Think of the books that never would have been written. Think of the most important book of them all, the Bible, if it had never been written. All of these things were made possible through the use of one thing: ink. The Spoken Word Isn't Enough To Record History Before ink, people used to communicate in ot... more...

Four-one thousand, three-one thousand, two-one thousand, one-one thousand...Times up! These four seconds are probably largest determinant of the success of your magazine. It's the amount of time you have to convince the potential reader to pick up your magazine instead of all the others available. Did you win or lose? It doesn't seem quite fair with all those man-hours spent designing the cover, agonizing over which photographs and background to use, composing all the cleaver h... more...

Fictional history is a section of a novel based on real facts but the storyline being an imagination of the author only. It confuses some readers but it is a good strategy to incite interest and gain a following. It may be based on real past events yet the story itself was revised such that it is still classified as fictional. Fictional history has been made timeless and endearing to all the people. It greatly influences the beliefs formed in the minds of the readers or viewers. I... more...

More and more magazine, newspapers and other articles which once would have been printed on paper are now being published online, which in turn has had a negative effect on the conveyor market.

It wasn't long before people saw the potential that a belt system could have on their industries. It wasn't long before belts were being installed i... more...

Case Study: In July of 2009, our agency played a behind-the-scenes role in a battle that pitted The Dark Knight against Aliens and Terminators, and we won. It started with taking on the PR campaign of one of Hollywood's most successful but lesser-known producers, and giving him a high enough profile to stand toe to toe with Hollywood hit-maker James (Terminator, Titanic) Cameron. Our client, Michael Uslan, executive producer of blockbuster movies like Constantine, Batman, Batman Beg... more...

Many new authors are mystified about how in the world to get their books into a bookstore. While is it fairly easy to list your book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online, getting your book into a physical bookstore is very difficult for a new, self-published author. According to Eric Kampmann, principal of MidPoint Trade Books, large bookstore chains are not interested in dealing with self-publishers or even small independent publishers. They are reluctant because they are not su... more...

After you have spent hours writing, editing, and revising your book, you have invested a lot of time, energy and passion into the project. You have also invested some money in a professional edit, cover design, and perhaps some coaching. There is one last step to a successful book project. Neglecting this final step will lead to embarrassment and a poorly selling book. This step has several names-formatting, layout, internal design or typesetting. In this step, however you name i... more...

Many authors struggle when pricing their books. On one hand, you are providing extremely valuable information to your readers. On the other hand, books have a perceived value that is less than a coaching session or a live event. For many of you, pricing will not be an issue. You will work with a publisher who will determine the price of your book for you. However, if you decide to self-publish your book, or work with a publisher who allows you to set your price, you may find yourself ... more...

During the Holocaust, book burning was a common practice and tens of millions went up in smoke. But such disgusting proclivities do not die an easy death. In 1978 Communist dictator Tito of Yugoslavia gave 850,000 Albanian Muslims in Kosovo autonomy, without a single vote of the other 7 million citizens of his country... this was the first time in a communist country that one group of citizens was shown special treatment, including a form of welfare.
