Ivor Davis was an international journalist beginning in the early 60s when he toured America with The Beatles for The London Daily Express. He then became a New York Times syndicated columnist for fifteen years, all while writing over 100 cover stories for Los Angeles Magazine with his late wife, Sally Ogle Davis. During this time, he wrote the book, Five to Die, the very first book ever published about the notorious Manson murders.
Fast forward 50 years to 2014. Ivor reflected on his memories and journals from his time on tour with the Beatles and decided to write a memoir. The book covered the entire tour, from traveling on their plane, in the limos, and staying in the adjoining rooms of their hotel suites. He had the ultimate inside scoop. The Beatles and Me on Tour came out just before the 50th anniversary of their first American tour that started in August 1964 and went on to win awards and accolades.
That book let to invitations to lecture on the Queen Mary and other cruise lines. On a lecture cruise trip to the Falkland Islands, he was inspired by its old English charm and wrote a children’s book, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Penguins! a spoof on the Beatles with a band of penguins becoming almost as famous as the Beatles.
To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the notorious Manson murders, in 2019, Ivor dug back into his notes and wrote the highly acclaimed, Amazon #1 New Release Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder.
All three of these were self-published—a memoir, a children’s book, and true crime. Along the way, Ivor learned a great deal about what works for book production and how to market books. Ivor will share the four top ideas that work for him and answer your questions and advise from his almost a decade of self-publishing success.
