Can the Apple tablet revive the publishing industry? That remains to be seen. Apparently Apple’s been shopping the tablet around to publishers, offering a better deal to publishers than Amazon.

Publishers talk about Apple’s tablet | 9 to 5 Mac reports:

“Apple has been pitching itself against Amazon’s model specifically to the publishers.  Apple’s ‘Agency model’ gives publishers more control and freedom for pricing vs. Amazon who’ve recently restructured a small part of their publisher offering to compete with this surge by Apple.   We received the exact same wording from both people so we think this is the type of thing that Apple is touting to all publishers.  We might hear about ‘the Agency Model’ vs. Kindle’s at the event.”

Fascinating.

Some analysts are predicting that Apple’s rumored device will sell ten million units in the first year. If so, and if the device is content-centric, then your book may indeed appear on the Apple tablet.

We live in exciting times…

Want to write a book and get it published?

You can, but you’ll need to develop your audience.

How, you ask?

Consider this article, From Anne Frank to Stephenie Meyer: The Slush Pile – WSJ.com which reports:

“Scott Belsky, a 29-year-old Web entrepreneur whose sites include ‘The 99 Percent,’ wanted to write a book on how to succeed in the creative industries. To secure representation, he approached agents with data on his Web traffic, samples of reader comments posted on the site, and the number of times various posts had been blogged about, tweeted and retweeted on social-networking site Twitter. This data convinced Jim Levine at Levine Greenberg Literary Agency to take on Mr. Belsky as a client. Mr. Levine used the information to land him a book deal. ‘Making Ideas Happen’ will be published in April by Portfolio, a division of Penguin Group.”

Anyone can write a book. But can you deliver an audience? If you can, you might just have a sale.

Will 2010 be the year you write your book and get it published?

It could be — it’s not too late to start.

Although writing a book can seem intimidating, you’ll complete your book if you take it step by step.

Start with an outline.

Your outline can just be a simple list.

Then, get a stack of index cards. Use one card per idea.

If you’re writing a novel, you could have one card for a character’s name, another card for his bio, and yet another card for a scene in your book.

If you’re writing nonfiction, write your research on index cards — one research note per card. Use cards for each idea or insight you want to include — choose yellow or blue cards for those with your own ideas. Then you can see at a glance whether a card contains research, or insights.

Once you have a stack of cards an inch high (you’ll soon have the stack if you carry your cards around with you), spread them out on a large surface, or pin them on a cork board.

You’ll soon become inspired. Then, just start writing. (Keep carrying your cards around with you, creating new cards daily.)

Index cards can seem like a low-tech solution, and they are, but they really help you to start writing, and complete your book.

I wish you all the success in the world.
