I found an interesting, informative book and one that you will want to buy if you plan to self-publish. But I found the writing extremely clunky with numerous typos (even stuff that should have been caught by SpellCheck). I guess that is not a professional writer, and not especially talented in writing, but definitely knows the subject very well.
Also this book is a great example of what the author suggests that you do. That is, pick a non-fiction subject and write a fairly small book on the subject. There is a lot in what she has to say. The rules are pretty simple. Pick a subject that you know something about, that is small enough that it has not been written about too much. Write a small book, and spend as much time on promotion as you did on writing the book. People like to read authors that they know, by picking a subject where you can write a series of books covering different aspects.
Most of the book consists of short chapters that are fast to write fast, fast to read, convey information that the reader wants. There are chapters on just the back cover. When you have fifteen or twenty seconds of the buyers attention, what you put on the cover is very important. Then there are chapters on getting the book published, including finding a major publsher and on publishing it yourself.
She writes a bit on eBooks.But eBooks have not been terribly successful. People do not seem to want to read on a computer. But as she says publishing a paper book and eBook (as some kind of promotion) at the same time might make some sense.
While the information is solid and I will likely buy at least one more book that the author offers, reading her books is a lot like going to the dentist, you do not enjoy it, but you know it is good for you.
I already bought this book, and it's well spent money. Best of all is that is a very affordable price, only 13.45 dollars. You can buy this book on Amazon, and read more reviews.
