Wellspring Publicity | Select Few

Good books always beget Good publicity. This goes hand in hand with our firm belief that Publicity can be a force of good if executed properly and repetitively. Wellspring Publicity support talented Authors achieve recognition using Publicity as a step to a wellspring success.

The books we represent are but rare finds that surpassed the rigorous scrutiny of critiques. Wellspring Publicity is committed to deliver - unidentified written works of art - more mileage on readability and book market share.

We take your business seriously, therefore we would like to set the right expectations. Most certainly success cannot be achieve overnight. Each campaign is different. And so is every client. When you work with us, we will create a thoughtful, customized media plan that fits your unique brand identity and unique book advertising platform. It’s not just about how – it’s about how, and where and when we strategically develop your brand narrative.We would rather not do business with someone than take their money and then fail to meet expectations.

What is our acceptable standards and how we based our criteria for qualifying books?

Good books always beget Good publicity and attention. If you are reading this now this means you are ahead of class. Writers, you see, are a peculiar breed and like nothing more than waxing grandly, at times even eloquently, about their craft. It is a disease, and a pleasant one.

However, if you were to leave that question with the writer and allow him—or her—to ponder it for a day or so, then the response will be more considered, more widely ranging, and more likely to find echoes in the responses of other writers. For the record, this is what one writer sees as the qualities of an A-grade book, a book that says, “Hey, take me,” and then turns and takes the reader, body, mind and soul.

Such a book, the book that will possess you, must first of all have an exceptional story to tell. And what makes a story exceptional? Several things. Firstly, it will be a story that is capable of capturing the interest of a wide range of readers; a story that captivates. Secondly, it must hold the interest of every reader it captures, an interest that will grow with the turning of the pages and, quite possibly, mourn the passing of the last. Thirdly, it will be a story that resonates with at least some part of every reader, a resonance that will bond with a thought here, an experience there, a fear or a fancy, so that each reader can find a piece of himself or herself on the pages and be moved to say, ‘Spot on!’ Fourthly, the story—even if it is an ordinary story of an ordinary person—will shine with the telling and the reader will not see the ordinariness, but will marvel at its lively transformation, at its coming-to-life. Finally (to cut a long story short), an exceptional story will never age, but will live from generation to generation and—if it is truly exceptional—will spawn a yearning for a time that once was but which has now gone forever.

Secondly, an A-grade book will tell its exceptional story in an exceptional way. We are now getting into the more indeterminate aspects of writing because it is not always a simple thing to explain why a particular piece of writing is exceptional. However, the reader will know it when she sees it, and the writer when he strikes it. A light comes on, or a bell sounds, and a deep satisfaction infuses you as though you have sipped fine wine: satisfaction at having written it; satisfaction at recognising it. It is where the writer and the reader meet on the page and shake each other by the hand if they are English, or hug if they are Latin, and say, ‘How very nice to meet you; I hope we shall see a great deal more of each other.’

Lastly, an A-grade book is one which will isolate the reader from everything else and move with him or her through an enchanted place, at times quickly and at times slowly, but ever moving. And when the journey ends there is always a pause, a moment of reflection, perhaps even regret, before the reader steps from the book into his other life, his ordinary life. But the journey has been worth it, and the reader is the richer for it. Now, that was a good book.Between you, me and a wondering world, I wish that I had written it.

4.1 Content Rejection and Removal
We may, in our sole discretion, at any time, and without notice to you (a) reject Content; or (b) remove, or refuse to list or distribute any Content on or from any Amazon E-Store, Amazon Property or other sales channel. You will remain liable for all fees and other amounts that you may owe under this Agreement in connection with any Title or Promotional Clip we remove because of a violation of this Agreement or our Content Guidelines. You may withdraw your Content from the Services at any time, but we will have 30 days from the date of a Title's withdrawal (or termination of this Agreement) to remove such Title; provided, however, that we may fulfill any Customer orders pending as of the date we remove such Title from the Services. If we request that you provide additional information relating to your Content, such as information confirming that you have all rights required to permit our distribution of the Content, you represent and warrant that any information and documentation you provide to us in response to such a request will be current, complete, and accurate. You authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider appropriate to verify your rights to permit out distribution of the Content and the accuracy of the information or documentation you provide to us with respect to those rights.
4.2 Pricing; Legal Title
We or our affiliate will be the seller of record for each physical product of your Title, for each purchase (for sale or rental) of a digital copy of your Title via Amazon Video On Demand, and for each purchase (for sale only) of a digital copy of your Title via Amazon MP3 (in each case, each, a "Unit") to a customer (each, a "Customer") we or our affiliate sells through any Amazon E-Store, Amazon Property or other sales channel. You acknowledge that you have no input or control over the price at which your Titles are sold on the Amazon Properties. You will provide a List Price for each Title (except for audio Titles to be distributed solely through Amazon MP3), which will be at or below (a) the price at which you list or offer that title via any other sales channel; and (b) the price at which you sell such title in physical form to customers through any distribution method. For the purpose of this Agreement, "List Price" means the list price that you submit to us per individual Title. Please note that you may update the List Price for your Titles at any time in accordance with the Submission Requirements, but it may take as long as 30 days for the list price on the Amazon Properties to be updated.
4.3 Customer Returns and Refunds
We will determine how to handle Customer returns of Units, which may include, without limitation (a) in the case of physical Units, placing the returned copy of the Unit into inventory and reselling it to another Customer, in which case we will have no obligation to pay you any Content License Royalty for the resale of such Unit (because we paid, or will pay, you for the original sale of such Unit); or (b) destroying the Unit and calculating amounts due to you net of the Content License Royalty we previously paid for the destroyed return. We reserve the right to prohibit returns under any circumstances (or to impose any other restrictions on returns) with respect to sales or rentals (if applicable) of electronically formatted Units. If a Unit is returned and we have already paid you a Content License Royalty on the returned Unit, we may offset the amount of the Content License Royalty we previously paid you for that returned Unit against future Content License Royalty, or require you to remit to us the amount of the Content License Royalty we paid to you for the returned Unit.
5. Fees; Taxes
5.1 Fees
You will pay us all applicable fees, as specified in our Price List.
For each Unit sold to a Customer through Amazon MP3, we will pay you the applicable Content License Royalty set forth in the pricing page within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Unit was sold for download via Amazon MP3.
For each Unit sold to a Customer (other than Units sold via Amazon MP3), we will pay you the applicable Content License Royalty based on the List Price of the Unit: (a) within 31 days after the end of the month in which the Unit sold for physical Units sold through the Amazon E-Stores and the Amazon Properties; (b) within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Unit is sold for physical Units sold through the Expanded Distribution Channel; and (c) within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Unit was rented or sold for download via Amazon Video On Demand.
All amounts contemplated in this Agreement will be expressed and displayed in U.S. dollars, and all payments contemplated by this Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars. If you are unable to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”) payments, we will pay by check, but we may charge a per check fee and accrue and withhold payments until the total amount due meets a minimum dollar threshold. Since EFT is not yet available for non-U.S. bank accounts, we do not apply this fee for international content providers that do not have a U.S. bank account. If you have amounts payable hereunder upon the termination of this Agreement, then we may set off such amounts against any payment then payable to you, or you will immediately pay any such amounts. For purposes of calculating your Content License Royalty, a sale of a Unit will be deemed to have taken place at the time that we or our affiliate (a) ships a physical Unit printed on demand; or (b) fulfills an electronic Unit via Amazon Video On Demand or Amazon MP3.
If we reasonably conclude based on information available to us that your actions and/or performance in connection with this Agreement may result in disputes, chargebacks or other claims, then we may, in our sole discretion, delay initiating any remittances and withhold any payments to be made or that are otherwise due to you in connection with this Agreement for the shorter of: (a) a period of 90 days following the initial date of suspension; or (b) completion of any investigation(s) regarding any of your actions and/or performance in connection with this Agreement. We will not be liable to you if we act in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
All statements and other accountings will be conclusive, final and binding, unless you give us written notice stating the specific basis for objection within one year after the date the payment was rendered. You will not maintain any action or proceeding against us or our affiliates in respect of any disputed statement unless you commence that action or suit against us within 6 months following the date that you provide us with the written notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
5.2 Bad Debt
We will be entitled to an adjustment to payments made to you for any amounts ultimately not collected because of fraudulent credit card use or bad debt, in an amount equal to the payment otherwise payable to you in connection with such purchase.
5.3 Taxes
5.3.1 Payments to You.
For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "Transaction Taxes" means sales/use, value added, or transaction taxes and other charges such as duties, customs and government imposed surcharges. You will be responsible for determining taxes you owe on payments you receive under this Agreement. To the extent payments to you are subject to any Transaction Taxes, (a) payment includes all applicable Transaction Taxes, and (b) you may supply us with a valid tax invoice separately stating such Transaction Taxes. In return, we will provide you with any applicable exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing authority that we possess, in which case you will not collect the Transaction Taxes covered by such certificate. If any other taxes (for example, international withholding taxes) are required to be withheld on any payment, we will deduct such taxes from the amount otherwise owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority.
5.3.2 Your Payments to Us.
All fees payable by you to us pursuant to this Agreement exclude Transaction Taxes. In addition to amounts owed by you pursuant to this Agreement, you will pay us any Transaction Taxes we are required to collect on such fees. If we charge you Transaction Taxes, you may provide us with a valid exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case we will not collect the Transaction Taxes covered by such certificate. All fees payable by you to us under this Agreement will be made without setoff and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future tax.
6. Licenses; Ownership; Feedback
6.1 Content
Subject to the following paragraph, you grant to us a nonexclusive license, during the term of this Agreement, to (a) create digital versions of Content you provide in nondigital format; (b) create a digitized version of the Content that we will use to create a Unit (each, a "Source File") and, if applicable (for music and video only), a nearly lossless digital file (a "Future-Proof Archive File") using your Content; (c) with respect to Books, print, publish, distribute and sell you Book through the Amazon E-stores, the Amazon Properties and other sales channels, (d) reformat, reproduce, and distribute your Content through the Amazon E-Stores, the Amazon Properties, and other sales channels in digital form on physical media, (e) reformat for online delivery, reproduce and distribute your Content through the Amazon Properties in digital form via Amazon Video On Demand or Amazon MP3, as applicable, subject to content usage rules that are in accordance with Section 6.2 below; (f) create Promotional Clips from your video and audio Content, provided that we will only create Promotional Clips upon your request for Titles not distributed through Amazon Video On Demand or Amazon MP3; (g) distribute, display, transmit, perform and use the Promotional Clips (if any) and the Descriptive Materials for promotional purposes; and (h) create Packaging Materials from the Descriptive Materials.
We may broadly integrate the Descriptive Materials into the Amazon Properties, and they may appear in several places on the Amazon Properties. By way of example and not limitation, the Descriptive Materials may appear on product detail pages, in search results, in customer browsing and buying history, and in routine, automated and community-driven merchandising features such as recommendations and "Listmania." Our use of the Descriptive Materials may become integral to the Amazon Properties throughout the term of this Agreement and will continue beyond the term of this Agreement even though we will no longer produce or sell new Units after the term of this Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for Descriptive Materials and Promotional Clips, the license you grant us in Section 6.1(g) will be perpetual and royalty-free. For preprinted inventory of your Units, we may distribute and sell your Units through the Amazon Properties and other channels until we have sold all Units that we created during the term of this Agreement.
For video and audio Titles, we may use text from the Content, including creating or using closed caption text or transcripts, as the basis for returning search results to visitors to the Amazon Site and to display excerpts of such text to illustrate the relevance of the search result.
You agree that we and our affiliates may include your written Titles in the Look Inside!™ program, which enables visitors to view, search, and "page browse" through your written Titles. Accordingly, for each of your written Titles you hereby grant us permission, on a nonexclusive, perpetual basis, to (x) reproduce and store the entirety of each Title in digital form on one or more computer facilities of or under the control of us or our affiliates or our independent contractors; and (y) to display portions of each Title on the Amazon Properties so that a user will be able to (i) use queries to locate, select and display excerpts that include the search terms for every occurrence of the search terms; and (ii) view a limited number of pages within a Title during any single session.
You further grant us permission to cause such transmission, reproduction and other use of the Content as mere technological incidents to and for the limited purpose of technically enabling the rights licensed to us under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, caching to enable display and transfer and encoding supplemental copies of Titles in alternate formats). So long as we pay you the applicable Content License Royalty upon the manufacture of your Book, we may print a reasonable number of copies of any Book to hold in our inventory. We may destroy inventory at any time without obligation to you.
6.2 Digital Content Usage Rules
Our affiliate may establish, from time to time, in its sole discretion, content usage rules governing the use, by Amazon Video On Demand Customers, of Units sold or rented via Amazon Video On Demand, which content usage rules will establish, among other things, the number of devices to which a Customer will be entitled to download a Unit in connection with a single purchase of a Unit and the time period within which a Customer may view Units rented from Amazon Video On Demand. Such rules may, without limitation, (a) permit Customers to download multiple copies of Units for simultaneous use on multiple devices; and (b) permit Customers who have purchased your Units during the term of this Agreement to re-download them from Amazon Video On Demand, from time to time, both during and after the term of this Agreement. In addition, our affiliate may establish, from time to time, in its sole discretion, content usage rules governing the use, by Amazon MP3 Customers, of Units sold via Amazon MP3.
6.3 Virtual Storage; Digital Rights Management
Amazon Video On Demand Customers may be permitted to "store" Content that they have purchased for sale or rental via Amazon Video On Demand ("Virtual Storage") if they wish to do so in lieu of keeping copies on their own computers. Customers may re-download previously purchased Content from Virtual Storage from time to time. Our affiliate may elect, in its sole discretion, to either utilize or not utilize third-party digital rights management software ("DRM") in connection with the distribution of your Units (for sale or rental) via Amazon Video On Demand. In the event any DRM is used in connection with your Units, you acknowledge that neither we nor our affiliate has the ability to control any such DRM, makes no representations as to the efficacy of any such DRM, and cannot and will not be responsible for any failure of any such DRM, including, without limitation, any failure of such DRM to enforce the content usage rules described on the Products pages. You will not utilize DRM in any Content that will be distributed by us through Amazon MP3, and you understand that our affiliate will not utilize DRM in connection with any distribution of your Units through Amazon MP3.

8.2 Maintenance of Rights
You will not do anything to intentionally prejudice the rights granted hereunder, but in the event that you lose any rights or other licenses, consents or permissions relating to a specific Title that are necessary for you to grant the rights you grant to us hereunder, or you receive notice of a third-party claim relating to a Title which you reasonably deem to be of concern, you will immediately remove such Title from our Services.

A literary agent (often synonymous with "publishing agent") is an agent who represents writers and their written works to publishers, theatrical producers and film producers and assists in the sale and deal negotiation of the same. Literary agents most often represent novelists, screenwriters and major non-fiction writers. They are paid a fixed percentage (ten to twenty percent; fifteen percent is usual) of the proceeds of sales they negotiate on behalf of their clients.

Web Design Service

2011-07-21T23:15:00.000-07:00

Many people maintain personal web pages because they are the most effective medium to express their opinions or creative endeavours that, otherwise, simply would not have an outlet. This type of site may contain short fiction such as short stories or samples of artwork. Other netizens view the concept of a personal web page with a more metaphysical bent, placing value in the concept of owning space in and "residing" in cyberspace and on the World Wide Web. Some people also make a website in hopes of becoming famous on the internet. This can also extend to the ownership of personal domain names and the associated personal web pages and e-mail addresses connected to those domains, although with the advent of affordable web hosting fewer people own or manage their own personal servers.

In the past, a personal home page would usually be hosted on free web space included with an ISP account, or on a free hosting service such as Geocities. These services would typically include web-based site management and pre-configured scripts to easily integrate a contact form or guestbook into the user's site. Since the early 2000s, the rise of bloggingeased the creation of personal web pages further, with blogging platforms like LiveJournal and Blogger providing an attractive and easy-to-use CMS. While blogging remains popular, today many casual internet users tend to rely on free services provided by social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace to perform the same functions they used to maintain a personal web page for.

Publicity Consultation

2011-07-21T23:08:00.000-07:00

Communication and perseverance between an author and his or her publicist are key to the success of a book marketing campaign. Marketing a book in today’s changing and shifting marketplace can be very challenging, especially with as many as 90,000 books published each month in the USA alone, and with that number growing steadily each year.

A good working relationship between an author and his publicist needs to be established right up front - - since so much emotional energy is tied up in an author’s work, which needs to be well communicated to the media representative. The laborious perseverance of a professional book publicist blossoms when it is combined with an artful balance of patience and continued with daily input from the book’s creator.

I have developed a handful of useful tips the author needs to always bear in mind when decide to engage the services of a professional publicist. The publicist should know the media well and can map out a plan in writing, with a free phone consultation before the author even decides to move forward. If followed, these tips will surely increase the likelihood of a successful marketing campaign that will both boost book sales and also expand the awareness and perception of the author and his or her works.

• Input and planning: The author and the publicist need to have a clear plan of attack mapped out in advance before embarking on their PR journey together. Authors need to be mindful to keep their publicist informed of any ideas they too have to publicize their book since it’s their creation and no one is closer to it then they are. Authors need to give the plan time to fulfill itself and work; and never, ever should an author be “pushy” with their publicist who understands and knows the media much better than his client does.

Pushiness and impatience can derail a good plan. Authors need to make sure their book publicist keeps them informed regularly of what is being done as their carefully crafted plan on paper plays itself out. An author can certainly suggest media the publicist can contact on their behalf too, especially if, for instance, a CNN or Fox News story might be relevant to the author’s book’s theme or message. A well played out and thoughtful, strategic campaign is one that will up the chances for success with media outreach and book sales too.

E-mail Marketing Blast

2011-07-21T23:03:00.000-07:00

Email marketing is a form of direct marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fund-raising messages to an audience. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. However, the term is usually used to refer to:
sending email messages with the purpose of enhancing the relationship of a merchant with its current or previous customers, to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business,
sending email messages with the purpose of acquiring new customers or convincing current customers to purchase something immediately,
adding advertisements to email messages sent by other companies to their customers, and
sending email messages over the Internet, as email did and does exist outside the Internet (e.g., network email and FIDO).
Researchers estimate that United States firms alone spent US $400 million on email marketing in 2006.

Press Release Campaign

2011-07-21T22:54:00.000-07:00

A press release, news release, media release, press statement or video release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something ostensibly newsworthy. Typically, they are mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks. Commercial press release distribution services are also used.
The use of press releases is common in the field of public relations (PR). Typically, the aim is to attract favorable media attention to the PR professional's client and/or provide publicity for products or events marketed by those clients. A press release provides reporters with an information subsidy containing the basics needed to develop a news story. Press releases can announce a range of news items, such as scheduled events, personal promotions, awards, new products and services, sales and other financial data, accomplishments, etc. They are often used in generating a feature story or are sent for the purpose of announcing news conferences, upcoming events or a change in corporation.
A press statement is information supplied to reporters. This is an official announcement or account of a news story that is specially prepared and issued to newspapers and other news media for them to make known to the public.

Book Signing Campaign

2011-07-21T22:47:00.000-07:00

Book signing is the affixing of a signature to the title page or flyleaf of a book by its author. A book signing is an event, usually at a bookstore or library where an author sits and signs books for a period of time.Book signing is popular because an author's signature increases the value of books for collectors. The author may add a short message to the reader, called a dedication, to each book, which may be personalized with the recipient's name upon request. A simple author's signature without a dedication is typically more valuable to collectors (exceptions include inscriptions to persons of note, e.g. from Hemingway to Fitzgerald, or to persons of significance in the author's life). Many authors today spend a great deal of time signing their books, and sign many thousands of copies. James Ellroy is known for signing every copy of the 65,000 strong first run of My Dark Places.
Book signings provide more than a just a chance to obtain signatures. Authors and bookstores are benefited by the fact that many copies of the book being promoted are sold. Signings also increase public goodwill and allow authors to connect with their fans. For fans, signings give them a chance to see and meet a favorite author and ask them questions.

Sometimes the author will sign additional copies for future sale. An additional advantage for authors for doing this is that once a book has been signed, it cannot be returned to the publisher for a refund.
