I am a first-time author ^ and soon I will be a published first-time author thanks to the advice Ms. Thornton gives in this book. "Profitable Publishing" helped me with edit issues, critique input, cover design and so much more.
I've written and published dozens of books... ^ and my opinion of the publishing industry has changed over the past 20 years. What EJ Thornton teaches about how to publish a book is up-to-date, addresses self-publishing and on demand publishing (not available when I started out) and many more topics that intended to empower the author to create and publish the books of their dreams!
Awesome content. Great value. It is a must-have for any author - especially the first timer, but even as an old-timer in this business, I learned an astonishing amount.
I teach how to write a book: So, You Want To Write A Book - Jumpstart Your Publishing Success, but when my students are ready to publish - I recommend this book to them!
Reading this book saved me a ton of money on self-publishing! ^ So, You Want To Write A Book - Jumpstart Your Publishing Success Combine these books together and you have a winning proposition! OMG!
I knew what I wanted to write about, but didn't know how to organize it. Thinking about the end-customer helped me do that. Then when it came to actually publishing it, this book - especially the anecdotal stories - illustrated how to get it done and do it right the first time! I've talked to so many other first-time-authors who self published who think I must've been the 'golden child' because I was able to avoid their costly mistakes!
Well worth the price of admission! Especially if you want to self publish!
