		<title>What Business Book Publishers Look For in an Author</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are involved in the business world, you know that things have gotten a lot tougher in recent years. The housing crisis, which persists to this day, along with the great recession that began in late 2008, have conspired against the business book world in a big way. In today&#8217;s challenging economy, sans Border&#8217;s, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Business Book Publishing and the Stock Market Have in Common</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you follow the stock market closely enough you know that today&#8217;s market is a study in volatility. But that wasn&#8217;t always the case. When I bought my first stock in 1974&#8212;Gulf Resources at 14 1/4&#8212;only about 15 percent of American households were invested in the market, and trading volumes were anemic. Markets were sleepy. That changed a decade later. By the late 1980&#8242;s, despite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literary Agents Level the Playing Field</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, I have had the good fortune to be in the publishing world for almost exactly 30 years. And not only in the publishing world, but in the business book part of the publishing world. For 27 of those 30 years I have worked with such great publishing houses as McGraw-Hill, Dow Jones-Irwin, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ghostwriter Needed?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have learned that there are many great potential authors who can use some help on the writing side. I found this is especially true in the business book category. Great business minds are usually so focused on their passion (e.g. investing, leading) that writing may not be at the top of their skill set. In fact, some [...]]]></description>

		<title>BESTSELLER: How Many Copies Do You Have to Sell to Become a Bestseller?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year I wrote what became my most popular posting ever&#8212;entitled &#8220;How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller?&#8221; Since then, remarkably, people in more than 54 countries have googled &#8221;bestseller&#8221; and have found that posting. Today I want to shed more light into that all-so-elusive bestseller space. Since my specialty is business books, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Literary Business Off to a Great Start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been too long since you last heard from me but that&#8217;s only because my writing and agenting business has been going so well.  I have been working like a dog in my one-year-old-plus company, and I am delighted to report that things could not be much better.

		<title>A New Business Model and a New Bestseller?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every so often a literary agent gets the chance to represent a book that is so unique in every way that it is a privilege to represent. Last week I was given the opportunity to handle such a property. However, I must confess, that I did not  immediately &#8220;get&#8221; the book, largely because it breaks most every [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Publishing Outlook for 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must forewarn you that I am an optimist at heart and always will be.  However, I am also a pragmatist and have learned that &#8220;facing reality&#8221; is one of the most important business philosophies if one is to succeed. That said, I believe 2010 is going to be a very good year for business books. 2009 [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Killer Book Proposal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most common question I get from first time (0r even second time) authors  focuses on how the publishing process works:  How do I get started?
