Antoinette Kuritz firmly believes that whenever a door closes, it is because we are poised to open another. As a lover of written words and the authors who wrote them Antoinette taught 5th grade through high school. A toxic injury in 1991 led her out of the classroom and into a bookstore – where she went in short order from bookseller to event planner and developed a reputation among authors that soon led to her becoming a literary publicist. Seeing the changes coming in the publishing industry, she added book developer to her resume and soon thereafter founded the La Jolla Writers Conference. Now in its nineteenth year, the conference has been called by Writer’s Digest one of the 84 conferences in the country worth the money. Simultaneously, she also hosted Writers Roundtable radio show for eight years, has been the Book Lady on KUSI-TV Good Morning San Diego for 20 years, and created Nightstand Press.

Most people want to write a book.  Now that there is self publishing it seems like anyone and everyone can call themselves an "author". However, just because you wrote a book doesn't mean you are making money with your book,  In Episode 14 of AND we interview Antoinette Kuritz Author, Publicist, Speaker, Co-Owner of Strategies Literary Development and Public Relations, (www.strategiespr.com) and Founder of the La Jolla Writer's Conference.  Antoinette talks to us about the real business of writing books and discusses the hard facts of what it takes to be successful. She also discusses why your book probably is never going to be seen by a traditional publisher, why most people never sell more than 50 books, and the things you should know before you even consider writing a book. With well over a million new books published last year (over 10 times the number just 5 years ago) … the growth of the book industry has also spawned the growth of less-than-expert-experts as well as out-and-out book-crooks. For over two decades, Antoinette Kuritz,  Book Developer, Publisher, Media Coach, Author, and Founder of the LaJolla Writers Conference, has made it her business to assist writers of all levels get their words into print while avoiding the rip-offs in the new world of traditional, electronic and self publishing. In 2001, as a labor of love, she founded the annual LaJolla Writers Conference, paying it forward by teaching the Art, Craft, and Business of writing to aspiring and established authors of all levels. So, if, as the survey says, 80% of Americans believe they have a book in them, and almost anyone can now “publish” a book, what will it take to get your words out, and make them stand out?  

Intro: Have you ever thought about writing a book? Are you one of the many people who have a started manuscript â?? or several started manuscripts â?? but just canâ??t seem to finish one? Or have you finished a book and now have no idea of how to get it published? A 2002 survey by The Jenkins Group showed that more than 81% of Americans have a book in them. If you are one of the millions of Americans who are either writing a book â?? or thinking about writing a book, Antoinette Kuritz, Book Developer, Publicist, Media Coach, Author, Publishing Expert and Founder of the LaJolla Writers Conference is here with a few tips from behind the book cover. Tips: Define what you want to write. Doing this provides focus to your writing. Fiction or non-fiction? If itâ??s fiction, what genre? Romance, suspense, mystery? If itâ??s non-fiction, self-help, inspiration, a cook book? Know what you want to write. Determine your reading audience. Adults or young adults, middle graders or pre-schoolers. Men or women? Boys or girls? Or both? Knowing who your reading audience is helps determine the length of the book, the format, the vocabulary, and it further focuses your writing. Make and take the time to write. With our oh-so-busy lives, this may be the most difficult thing to do. We tend to keep our day jobs and write second shift, and then we feel guilty about time taken from our family or significant other. But if you want to be a writer, you have to take this time, give yourself permission to do so. Be consistent. Set aside a specific time on specific days that are dedicated to your writing, and then use that time to write. In short, keep to a schedule. A page a day means a book in a year. Create a writing space for yourself. Whether you write at the local coffee house, in your office after hours, or in the pantry of your house, make a space for yourself that you associate with writing, where you can keep your notes, even put up a story board or chapter headings â?? someplace that reminds you of the task at hand. Join a writers group. Accountability is often the difference between someone who writes and someone who wants to write. And joining a writerâ??s group means weekly or bi-weekly accountability â?? the need to have a certain number of pages done by a certain point. Be willing to take editorial advice. This is often the hardest thing for aspiring authors â?? taking advice about their manuscript. But know that even the manuscripts of hugely successful writers go through several edits before they are published. Choose and attend a great writerâ??s conference. Great writerâ??s conferences help you hone your craft, teach you about the business, and provide invaluable contacts. If you seek to traditionally publish, they get you in front of agents and editors, and even successful writers who will give you a leg up. If you want to self-publish, they help you understand the process and know what to look for in your publishing team. In short, a great conference can help you avoid all the pitfalls and can help jumpstart your writing career.

Who's on first!  What's on Second! I don't know is on third. Perhaps the best written and remembered comedic skit of all time, performed by the greats Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, this is a great description to the confusion, misinformation and outright fraud that is now part and parcel of the newly democratized world of publishing. Now that you've joined the 80% of Americans who think they have a book in them, you had better learn the game before you get up to bat! Continuing with the baseball metaphor:  Self-Publishing and the internet certainly opened the gate for you to get onto the field, but the tenfold increase in published books has also helped the crooks, so the publishing game just got bigger—not easier!

At the top of the hour he speaks with Antoinette KurItz about the changing literary industry followed at the bottom of the hour by Dr. Maria Miller.

Over 1.5 million new books were published in 2012 — over 10 times the number in 2007. 80% of Americans say they have a book inside them. If so, who will buy them? Why is one book a success and another just a paperweight? With each turn of a page, the changes in the publishing industry create new opportunities, yet still demand the basics as well as innovation. If you want to know how to make your book a success story, ask the woman who built a business of making book success stories possible.
