Friday’s upcoming events for authors

Join me next Wednesday on an exclusive Published & Profitable interview when I interview Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Influence Our Decisions. Dan’s book has been a bestseller since its appearance in February. Predictably Irrational continues to be in the Top 100 overall books at Amazon, as well as a Top 10 leader in various psychology categories.

During my interview, we’ll be discussing the lessons Predictably Irrational teaches about the human brain and their implications for business owners and marketers. We’ll also explore the way that bestselling books are planned, written, and promoted, as well as the changes they bring their authors.

Dan Ariely and I will discuss Predictably Irrational’s success from the point of view of Published & Profitable’s 4-step structure:

• Plan. When was the Predictably Irrational title finalized? What other titles were considered? Did he use a particular book proposal format?
