Publicity expert Dan Janal will be on the faculty for the “Publishing at Sea” seminar, the first event for independent book publishers who want to learn how to sell more books while aboard a luxury cruise ship.

 

Janal is the founder of PR LEADS, a publicity service that has helped more than 3,000 authors and speakers get publicity in daily newspapers and magazines. He is also an author and professional speaker. He can be reached at https://www.prleads.com

 

The “Publishing at Sea” seminar will sail from February 15-21, 2009 and visit exotic ports including Cozumel and Belize. Along the way, a limited number of highly qualified publishers will learn how to publish and market books more effectively in these economic times.

The “Publishing at Sea” faculty includes:

 

Brian Jud –book marketing expert

Judith Briles – book shepherding expert

Eric Kampmann, book distribution expert

Katherine Carol, transformation expert

 

“Over the week, each of the faculty will lead a session with the others contributing. This maximizes their combined expertise to give you quadruple the coaching you would get in any other workshop,” said Brian Jud. “Publishing Panache, Marketing Moxie, PR Power, Distribution Doability and Speaking Savvy will be your guaranteed take-aways and how-tos from this glorious week at Sea.” 

 

Attendance is limited to 100 publishers. Families can attend the cruise and can lounge at the pool or participate in a host of fun activities provided by the cruise company while the publisher attends the conference. Ample “family time” is built into the schedule so that publishers and their families can have a true vacation as well as learn how to grow their businesses.

 

“So roll up your sleeves and your Capri pants for the publishing event of the year and relish the fact that your friends are probably shoveling snow back home. It will fast track you as no other will,” said Jud.
