You just gotta write that book!
Been working on something new–a 3-part audio program, on how to negotiate the hellacious process of becoming an author. If you’re at all interested in becoming a published author, then you need to check it out….it’s three hours of Thom Singer (also a published author) and me riffing on a whole bunch of topics:
- Researching your book’s topic
- Creating a hard-hitting proposal
- Setting up good working habits for writing a great book
- Working with a publisher
- Promoting your book
- Even becoming your own publisher if that’s what you want to do
- When to get an agent and why you should
- Why proposals are accepted…and rejected
- Why it’s important to negotiate important points with your publisher (such as cover art)
- Why having a set schedule is so important to you and those around you
- Why promoting a book is so much harder than writing a book (but so worth it!)
- Why talent isn’t the most important thing for success in publishing….and what is.
