An Author's No. 1 Skill Besides Writing - video

Co-authors Sam Barry and Kathi Kamen Goldmark share their opinions about how to be successful in publishing. Besides being a great writer, marketing, publicity, and editing are important. But the most important non-writing skill authors need to be successful in self-publishing is graciousness and good manners. Too many authors become arrogant and defensive in the publishing industry. Barry and Goldmark argue that authors who are thankful to publishers, editors, and the public will succeed in the publishing world.
