Stop Dreaming About Making It as an Author and Start Building a Sustainable Business You Love
Are you tired of earning meager royalties or Amazon deposits? Do you dream of turning your passion for writing into a thriving business? In The Profitable Author, publishing veteran Sharon Woodhouse reveals the insider secrets to creating a multi-faceted author career that goes beyond book sales.
Drawing on over 25 years of experience as an indie publisher, Woodhouse provides a practical framework for building a sustainable and rewarding author life. This isn’t about chasing bestsellers or landing a movie deal (though those are nice when they happen). It’s about understanding the business of being an author, implementing proven strategies (over 1,001!) to generate multiple streams of income from your books, expertise, and experience, and empowering you to take charge of your author journey.
The Profitable Author guides you step-by-step through:
- Identifying 15 different author income streams, from ebook sales and events to services, merch, and rights sales.
- Designing a customized author business model that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle.
- Unlocking creative financing hacks to fund your dreams.
- Finessing author events (and getting paid!).
- Unleashing your inner entrepreneur and monetizing your expertise.
- Embracing the power of non-bookstore and volume sales.
- Mastering essential business skills (without losing your creative spark), including marketing, sales, negotiating, networking, and mindset.
- Crafting a fabulous sales and marketing plan tailored to YOU and your books, whether you’re a fiction writer, a nonfiction expert, a cookbook queen, or a children’s book hero.
- Cultivating a network of support to help you thrive as an authorpreneur.
