Reading and Q&A with Eli Gottlieb by Lighthouse Writers
The Business Unconventional "book club" continues its exploration of the business skills required by successful book authors. On this segment, the final of three related segments, guest moderator Cathy Langer and three successful authors share insights that aspiring authors can use to help them along their journey, including the question of how to connect with a good book agent. Cathy is the head book buyer at Colorado's famed Tattered Cover Bookstore. Joining her in this conversation are Nick Arvin, author of The Reconstructionist; Erin Blakemore, author of The Heroine's Bookshelf; and Eli Gottlieb, author of The Face Thief. B. Unconventional airs each Sunday morning at 8 a.m. (MST) on 710 KNUS in Denver. The program, hosted by David Biondo and Dean Rotbart, is also streamed over the Internet at www.710KNUS.com.

Cathy Langer, head book buyer for the Tattered Cover Bookstore, moderates a panel featuring three success authors in a discussion of the business skills required to be a "Literary CEO." Joining Cathy in the 710 KNUS AM studios are Nick Arvin, author of The Reconstructionist, and Erin Blakemore, author of The Heroine's Bookshelf. Also participating by phone from New York is Eli Gottlieb, author of The Face Thief. As co-hosts David Biondo and Dean Rotbart point out, writing and successfully publishing a book is very much a business - requiring many of the same skills that any successful entrepreneur must master. Do you have the right product line (subject matter)? How much will it cost to produce (time, lost opportunities, out-of-pocket expenses)? What's your marketing plan (if no one buys the book, then what)? Do you have the self-discipline and dedication to see the project through? What type of team do you need to assemble to get the job done (agent, publisher, PR, editor, etc.)? This is the second of three related segments.
