Readers want information in small bites.
Phew…   a short book is doable.




         Charles Dickens
Write for Kindle.
Hey, I’m a
real book
Isn’t the goal to “tell your story”?
No! Your eBook has a business goal: to leverage revenue.




Nic McPhee http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicmcphee/
An author is an entrepreneur.

   change.
Short Is the New Long
Your book needs a stylish cover and a title that makes readers say…
I gotta know
what’s inside.
How will readers find your book?

                              Be
                              relentlessly
                              useful
Ingredients of success: 1. Think like an entrepreneur "
     2. It’s all about your readers 3. Practice…
Practice… practice… "
It takes a lot of sweat to write a book.
Start writing…
