Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’m not going to lie to you folks—self-publishing your backlist isn’t for fun at all. It can be a tedious process, depending on the current format of your books, but it’s not all that difficult. And you know what is fun? Making money off that backlist! Don’t be daunted by the articles that cite self-publishing authors who only ever sell a hundred books. Sure, this is true, but this almost always applies to brand new authors. If you’re an established author with any kind of enthusiastic following, you will almost certainly sell far better than this. Probably much better.

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.

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.

Download or read book The Business of Being a Writer Second Edition written by JANE. FRIEDMAN and published by . This book was released on 2025-04-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly revised edition of the comprehensive guide to building and maintaining a successful career in writing. Writers talk about their work in many ways: as an art, as a calling, as a lifestyle. Too often missing from these conversations is the fact that writing is also a business, and those who want to make a living from their writing must understand the basic business principles underlying the industry. The Business of Being a Writer offers the business education writers need but so rarely receive. Jane Friedman is one of today's leading experts on the publishing industry. Through her website, social media presence, online courses, email newsletters, and other media, she helps writers understand how to navigate the industry with confidence and intentionality. This book advises writers on building a platform in a way that aligns with their values; critical mindset issues that might sabotage their efforts before they even begin; how to publish books and short works strategically; and what it means to diversify income streams beyond book sales. For this second edition, Friedman has updated every topic to reflect how the industry has evolved over the past half-decade. New features include a section on business and legal issues commonly faced by writers, exercises at the end of each chapter, and a wealth of sample materials posted on a companion website. Reaching beyond the mechanical aspects of publishing, The Business of Being a Writer will help both new and experienced writers approach their careers with the same creative spirit as their writing. Friedman is encouraging without sugarcoating reality, blending years of research with practical advice that will help writers market themselves and maximize their writing-related income. Her book will leave them empowered, confident, and ready to turn their craft into a sustainable career.
