Publish Without Permission – Now Available!
I’ve been writing books for over a decade now, on subjects as diverse as divine healing, emergency preparedness, and science fiction. Each book taught me something about writing and publishing. Over the years, I’ve heard the same questions from friends who want to write their own books:
How do I format my book manuscript?
Which publishing platform should I use?
How do I produce an audiobook?
I’ve written many articles on different aspects of self-publishing, but I knew I’d eventually need to write a book that covers the entire process.
I started this book with a simple goal: to give people a practical, honest account of what it takes to write a good book, publish it, and build a career as an independent author.
Our new book, Publish Without Permission, covers the entire self-publishing journey. We start by determining whether you have the mindset to be an author. From there, we move into developing your book concept, writing with clarity, and working with an editor. The publishing section covers everything from formatting your print book and eBook to pricing strategy, distribution platforms, audiobook production, and getting reviews.
The second half explains how an author builds a platform: growing an email list, podcasting, networking with other authors, launching a book, and marketing for the long game. The chapter on multiple income streams includes the full story of what happened when our platform was dismantled overnight, and how we rebuilt it.
If you only have one book that needs to be published, you’ll find a straightforward path to achieving that goal. If you’re a serious writer—if the ideas keep coming and you can’t stop them—Publish Without Permission can help you become a full-time author.
You bring the ideas. The book will show you what to do with them.
