Book Excerpt
The Seven Step Guide to Authorpreneurship
I’m going to share a little secret with you, no charge: The only way to get your book noticed the way you want it to be is to invest in yourself.
Sounds odd, perhaps. Invest in myself, not in my book?
Well, the secret is that by investing in yourself as an entire person, you’re going to be investing in your book as well. You can’t just sell an idea or a book to a publisher or audience—you have to sell yourself as well.
How do you do that, you ask?
You become what is termed an “authorpreneur”: an author who is not just a creative but also a businessperson who works for him- or herself.
