Download or read book Launch Your Self Publishing Journey written by Monica F. Anderson and published by TyMAC Books. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would anyone self-publish? There are many reasons. Some have tried traditional publishing and grown weary of waiting for responses to their submissions and most have witnessed the success stories of countless self-published authors. Those are legitimate reasons to explore self-publishing. Many well-known authors like Margaret Atwood, Robert Kiyosaki, Zane, Beatrix Potter, E.L. James, and Wayne Dyer self-published their way to tremendous literary success. Having the confidence to self-publish does not make you a failure or vain. It gives you more control over how your message reaches readers. There are numerous benefits to self-publishing, including: • Fast track the publishing process. • Retain full ownership of your intellectual property. • Set a competitive price and offer discounts. • The right to decide which format(s) to offer (audio, paperback, e-book). • Keep more of the profits by eliminating gatekeepers. Many authors are doing it successfully, and so can you. With over a dozen published books between them and years of writing experience, Dr. mOe Anderson and Dr. M. Stolard are positioned to help others avoid the mistakes commonly made by self-published authors. In this book, they share a step-by-step guide with clear examples from their publishing successes (and failures). This book bridges the gap between your manuscript and a finished, professional-looking book!

Download or read book Adorno Foucault and the Critique of the West written by Deborah Cook and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alliance of critical theory between Frankfurt and Paris Adorno, Foucault and the Critique of the West argues that critical theory continues to offer valuable resources for critique and contestation during this turbulent period. To assess these resources, it examines the work of two of the twentieth century's more prominent social theorists: Theodor W. Adorno and Michel Foucault. Although Adorno was situated squarely in the Marxist tradition that Foucault would occasionally challenge, Deborah Cook demonstrates that their critiques of our current predicament are complementary in important respects. Among other things, these critiques converge in their focus on the historical conditions-economic in Adorno and political in Foucault-that gave rise to the racist and authoritarian tendencies that continue to blight the West. Cook also shows that, when Adorno and Foucault plumb the economic and political forces that have shaped our identities, they offer remarkably similar answers to the perennial question: What is to be done?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 360 Degree Leader Workbook will equip you with the skills you need to begin making a difference in your organization, career, and life, today—with or without the promotion. Ninety-nine percent of all leadership occurs not from the top but from the middle of an organization. Usually, an organization has only one person who is the leader. So what do you do if you are not that one person? In The 360 Degree Leader Workbook, Maxwell addresses that very question and takes the discussion even further. You don't have to be the main leader to make a significant impact in your organization. Good leaders are not only capable of leading their followers but are also adept at leading their superiors and their peers. Debunking myths and shedding light on the challenges, John Maxwell offers specific principles for Leading Down, Leading Up, and Leading Across. 360-Degree Leaders can lead effectively, regardless of their position in an organization. By applying Maxwell's principles from this workbook and accompanying book, you will expand your influence and ultimately be a more valuable team member.

Download or read book MFA Vs NYC written by Chad Harbach and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writers write—but what do they do for money? In a widely read essay entitled "MFA vs NYC," bestselling novelist Chad Harbach (The Art of Fielding) argued that the American literary scene has split into two cultures: New York publishing versus university MFA programs. This book brings together established writers, MFA professors and students, and New York editors, publicists, and agents to talk about these overlapping worlds, and the ways writers make (or fail to make) a living within them. Should you seek an advanced degree, or will workshops smother your style? Do you need to move to New York, or will the high cost of living undo you? What's worse—having a day job or not having health insurance? How do agents decide what to represent? Will Big Publishing survive? How has the rise of MFA programs affected American fiction? The expert contributors, including George Saunders, Elif Batuman, and Fredric Jameson, consider all these questions and more, with humor and rigor. MFA vs NYC is a must-read for aspiring writers, and for anyone interested in the present and future of American letters.
