All I have to say about your work Uvi is that it is great. My question is that I am published by a hybrid publishing company. With my new series I am going to work my fingers to the bone to get an agent so I can be published by a traditional publishing company. Could you give me any pointers on how to accomplish this?

Uvi Poznansky Dear Mary, great to hear from you! I checked out your book, Temptation, with a truly striking cover and an intriguing book description, so as to be better informed about your work.

So first let me tell you about the product page: your publishing company should make sure that Amazon displays the 'Look Inside' feature. Without it, readers are not able to get a taste of your writing, and therefore, why would they buy the book? So approach Page publishing and put the pressure on them.

Second, let me tell you that you must publish your book not only in print format, but also in ebook format. This is where most sales are. (try Draft2Digital.com to publish your ebook edition. You will need to upload your doc file, and off you go.)

Since I am an Indie author, not sure I can impart any wisdom about finding an agent. I don't have one, and I see more and more traditionally-published authors decide to go the Indie rout. Why? Because that's the best way of having full control over the publishing aspects, and because in today's literary world, if you are up to learning the ropes, you have a fair chance of making it in the fight.

The most important lesson I learned is this: publishing is easy, once you learn how to do it. What is an on-going challenge is reaching out to your readers. This is something I constantly think about.
