Download or read book Write Publish Repeat written by Johnny B. Truant and published by Realm & Sands. This book was released on 2014-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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!
Download or read book Animal Killdom written by Alex Cooper and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I laughed. I cried. I hurled my faeces at my wife when she interrupted me." -- Gary Gorillason Animals are beautiful, noble creatures. They're also brutal, scheming, and skilled at ripping, bashing, and biting one another into tiny pieces. I'm sure we've all looked at a gorilla and wondered whether it could beat up a lion. How about a grizzly bear? Could an elephant stomp on a rabid weasel? (That one might not make the cut.) Animal Killdom asks the burning question: "What would happen if there was a Mixed Martial Animal Championship?" There's background info on the fighters' strengths (and weaknesses), real-life encounters, and more fun facts than you can shake a squirrel at. To top things off, the animal adversaries throw down in the arena, narrated (sort of reliably) by visionary first-time author and long-time underachiever Alex Cooper. You've seen the animal kingdom before, but never quite like this.
Download or read book The Coaching Habit written by Michael Bungay Stanier and published by Box of Crayons Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching is an essential skill for leaders. But for most busy, overworked managers, coaching employees is done badly, or not at all. They're just too busy, and it's too hard to change. But what if managers could coach their people in 10 minutes or less? In Michael Bungay Stanier's The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less hard and have more impact. Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide an answer, or unleash a solution. Giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. It can also mean unlearning our ''fix it'' habits. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And, he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice. -Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples' potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how---by saying less and asking more--you can develop coaching methods that produce great results. - Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question - Stay on track during any interaction with The AWE Question - Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question, and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question - Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question - Finally, ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question A fresh, innovative take on the traditional how-to manual, the book combines insider information with research based in neuroscience and behavioural economics, together with interactive training tools to turn practical advice into practiced habits. Dynamic question-and-answer sections help identify old habits and kick-start new behaviour, making sure you get the most out of all seven chapters. Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work--and your workplace--from good to great.

Download or read book Mental Health Made Easy written by Jeanine Joy, Ph.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthy habits of thought lead to the outcomes you want including great relationships, good health, and academic, career, and sporting success. You can know, in each moment, if the thoughts you are thinking are healthy. When you know you are thinking an unhealthy thought, you can use the empowering strategies in this book to change your thoughts to healthier ones. When it comes to coping skills, only Advanced and Transformational Stress Management Skills permanently reduce stress and make your life better every day. Almost all mental and physical illnesses can be traced back to chronic stress. Dr. Joy's groundbreaking work takes stress management to a new level. Moving away from defining emotions as positive and negative, Dr. Joy takes the conversation to the thoughts that cause the emotional response. Dr. Joy's work puts Advanced Stress Management Strategies in everyone's toolkit. Advanced Stress Management Strategies are quick, pro-active, healthy ways to reduce stress as it occurs. Transformational Stress Management Strategies change the way your automatic thoughts process the events in your life so that your initial thoughts are less stressful. Before this breakthrough, the most common stress management strategies didn't do anything more than give your mind a break. They didn't change the stress the situation created. Stress Management skills are critical because life is stressful and people who do not have good skills will use what is available, which often includes Dysfunctional strategies that quickly make things worse and Maladaptive strategies that slowly make things worse. Think of your thoughts as seeds. If you want to grow corn you don't want your thoughts to plant brussel sprouts. Everything you care about, including relationships, health, wealth, fun, and success turns out the way it does because of the thoughts you think. Good mental health no longer has to be random. Replace habits of thought that make your life more difficult than it has to be with habits of thought that make your life more fun. Dr. Joy has helped thousands of people reduce stress and improve their mental health using the same strategies you'll learn in this book. Her evidence-based, experience-informed methods integrate many scientific disciplines including emotion regulation, motivation, organizational behavior, positive psychology, organizational behavior, teams, resilience, self-determination, and self-control. She developed The Smart Way(tm) which is the name she uses to describe the combination of knowledge and skills you'll learn in this book. Dr. Joy is the founder and CEO of Happiness 1st Institute, a Thrive More Now Company. This book will make your life better every day. Why wait another day? Start enjoying life more now.
