Dorie Clark – Land Your Book Deal

We live in an era of almost infinite content creation – podcasts, blogs, social media, and more.

And yet, landing a book deal with a respected commercial publishing house is still a signal achievement.

To conference organizers who hire speakers, reporters who cover your beat, and assignment editors who book guests on national television, a commercially published book marks you as someone credible and worth listening to.

When I published my first book with Harvard Business Review Press in 2013, my business took a very different turn.

Since Reinventing You was released, I’ve been able to dramatically increase my fees and work with high profile clients. I’ve built a six-figure per year paid speaking business, and have traveled around the world teaching and giving talks (Thailand, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, France, Singapore, the Netherlands, and many more).

Landing a book deal with a major publishing house can be extremely helpful if your goal is to:

• Build your reputation as an expert in your field
• Attract new clients and business opportunities
• Enable you to command premium fees
• Launch a paid speaking career
• Secure prominent media opportunities
• Create intellectual property you can leverage to build an online course

In Land Your Book Deal, you’ll learn:

• How to structure a compelling book proposal (I’ll give you actual copies of my proposals to model)
• How to identify and target the right literary agent for you
• How to position yourself and your idea to make you irresistible to publishers
• What to expect in the process (typical timelines, advances, what’s expected of you as an author, etc.)
• How to develop your marketing plan to ensure your book is a success

What is Business ?

Business is the activity of making one’s living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services).^{[need quotation to verify]} Simply put, it is “any activity or enterprise entered into for profit.”

Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business. If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner’s personal possessions. A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business.

The term is also often used colloquially (but not by lawyers or by public officials) to refer to a company. A company, on the other hand, is a separate legal entity and provides for limited liability, as well as corporate tax rates. A company structure is more complicated and expensive to set up, but offers more protection and benefits for the owner.
