A. HAPPY THANKSGIVING. I feel so lucky to be in the book publishing business. Publishers are helpful, friendly and supportive because our books are unique. We conspire to sell more books, we do not compete. Thank you for your enormous help, overwhelming inspiration and continual friendship.
B. UPS RATES TO RISE IN JANUARY; Postal Service likely to hold rates
until 2006. UPS will increase rates 2.9 to 3.9 percent with the residential
surcharge changing from $1.10 to $1.15. UPS also applies an index-based
fuel surcharge to its shipments that is adjusted monthly. FedEx is expected
to follow.
See http://www.UPS.com and http://www.ps500.com/news.asp
C. NEW INFOKITS ON BOOK WRITING, PUBLISHING AND PROMOTING. We have updated
and expanded our f-r-e-e Information Kits. Now you can get the very latest
book tips and resources. See
http://parapub.com/getpage.cfm?file=/infokit.html
D. BEWARE OF EULA AND TERMS & CONDITIONS. Those cute little electronic greeting cards you occasionally get from friends may be a real problem. There's a new card company called "FriendGreetings.com". When you get a card notification from them and click on the link, it will take you to their site. You will be notified that you have to install an ActiveX control in order to view the card. When you begin to install, the first thing that pops up is what is known as a "EULA" (End User License Agreement). It is very long, and you are not likely to read it.
They're counting on that. When you scroll to the bottom of it and click "Accept," you have agreed to the terms of the EULA.
Part of what you will have agreed to is to have monitoring/spyware software installed on your computer which will periodically report a vast array of data back to the card company. The other part that you've agreed to is to have the software send mail to every single address in your address book. In short, you've voluntarily agreed to install a virus-type product on your machine.
For more details, see: www.snopes.com/computer/virus/friend.htm. See the example at the bottom of the page.
Since there is no virus in the email, and since you are voluntarily agreeing to install the activex component, virus checkers will not catch this.
Do not run anything from the internet which requires a EULA agreement.
The sad part is - by clicking on "I Agree" - you do - and it's legal!"
E. TRAVEL PUBLISHERS. Show your books at the Los Angeles Times Travel Show, February 1 and 2 in Long Beach. The Times people expect about 15,000 visitors, 1000 travel agents, and some 800 exhibitors.
The International Publishers Alliance is inviting other publishers to participate in a booth. If you have travel books or books of interest to travelers (novels, current events, history, self-help, children) and want to your books displayed, contact Godfrey Harris, 800/966 7716 or hrmg@aol.com for more information.
F. SHARE YOUR PUBLICITY SUCCESSES. If you've had success getting newspaper
articles written about you, or been on TV or radio to talk about your
book, email your story to Joel Christopher for his book. Send the story
to
Publicity@SuccessAccess.com?subject=Success-Story
See
http://www.successaccess.com
This will be a hardcover book which they expect to promote heavily--They are shooting for a number-one position on Amazon.com on the launch date (mid to late January 2003).
G. WANT A TWO-CHARACTER URL?
WZ.com is for sale. See

F. WRITER'S ROUNDTABLE. For two hours each week, Antoinette Kuritz and a variety of co-hosts talk with successful writers, working agents, editors, book designers, ghost writers, reviewers, read & critique group leaders--anyone and everyone from the writing community who can motivate, educate, and inspire writers in the art, craft, and business of writing.
No presentation about the writing life would be complete without an
inside look at the business aspects of publishing. How does Simon &
Schuster or Random House decide how many copies should be printed? What
should you do when they tell you to make a change in your story? Will
your book be sent to the right reviewers? How will they create a cover
that will make your book stand out on the shelf? See

MAKE YOUR WRITING COMPELLING; The written word should be powerful.
Your nonfiction should not only inform, it should move your reader to action. Too much writing explains how to do something but it does not motivate the reader to do it.
In June 1999, three Jewish synagogues in Sacramento, California, were firebombed early on a Friday morning. Two of the structures received relatively minor damage, but the third attack destroyed the 5,000-volume library at B’nai Israel. The library had been the treasure of the congregation.
That night, the Friday Sabbath Service was held in the 2,000-seat community theatre. More than 1,800 people of all faiths attended to show support. The United Methodist Church was holding a convention in town. When they heard of the firebombing, they decided to attend the Jewish service—and they took up a special offering. The Methodists presented a check for $6,000. Initially, the audience was stunned and silent; then they broke into continuous applause.
Author-publisher Alan Canton was so deeply moved, he wrote the story
eloquently and posted it to some book-publishing listservs and newsgroups
on the Internet. Readers were so motivated, they sent money and forwarded
the story on to other book friends. The message spread around the world
at the speed of email. Envelopes and checks poured in at the rate of two
and three hundred per day. Three months later, Canton had collected over
$201,000 for Congregation B’nai Israel.

Here is something funny we have found on books, writing, publishing, authors and/or words. If you have a laugh to share, please send it to DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com
A. DESIGN YOUR OWN EVIL CLOWN:

B. NUTRITION
Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills
you.
