Welcome to the Book Marketing group on Google, hosted by Tom Britt. I've been in the publishing business since the late 1980's and seen the impact of the Internet on publishing, distribution, e-commerce, and marketing. While I have been traveling all over the country speaking at writers' conferences for AuthorHouse, I noticed that there is a huge digital divide that exists for authors and writers. Many writers know that they need to do more online, but don't know where to start and definately don't have the time to "catch up" on what they have missed over the last 10 years. My goal is to educate you all, share tips, and get feedback from you on what works, what doesn't, and what is coming over the horizon. Think of what Amazon.com did for the book industry. Now think of what YouTube.com is going to do to the movie industry. It's exciting, so join our group and share your stories with all of us!
