If you haven\u2019t done so already, go to my newest website and sign up for the free ebooklet, 50 Reasons Why You Should Write That Book<\/strong><\/em>. http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a> <\/p>\n

This ebooklet will help you to determine whether or not you are ready to produce your book and what you need to do or to consider before doing so. As you know, publishing is not an extension of your writing. Writing is a craft\u2014a heart thing\u2014and publishing is a seriously competitive business. You will need to enter into the world of publishing using completely different methods, skills and mindset than you used while writing your wonderful book. And this ebooklet helps you to understand just what steps you must take now in order to successfully enter into the publishing field.<\/p>\n

You might read this ebooklet and realize the importance of hiring an editor before showing your book around to agents\/publishers or even before self-publishing. You may discover that you haven\u2019t given your audience much thought and you really need to make some changes to your book before it is publisher (and reader)-ready. You might decide that you want to pursue a small traditional publisher rather than go with the first pay-to-publish company that tries to woo you. (Some new authors simply don\u2019t know what all of their options are.)<\/p>\n

You may decide to hold off on producing your how-to, business book, memoir or novel until you\u2019ve spent more time building your platform and designing a marketing plan. Likewise, you may choose to build your website before you come out with the book (the recommendation of most experts).<\/p>\n

The thing is, if you are not appropriately prepared to become an author and if your book doesn\u2019t have all of the aspects and elements necessary in today\u2019s publishing climate, you are pretty much wasting your time if you proceed with it. This FREE 24-page ebooklet could make the difference between a successful book and a failed one. <\/p>\n
