title: 10 Secrets to a Bestseller: An Author's Guide to Self-Publishing Workbook
author:  Tim McConnehey 
description: As a multifaceted publishing visionary, Tim McConnehey specializes in the publishing of books and eBooks through his company, Izzard Ink Publishing. And when he says multifaceted, he means it! Tim directs eight teams covering every facet of publishing: finance, distribution, marketing, website development, art, public relations, cover and interior design, audiobook production, editing, and copyright. A solid leader, McConnehey has an outstanding record of growing market share, by continuously energizing and positively influencing team members to deliver solutions that not only improve productivity but deliver bottom-line results. Through his background in corporate training, business management, and business development, Tim acquired extensive experience in client service. And as someone who is never satisfied with doing things the way they have always been done, he came up with the idea of creating Izzard Ink Publishing after reading an article about eBooks in The Wall Street Journal. Izzard Ink Publishing has now grown from that initial idea to a business that has sold over 300,000 books and has a client list that has sold over 45 million books - all accomplished by delivering exceptional personalized client service and working with the best people in publishing. Through McConnehey's promotion and marketing of their books, Izzard's authors have been featured on Fox News, C-Span's Book TV, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other publications throughout the country. McConnehey has a Bachelor of Arts in International Business, from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife Wendy and their four children. When he does get the chance to get away, he loves to restore old cars and motorcycles.
