Are you ‘book-ed’ this weekend?

 Are you book ed this weekend?
With best-selling author

at the recent Global Speakers Summit.

It’s well & truly winter in Cape Town now!  I’ve been so busy the last few weeks – preparing materials, meeting with my long-term supporters, performing & presenting – that the late nights & early mornings finally caught up with me.  After spending the past 2 days in bed watching cricket & struggling with the sniffles (shame, my daughter also has a cold), I woke up this morning ready to tackle the week!

And what a week it is going to be …

If you’re in Cape Town next week from Saturday 13th to Tuesday 16th June (this coming week), I highly recommend you take the time to visit the Cape Town Book Fair , at the CTICC.  It is a reader’s paradise & I’m really looking forward to it.  Be warned! If you love reading as much as I do, put a ‘daily limit’ on your cards BEFORE you arrive – I learnt this the hard way last year.

I’m happy to announce that this year my book, “The Serious Business Owner’s Guide To Creating Customers For Life, is going to be on display at my publisher’s stand & I will be there for a book-signing, chat & a performance.  My book will be on sale, at R 75,00 (instead of R 99,00 at Exclusive Books)  but if you already have a copy then bring it with you – if you are willing to provide a written comment, I’ll give you another signed copy free!

Cape Town Book FairI will be at stand J2a on Saturday 13th June from  13h00 – 15h00 & Monday 15th June from 13h00 – 15h00, so if you were planning to come let me know & I’ll see you there!

But this is the best part …

I’ve had a chat with my publisher, Barbara Meuller from New Voices Publishing & I’ve convinced her to create a very, very special offer.

As you may know, I strongly recommend publishing your own book & many of my clients & friends have asked me how I do it.  Well, I can explain it but why not ask someone who does it professionally?

I suggested to Barbara that she run a half-day workshop on how to write, edit, print, publish, distribute, sell & promote your own book in South Africa.  This workshop is worth about R 2 500,00 at least, but together we’ve come up with a unique opportunity.

Come visit the New Voices Publishing stand at the Cape Town Book Fair at stand number J2a & you will receive a free ticket to this half-day ‘How to Publish Your Own Book’ workshop!

This is a BOOK FAIR EXCLUSIVE, however Barbara has given me a few pre-booked tickets to the workshop which I would like to personally distribute.  I only have 5 right now, so if you would like to pre-book a ticket at no charge, please click here.  The date of the workshop has not yet been confirmed, but I let you know as soon as Barbara has secured the venue.

I hope to see you there!

    Hi there!

    Well, it’s a pity you’re not in Cape Town because there is a free seminar on “How To Publish Your Own Book In South Africa” happening on the 25th July 2009 (http://ow.ly/fIOG for details & registration) in Cape Town.

    In your case, I suggest you contact Barbara from New Voices Publishing-on-Demand (www.newvoices.co.za). She will definitely be able to assist you & prove you with practical advice.

    I hope you’ll return to tell me when it is published!

    Best wishes,
    - Marcel
