You are one of the lucky ones. A publisher was found that was willing to give you a shot at the brass ring by turning your idea into a book. You spent hours on research. And you spent even more hours worrying over every word written. Now your book is being sold on Amazon and in book stores.
Is that it? Do you sit back and wait for the interview requests and checks? 
On today's program America's storyteller author Jim Hinckley visits with Steve Roth, Senior Marketing Manager at Quarto Publishing, to discuss the ins and outs, and the authors role, in promotion and marketing.
