Gattari – Episode #070

JoyceMah — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:57:40 -0000

As an experienced educator, I can confirm Tony's comments about simplifying content: your audience needs to feel comfortable with what you offer, and confident they can absorb the materials, skills, etc. Being personable and sincerely interested in others' growth is the difference between a presenter who connects and one who doesn't.

Thanks to both of you for reiterating that perceived value is measured by the sum of one's efforts and training.

Lee Harris (British spiritual teacher) has a great saying: "success is defined by how much the people around you benefit".

Re: Book Marketing Plan with Bookmarks – Episode #066

Printers who understand the value of relationship building will work with you on maximizing space to reduce paper wastage. I found this to be true in printing an original board-game years ago. Don't be afraid to ask for options......

Hope this helps your viewers, Dale ~ Joyce

Re: Amazon Print on Demand : Get Your Book on Amazon – Episode #065

JoyceMah — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:17:29 -0000

A question came to mind while watching this episode: what time frame do you recommend between books from new authors? Do you have a formula or strategy?

Thanks so much!

Re: Book Editing Tips – Episode #063

JoyceMah — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:42:37 -0000

Writing my first book: the genre is personal development-inspirational. The content comes primarily from my experiences and observation. The intent is to educate and stimulate, rather than recount my personal life. The content does involve certain spiritual concepts, so I'm wondering whether a copy editor would suffice?

Thanks ~ Joyce

As a (classically) trained singer and performance coach, I'd like to share with your viewers who are considering audiobooks that tonal quality, diction and delivery are important factors which contribute to the quality of the recording. Even more important is the sincerity of the performer's or author's speech; as lay audiences can detect nonchalance equally as well as passion in the voice.

Hope these pointers help. Feel free to contact me for clarification or just to say 'hello' at: joyce.mah@shaw.ca

In kind ~ Joyce

Re: Building Business Relationships for Non-Fiction Authors – Episode #058

JoyceMah — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:23:57 -0000

As a musician, I'm thinking of giving sample recordings as bonuses (currently working on my first book). I have an artist friend - known throughout Canada - who regularly gives away prints of his works as bonuses, door prizes, etc. Even after 50 years in his field, he continues to give.

Just a couple of ideas to link into and mutually support the creative arts.....................Joyce

Great info Dale. A trustworthy professional I recommend is Dominic DaAssuncao in Vancouver, Canada. His company creates, develops, and implements custom programs for major private clients, ie., hospitals, cancer agency, businesses, etc. He is a fantastic resource for anyone looking for guidance. Contact info: medwerks.ca or dominic.daassuncao@shaw.ca

Hope this helps your viewers,
