Try putting small ads in magazines devoted to writers and poets.
I know that I myself can’t answer this question, but I know a wonderful website that you can visit. It is. She’s got great resources listed here.
who is publishing your books? Ask the company for 30% of everyone you refer to them.
I think it would be more profitable selling ebooks. You can get more info on making and selling ebooks at:
You basically want to become a book publishing agent, where authors would come to you and you help them get published. Your role as an agent would be to make the process of finding a publisher for writers easier, faster, and hopefully, more lucrative.
You help writers craft better book proposals, you pitch the proposals to publishers and you help negotiate the deal between the writer and publisher.
Literary agents have different ways to earn. Typically, they earn by commission basis (often 15 percent) on the books they sell and everything relating to that book, such as excerpted magazine articles, audio tapes and films (but not speeches and personal appearances). Agents usually receive 20 percent for overseas sales. Some agents charge reading fees just for looking at book proposal, and many charge for the costs incurred in making the deal happen (e.g. photocopying costs, telephone costs, etc) over and above the 15% commission.
Other types of agents charge by the hour the work they do on author’s proposal - from reading the book proposal to marketing the proposal. So even if they failed to get a publisher interested in the book and publish the book, they get paid for the hourly work done for the prospective author.
The best is to start a website that gives information on that topic.
