How to Write a Book - 10 Simple Steps: Think Like a Reader & Write Like a Bestselling Author

What's the key to building your community of superfans?
Why do only a handful of authors ever make any money from their writing?
How do you plan a book from writing to launching?

It might sound surprising...but the reason so few books generate sales has nothing to do with talent or having an "original" idea. And while many authors might say that a book's success depends on how it's promoted...most failures in the publishing world happen long before finishing writing a book.

It's the authors who know how to avoid this mistake who can stack up royalties from their work... and build a legion of fans.

This mistake isn't unique to authors. Businesses in every corner of the world waste millions of dollars making this mistake every day. Some people refer to it as being "ego-driven." Others call it "product-centric."

Ultimately, it's the mistake of ignoring the market. Most books fail to sell simply because writers forgot about their reader. This happens to fiction and nonfiction writers alike. And it's the reason most writers never earn a single cent.

The truth is, it's NOT their fault.

If you look at what most writing resources and guides teach, they focus on things like style and grammar. Very few books talk about getting to know the reader and what they like to read. It might sound like a trivial difference. But understanding this separates the successful author from the ones who never make a sale.

That's where this book can help. Written by a seasoned veteran of the publishing space, it gives you an insider's look at writing books that turn readers into superfans.

¿ The easy 10-step process that lets you skip the overwhelm of planning your book

Even if you've written nothing before...or you don't know how to start...by following the steps inside this guide, you can leapfrog the learning curve and potentially save yourself hundreds of hours of trial and error. So you can take the guesswork out of the writing process and fast-track your way to publishing your book.
