Who's Who of Self-Publishing, Publicity, and POD To Take On Harry Potter and The Secret
Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) March 27, 2007 -- The battle between David and Goliath has begun today, Tuesday, March 27th. We all know the Goliath of the publishing world, the 700-pound gorilla known as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," which has held the #1 spot on Amazon since the online retailer began accepting pre-orders. And we know the top contender, "The Secret."
But who is "David" to take on such heavy hitters? In this case, it is a self-published book from on-demand publisher Outskirts Press at http://outskirtspress.com titled, "Sell Your Book on Amazon."
"We're pulling out all the stops," Outskirts Press CEO and author of "Sell Your Book on Amazon" Brent Sampson states. "I cannot have a book titled 'Sell Your Book on Amazon' that does not sell well on Amazon."
Joining Sampson on Tuesday for the one-day book launch campaign is a formidable force of allies, including Dan Poynter, Rick Frishman, Marnie Pehrson, and Penny C. Sansevieri, all of whom are participating in the promotion of the new book and offering prizes to be awarded to every customer who buys "Sell Your Book on Amazon" from Amazon.com on March 27th for the listed price of $14.95.
"In order to incite readers to buy any book it helps to offer a tremendous value that exceeds the purchase price," continues Sampson. "In this case, customers will receive helpful materials from the likes of self-publishing guru Dan Poynter, bestselling author and publicist Rick Frishman, and Writer's Digest."
In addition to free e-books and free issues of Writer's Digest, each customer who orders on Tuesday, March 27th will be entered into a random drawing for a $999 Diamond book publishing package, compliments of Outskirts Press. For full details visit http://outskirtspress.com/amazon
"I love Harry Potter, but we are going after an entirely different market with my book," Brent Sampson states. "Instead of wizards, warlocks, and wands, 'Sell Your Book on Amazon' unravels the mysteries of Amazon in the name of blogs, plogs, and wikis. For print-on-demand and self-publishing writers, my hope is that the content is just as magical. And everybody knows J.K. Rowling got her start self-publishing."
