Red Room Where the Writers Are

Via Seth's blog today:

Here is what Seth said on his blog in it's entirity and afterward an introduction to who Seth Godin is and why writers should listen to him:

• Jeff sent over this video, which I didn't know was online. It's almost two years old, and more informal (and a lot more self-focused) than my usual talks.
• In my presentations, I don't often go into detail about the tactics I've used on books I've marketed, so if that's something you're interested in, here you go. I hope the lessons from the book business work for you, whatever you sell.
• [It's possible that you won't see the visuals at the link above. Try this if that one doesn't work--or change the source on the right just below the box that holds the video.]
