A speaking coach is a useful service for many authors, as publicly promoting an author's book is an important part of helping to get that book into the hands of readers.
Finding a good speaking coach can be a very cost-effective investment towards greater profits for an author, especially if, like many people, speaking publicly is not their favorite thing to do. The right coach can help an author thrive in front of audiences, turning the task of publicly speaking about their book into a joy.

Writer's Summit Tip #19: When calling a book store to find out if you can schedule a book signing - if they ask you, "Is your book 'Print on Demand'?" They don't really care about the real answer to that question... bookstores do not care how your book was manufactured. The real question they are asking you is, "Are your books returnable?"
Print on Demand books typically are not returnable and therefore, bookstores do not like to do book signings with authors who books are "Print on Demand."
If you do get asked this question, answer with your return policy. "No, my books come with 100% return guarantee."

Writer's Summit Tip #18: Celebrate your Success!
Have a launch party for your book!
Many authors rely on a press announcement to get the word out for their book - that's not enough. Throw a party for your book!
Your inner circle wants to celebrate with you. Invite family, friends, neighbors, people from church, people from the office, people from your networking groups to your launch party.
They will all buy at least one book to help you celebrate the success. Offer them a copy of a "First run, numbered, personally dedicated book" - it is a collector's item.
Then give them a reason to buy 2 or 3 - discount the multiple sale and let them know they make perfect presents for whatever holiday is about to come up (Christmas, Mother's Day, Birthday).
You'll be amazed how many books you sell at a launch party and how well that launches your book into the marketplace!
Have a party!
