About this title

Synopsis

An all-in-one, 184-page color comprehensive guide to creative writing and self-publishing in varied formats.

Part I, Creative Writing - the Basics, first encourages aspiring authors to develop a writing regimen. The crux covers creative writing standards, such as voice, plot, and setting, with the corresponding writing styles of noted authors and exercises.

Bonuses:

§ Establishing a budget for your writing career.

§ Equipping with the proper tools.

§ Commissioning an editor, among other tasks, such as writing query letters, landing a literary agent, and retaining a contract lawyer or intellectual property rights attorney

Part II, Self-Publishing Your Way, covers the publishing essentials, such as obtaining a professional headshot, professional name, employer ID, incorporation, permission rights, copyright, ISBN, pricing, and distributor(s) to uploading metadata and opening a business bank account, and creating a website.

Unlike cookie-cutter versions offered in "free" download articles, videos, and expensive webinars, this step-by-step approach shows authors how to convert an MS Word manuscript into a book format, digital, e-book, and audiobook their way and then successfully upload the files onto the print-on-demand and distributors' websites of their choice. Then presto! Authors are published!

Bonus: Promote to bring attention to your books.
