Are you tired of "how to publish books" that are full of fluff and no real information? I was, too. I determined to jump in and learn for myself - and that's exactly what I did. I started with my first book, How to Work from Home and Make Money, and then quickly published three more. I was looking for the topic of my fifth book when it hit me - why not share what I've learned with the people who still haven't made the leap and published their own book?

Still, self-publishing is an easy way to get your content out to the most listeners as quickly as possible on a globally distributed platform in various digital, paperback, hard cover, audio CD, and downloadable audiobook formats.

While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The reader's experience must be an emotional journey of its own, one as involving as your characters' struggles, discoveries, and triumphs are for you. That's where The Emotional Craft of Fiction comes in. Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers.

Publisher's Summary
Do you want to successfully self-publish in eBook, print, or audiobook formats?
There are thousands of new books being published every day, but many self-published books quickly sink to the bottom of the pile.
Many authors are frustrated because there are so many options for self-publishing, and they don't know which one to choose or what will be best for their book.
Others spend thousands of dollars to publish and end up brokenhearted with the result.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
I've spent the last seven years self-publishing best-selling fiction and nonfiction books and in 2011, I left my day job to become a full-time author entrepreneur. I've made lots of mistakes along the way, but through the process of self-publishing 17 books, I've learned the most effective way to publish and market your books. In this book, I'll share everything with you.
The book includes:
- What you need to know before you self-publish
- Why self-publishing an eBook is a good idea
- How to format an eBook
- Exclusivity and going direct
- How to self-publish an eBook
- Why self-publish a print book

Too Much Self Promotion
At the end of each chapter we are reminded to go to the authors website and purchase additional materials. It’s extremely frustrating to buy a product only to know reminded and if you want more go someplace else and spend more money.

Some Useful Info
I am nit a novice but thought I might gain some new insight from this book. It was good to refocus on a bit of the marketing strategies. But I had to wade through quit a bit of sales updates about her other offers. Maybe that is part of her lesson, sell, sell, sell...but an ad for your other products is not the content I meant to be paying for. I expect cross reference sales promotion but this was a little 'over sold'.

I had to stop listening top the book because every few minutes the author promotes their own website. It was pretty annoying and I just could not go any further. Didn't learn anything new with this one. But then again I could not get passed the first chapter.

Not much to offer
This is more of a very generalized summary of one way to self that centers mostly around amazon and setting the price of your book to free.
The narration was okay, but the pauses between every sentence were unnaturally long. I speed it up as fast as I could to still understand her, though the pauses were still grating.

She delivered!
Joanna offers great, honest advice on self-publishing, from a successful author’s perspective.
As I begging my journey of publishing my first book, this book has been one of the most helpful tools I’ve used. This is because she not only shares valuable resources with the reader, but she offers advice that is delivered in a way that sounds like it’s coming from a friend.
I have been obsessing a bit over the publishing of my first book, which is the reason that I still haven’t published it. But after reading this I feel confident that my first book is truly only the beginning and that I have the ability to publish many more after that first one.
Definitely worth it to listen to this book whether you’re already a published author, or you’re just exploring!

Relevant help for authors
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve written one, two or even three books, help is always appreciated in my experience. I have published one non fiction book, and didn’t have the know how to boost sales. Also, the subject was traumatic, so I couldn’t say “I hope you enjoy my book”. Now I’m about to publish my first historical fiction book (8 years after first book), and Joanna Penn has saved the day for me with this book. It cements into your mind everything that needs doing right up to and after publication day. A book to keep close at hand!
