Just using the beats method alone has been worth it. ( ) Synopsis: A nonfiction book about marketing and publishing as an indie author. This book looks at mindset and concepts more than strategies. My rating: 5/5 This book is full of evergreen information about gaining momentum in the market by producing high quality books in abundance. There are interviews with several prominent indie authors such as Joanna Penn and Hugh Howie within the book. The authors have also worked closely with a number of writers including Lexi Maxwell on group projects. If there is one book I would gift someone wanting to start an indie author career it is this book. It hasn't been updated in a while and I am sure the authors would have much more insight into the marketplace so many years later but the things written in this book make sense to me as a reader. They point out reading trends I have lived even if I didn't recognize them as reading trends at the time. I recommend this book for all indie authors. It is one of my favorites. I am not particularly enthused by the book. There are indeed a lot of good tips that are scattered throughout the book. I did not always find it particularly easy to find them since many of them were hidden in deep layers of the authors' own stories. The authors took too long to get into the meat of the book. It was 20% of the way through that they started talking about some practical stuff. I cannot say that I was not warned. I was. They did mention that they would be talking about their own examples. However, I thought the balance was too far to the side of the stories. Finally, when I broke down the tips and suggestions that they gave, I felt that they did not go much deeper than general advice. While the book was, in many ways, enjoyable, it was not particularly helpful. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Write. Publish. Repeat. The No-Luck-Required Guide to Publishing In 2013, Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt published 1.5 million words and made their full-time livings as indie authors. In Write. Publish. Repeat., they tell you exactly how they did it: how they created over 15 independent franchises across 50+ published works, how they turned their art into a logical, sustainable business, and how any independent author can do the same to build a sustainable, profitable career with their writing. Write. Publish. Repeat. explains the current self-publishing landscape and covers the truths and myths about what it means to be an indie author now and in the foreseeable future. It explains how to create books your readers will love and will want to return to again and again. Write. Publish. Repeat. details expert methods for building story worlds, characters, and plots, understanding your market (right down to your ideal reader), using the best tools possible to capture your draft, and explains proven best practices for editing. The book also discusses covers, titles, formatting, pricing, and publishing to multiple platforms, plus a bit on getting your books into print (and why that might not be a good idea ). But most importantly, Write. Publish. Repeat. details the psychology-driven marketing plan that Sean and Johnny built to shape their stories into "products" that readers couldn't help but be drawn into -- thus almost automatically generating sales -- and explores ways that smart, business-minded writers can do the same to future-proof their careers. This book is not a formula with an easy path to follow. It is a guidebook that will help you build a successful indie publishing career, no matter what type of writer you are ... so long as you're the type who's willing to do the work. ˃˃˃ What Indie Authors and Thought Leaders Are Saying: "Two of the best in the biz... A gem for aspiring authors." -- Hugh Howey "I have a pretty popular blog on self-publishing, and I've written a couple of books on the topic myself - meaning I've read a lot on the topic and come across lots of different strategies and approaches to building a loyal audience. For my money, this is the best book on self-publishing out there." -- David Gaughran "It's tough to find more honest and straight-forward marketing advice than what you'll get from these indie authors." -- Jane Friedman, former publisher of Writer's Digest "The most important book on self-publishing I've ever read. " -- Karol Gajda "Consider it the most valuable guide book to publishing success." -- Jim Kukral, Author Marketing Club You'll Wish You Could Have Read it Years Ago Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
