We always attempt to tread gently and cautiously with foresight. In fact, the real learning comes with hindsight. The ability to re-frame each snapshot of our lives brings everything into sharper focus. The real achievements come from our appreciation and respect for those things we stepped into with caution and often apprehension. The true value is often in the doing. Like the stock market, life makes its own corrections. Beautiful column, Neal. We always attempt to tread gently and cautiously with foresight. In fact, the real learning comes with hindsight.

We'll see how this goes. The book in question is a special project and very close to my heart. I'll keep you posted. I started WP after I wrote the book. What gave me credibility w/my agent was my co-author who is a world-class writer and has a few bestsellers under his belt. Sam...how do you benefit from reviewing books? Is it worth your time? In my experience, the only concern the publisher has is if you can sell books. Ironically, if you have a huge audience and can move lots of books, you don't need a big publisher. I believe that the big publishing houses are going to go the way of the major recording labels...in the ash heap of history. (Don't show this to my agent please....)

When you say "no buyers yet", are you saying nobody has bought your self-published book? Did this site help you gain credibility with your agent to find a big time publisher? There are actually a lot of online Virtual Tour sites that help market books. TLC Media contacted me for example to highlight a book on my site which I've obliged since I love books. Prob now is i have deluge of publicists wanting me to review books, and I've got 5 lined up already (who has time to read so much??). I have to imagine that reviewing books ironically will give you a leg up with the publisher. Why? B/c you talk to the publicist, and publisher directly, as well as the authors for copies and insights. One day, you can just say, "Hey, why not publish my book? Here's an idea". One day........
