About Yvonne DiVita

My friends call me The Book Whisperer. I'm a Book Coach and Author advisor. I help entrepreneurs and successful business professionals put their story into a book. A book that matters. That leaves a legacy. That creates community. That helps build business and invites more speaking opportunities. A book that builds authority. I’m a writer. An author. An advisor. A former book publisher. In 2015, I was awarded the title of Woman of the Year in the Women in the Pet Industry Network. It was the most wonderful accolade and highest honor I have ever received! My favorite saying is: "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." Elinor Smith, Aviator

the power of a blogging book tour for authors

The Power of a Blogging or Virtual Book Tour

Look carefully at the blogs and podcasts. To measure authority, check their Google page rank. Look at their sites and measure the comments and engagement. Visit their social channels and review their postings and engagement. Your goal is to determine their value and to get a hint of both who their audience is and how engaged they are. You want engagement!

An image of an open book, above which are the words "Why write a book if there is no one to read it? All the effort for ... yourself? No. All that effort, time, and investment are worth it because every book has readers. Every book has its place in the library."

Readers, Book Clubs, Bloggers and How to Find Them

Book promotion is not a thing of afternoons. It’s a t thing of now, today, every day. But one way to make it easier on yourself is to find groups of people to promote to, all at once.

An image of an open book with gold and silver coins stacked on top of it. Text over the image reads "Money Making Opportunities for Your Published Book: Your book cannot work for you if you don't have a strategy and a plan for it to do so." It is attached to an article on money making opportunities for authors.

Money Making Opportunities from Your Published Book

Books are treasures, to be sure, but earning a living as a writer, or building a business using your authorship as a marketing tool, is why you wrote the book in the first place. I am quite sure you didn’t plan to write it or put it up for sale (on Amazon and your website and Barnes & Noble online, and so many other places) just for your own pleasure.

A photo of a Black mother and child reading a book together. A quote about Black History Month books from the post, positioned next to the photo reads, "This is a month of celebration but also a month to contemplate the history of Black people in America. A history that is both beautiful and terrifying. Full of joy and laughter, and tears and sorrow. It seems best that we begin to learn more about it by reading."

BLACK HISTORY MONTH BOOKS: A Reading List for Your Bedside Stand … or anywhere else

Ailey is reared in the north in the City but spends summers in the small Georgia town of Chicasetta, where her mother’s family has lived since their ancestors arrived from Africa in bondage. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle for belonging that’s made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of women—her mother, Belle, her sister, Lydia, and a maternal line reaching back two centuries—that urge Ailey to succeed in their stead.
