About this title

Synopsis

You have an idea for a book. Now you need a clear plan for turning that idea into a finished product readers can actually buy.

11 Simple Steps guides first-time authors through the complete independent-publishing process, from developing an initial concept to writing, designing, producing, releasing, and marketing the finished book. Instead of overwhelming you with publishing jargon, this concise guide divides the process into practical, manageable steps.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Turn your knowledge or experience into a focused book concept
• Organize your ideas and begin writing
• Overcome writer's block and finish the manuscript
• Prepare the book's interior and cover
• Choose an appropriate printing and publishing option
• Create paperback and digital editions
• Build an online presence for yourself and your book
• Approach reviewers and generate attention
• Promote your book through interviews and media opportunities
• Create additional products and income opportunities from one book
• Move from aspiring writer to published author

11 Simple Steps was created for entrepreneurs, teachers, coaches, professionals, experts, and aspiring nonfiction authors who have valuable information to share but do not know how to navigate the publishing process.

You do not need a major publishing contract or an enormous budget to release your first book. You need a useful idea, a realistic plan, and the willingness to complete each step.

Stop dreaming about becoming an author. Start building the book.
