Since there is a lot of competition in the book world—considering writing a book is your business—and book categories (and subcategories) are packed with options… you’ll want to stand out against the rest.

So you think you don’t have time to write but you’ve just gotta get that book done…and you’re thinking about hiring a ghostwriter to help bring your book over the finish line. Over the years I’ve had many authors approach me and tell me they’d love to publish a book but they are too busy. I recently had a doctor ask me if I had a system and resources so that he could ghostwrite his book because he...

We are at a kind of crossroads in our human history. With that being said, I want to talk about the energy behind what I am witnessing on today's show. I see self love as the critical factor in these days. See, if you don’t have such practices you cannot see through what is being dismantled in our society. Beyond all the racial slurs, the financial monopolies, the political opinions, the viru...

I wanted to talk about a best seller, but I want to remind you that I don’t believe in best sellers as a key reason for writing your book. But, what I do look at is the business principles behind the concepts. These concepts should be looked at by every self-published author in order to grow a stronger platform. There are a few rules for every bestseller list and how to get your book on them. And...

A good title is also one that makes it easier for people to find your book. Clearly the title of your book is one of the most important things when it comes to writing a book. Unless the title both makes sense and draws attention it may never be found and most certainly never read. But, as a book designer and author for many years, there are certain ways to design a book that makes the title stand...

If you don’t shout out to the world who you are and what you do, no one is going to do it for you. The fact is, you’re not a slacker when you write a book. A book is so much more than a story. It’s so much more than a message. It tells the world you are capable of organizing your thoughts, not afraid to broadcast your views, and it states you have a well-thought-out opinion or you’ve done your res...

So many authors struggle with knowing they want to write a book but not knowing how to drum up the content. You’ve heard me talk about this many times if you’ve listened to any of my podcasts…and you know that I believe a book should ultimately be aligned with your goals, values, and visions personally and professionally. It’s through living, observing, and paying attention to the details and nuan...

Wherever we choose to expose ourselves…books, social media, YouTube…whatever it is, we want to show up as smart, thought-out, put together, or otherwise targeted on what we are speaking about. A book exposes us. People may judge…but, Benjamin Franklin said, “Well done is better than well said. So when it comes to writing your book, it’s not always about creativity…and the right editor can most cer...
