BLOG: How to sell a memoir of someone who’s not a household name

After two years of perseverance, my friend and associate Stuart Hall put the proverbial pen down after dotting his final full stop.

His book, a memoir of football coach Gordon Young’s career, was complete.

For small companies and organisations entering business or sectoral competitions can be a challenge. It may seem like a ‘would like’ rather than a ‘must do’.

This is short sighted. Competitions that recognise your expertise simply have to be built into your marketing and communications plan. It should be seen simply as another platform to get your story told to the people who need to hear it.

Time and resources should be built in to research what competitions are right for you, depending on what your priorities are for the year, what categories most closely fit what you do best, and will demonstrate what you’ve achieved.
