Calling All Authors

CALLING ALL AUTHORS is a talk show designed to inform the first time writer, the aspiring author and the reading public about issues and concerns that affect books and their creation from beginning to end. This show presents a dynamic and entertaining focus on books, their creation and their marketing. CALLING ALL AUTHORS addresses topics about writing, manuscript submission, publishing trends, marketing success and outside the box promotional techniques.

Nightengale Press Publisher and host for CALLING ALL AUTHORS, Valerie Connelly, has discovered there are legions of truly excellent writers who get discouraged by the rejection inherent in the search for a publisher and who are unprepared to become self-publishers. “CALLING ALL AUTHORS is a chance to serve all aspiring writers who want to do what it takes to remove their work from the dusty file drawer, or closet shelf, or basement storage box and bring it into the marketplace,” says Ms. Connelly. CALLING ALL AUTHORS will have a call-in segment for writers to pose questions directly to the publisher.

Nightengale Press is founded on the concept of author-centric publishing. The mission at Nightengale Press is simply to put the author’s needs first. Nightengale Press authors receive publishing information, marketing training, one-on-one product development of their books, ease of production, industry connectivity, online visibility with their own website subdomain, and affiliate programs to broaden their sales scope. Authors keep the lion’s shares of the profit from their work, and get a helping hand from the start of the process to completion. Nightengale Press has increased its published titles nearly 300% since first offering these revolutionary publishing services in 2004. It seems natural to bring this success over internet radio to those aspiring authors who are looking for a reasonable way to get their books into print.

CallingAllAuthors.org--- Learn the Business of Authoring a Book is a writer and author organization that brings on-going, reality-based information and assistance to writers in a wholly interactive and innovative way.
