I'm just going to say what I was thinking for the first five minutes of the video and thought of again at the end... the accent contrast in this video made it really fun to watch.

I'm from the US, but for some reason the American accent seemed so foreign to me in this video- though i hear and speak it everyday. That's when I realized that now ,after watching 60 episodes of GPTV, all thoughts of mine pertaining to my book resound in my head with an australian accent.

It accidentally came out recently in conversation when I said "The most important idea is summed up in the phrase 'Don't think book; think book series.'"

Thank you Dale for the advice about creating a test market
and for flavoring my literary thoughts with an awesome Aussie Aria,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Usman

I had been searching on YouTube for videos about writing a book. I watched a few that were okay, and then I found one of your videos...it was one of two videos where you were speaking to an audience about publishing. From there I looked for more videos with you in them and I found your website through Google.com.

As for a favorite video? Book titles, gift ideas (bonuses) and cover design are the ones that stand out in my mind. I hadn't thought of customizing the cover for a particular company or group. I couldn't pick just one video. Your personality and content, along with the thought and effort you put into your videos, is what keeps me coming back.

Lots of good information in this episode as well as all of your other episodes. I have watched quite a number of them since I stumbled upon your show, a mere 48 hours ago. I am looking forward to each new episode this coming week. Your show has given me new ideas on how to go about publishing a book, such as digital publishing, which I had read a little about previously but hadn't really considered too seriously. You have a great wealth of information and the time and effort you put into each episode is appreciated. I have more than a hundred ideas for both fiction and nonfiction works written down and saved for future reference. I just need to find the one I'm most passionate about and get to it. So many have told me I have a book in me because of my experiences thus vfar in life and I would love to share my personality and thoughts as well as research with many others. But thanks to you for all that you do for those of us who are apiring and up-and-coming authors.

Good ideas in this show. I'm going to add "Write the Perfect Book Proposal" to my list of books to read as it looks like a great help at that stage of publishing. I also very much agree with starting to get a fan base growing of a book that a writer is just beginning to write or is almost finished. Of course the sooner the better. I myself have just started a blog, but only have one posting so far. Gotta start somewhere though. And now I'm off to check out thelimboyears.com. See you again Dale, and give my thanks to Gina for all the great information.
