  • I agree with you when using the word "expectation" in explaining a successful book campaign. What is the audience looking for that the book can provide? In my case when explaining the pitfalls and successes at wagering at the races I would deem it necessary that the book not only highlight the victories, but acknowledge the defeats.
  • I Would appreciate what I need to do to have a successful book campaign
  • Thank you Mrs. Campbell for this positive feed which will benefit me in the near future being a successful Author and having a great affect on my readers.
  • Thanks PJ. Great information! I am in the process of writing an allergy free cookbook and this was very helpful.
  • Don't think I heard anything I didn't know. BUT putting it to use and how to use is a compelling push to do that which I find I really prefer not to do. A kick where I need it most.
