Can I buy your books in the bookstores?

Yes, absolutely! They're available in all bookstores within Australia, if you can't see them, ask the book buyer to get a copy in for you - and if you still can't get hold of them (which is incredibly rare!) let me know and I'll get one to you!

How do I get a website that doesn't cost the earth?

The only way I have found is to buy your domain name ie; www.RachaelBermingham.com for the low cost of approx $20AUD and then link it to a blog site which costs nothing! The link for this is at www.blogger.com it's fairly basic but is a terrific way to start and with some creativity you can have it looking really nice. In addition to this you can link a payment system up to your site (also free) called www.paypal.com.au which will take credit card payments for your products - how easy is that?! It's self explainatory - a little bit of reading is required but you'll be happy you took the time. I've never had any computer training and I managed to weave my way through the free blog site, getting the domain linked and the pay pal system within 4 hours. Just so you know, now that I've got some income coming in, I've upgraded to a purpose built site that is a little more professional but I can still update and change things at any given time without waiting for a web designer to do it for me which I love.

How do I go about Copyrighting the contents of my book?

It is best to see a solicitor who works in this field as there is many things to consider regarding copyrighting issues. Try doing a google search for a solicitor who is well versed in this field or hop on the phone and call around. IP (Inteliecutal Property) is always a very tricky subject and is best left to the experts in that field.

What is the best way to source media contacts?

You can purchase all the contacts you need at www.mediaguide.com.au it's invaluable to any marketing both for books and for business.
