Genre: EDUCATION / GeneralINTRODUCTION
So, you’re writing or have written a book that you think everyone should know about. You’ve gone through the steps and tried to find an agent or publisher who will fund your dream and spread your message to the world. But now—whether you’ve just been rejected for the hundredth time, or whether you’ve finally gotten your manuscript published but are quickly becoming disillusioned with the whole process and are suffering from a nonexistent support system—you are wallowing in business lingo, financial pressures, and lack of success.
We’ve done all we can, your publisher says. Money is tight. You’re good, but we just don’t have the time or money to get the results you’re asking for. Or you look at your sales of your first eBook…and it’s still the same single digit number as last month.
This is not how you imagined your writing career would turn out.
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.
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.
You become what is termed an “authorpreneur”: an author who is not just a creative but also a businessperson who works for themself.
“Authorpreneur” speaks to the state of mind that you need to have before, during, and even after you have a book released. It doesn’t matter if you decide to publish independently (go “indie”) or traditionally, or if you want to handle marketing for the book on your own or hire a publicist instead. The mindset is still the same: you're handling your writing career—your way.
