Book Description
If I told you "getting published" was easy, you'd think I was full of shit. So how did I write my first book as a 23-year old, unemployed Economics major? And how did it only take a month, and make $$10,376.13 in passive income (so far) ... despite doing zero marketing? Because anyone can professionally self-publish a book, if they know what they're doing. I don't mean some scammy "e-book." I mean a real, paperback book on Amazon that nobody would know was self-published unless you told them. Publishing the book is easy, as I'll explain. Writing the book is NOT easy, but anyone can do it, if they're willing to work. You don't have to be an "expert." I'm not an expert, yet here we are. In fact, your non-expertise is your advantage (explained in Ch. 22). If you've ever wanted to write a book "some day" but thought you were unqualified, read this book. You'll learn everything you need to know to write your first successful book, in 24 steps, including: - Why traditional publishers are dead - How to find a profitable idea ... even if you think you have nothing to say - How to get started ... even if you're lost and overwhelmed - How to cure writer's block - How to outline ... without stunting your creativity - How to make your book your own ... not some boring, rehashed bullshit - How to build a lifelong writing habit - How to guarantee sales ... without annoying marketing - How to make your book look professional and sexy - How to have fun, hold your book in your hands, and build a writing career and/or business Don't read this book if you aren't willing to work, or challenge the conventional belief that "getting published" by traditional publishers is the only path. Publishers are dead. They don't want you to self-publish your book. Fuck 'em. You are an author.

Book Description
You are an author. You turn ideas into reality in the shape of a book. You turn the thoughts in your head into valuable intellectual property assets. You understand how powerful the written word can be. Now it's time to use your words to create a business plan to take your writing career to the next level — whatever that means for your situation. I'm Joanna Penn and I've been a full-time author-entrepreneur for almost a decade. In this book, I’ll guide you through the process of creating a business plan that will help you achieve your creative and financial goals. It’s relevant for fiction and non-fiction authors, as well as those who want to include other products, services, and income streams. It’s also applicable whether you’re just starting out or if you already have a mature author business. A plan helps at any stage of the journey. Part 1 covers your business summary and author brand, taking you through the process of deciding the overall direction for what you want to achieve and who you want to serve. Part 2 goes into the production process around your writing, publishing and licensing, products and services. Part 3 covers your marketing strategy and author eco-system. Part 4 goes into the financial side of your business, from mindset to revenue and costs, as well as paying yourself now and into the future. The final chapter will give you a framework for simplifying your plan and turning it into achievable steps across a chosen timeline. In each section, I give examples from my own business plan and there are questions for you to answer, templates, and resources that might help along the way, as well as example business plans for different kinds of authors. It's time to take your author career to the next level. Let's get started on your business plan. Please note: This book doesn’t go into detail on how to do the specific topics, for example, how to self-publish a book, or how to do content marketing. I cover those topics in my other Books for Authors. If you already have my previous business book, Business for Authors, this is a rewritten and updated sub-set of that material, focusing on the specifics of a plan as opposed to everything involved in running a business. This book acts as a companion as well as a more recent update to my own author journey. It will help you bring it all together into a coherent plan that you can use to take your author business into the future.
