Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, plan to traditionally publish or self-publish, The Author Training Manual provides you with the tools you need to achieve your goals and become the author publishers and readers want. Inside you’ll find concrete steps, evaluations, sample business plans, in-depth training activities, editor and agent commentaries, and much more – all designed to help you stand out, from the slush pile to the shelf.

Review:

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

This is a great book for authors who are serious about getting their book published whether it’s through a publishing company or being self published. One of the many topics is which one is best for you.

The first chapter and Step #1 of the Author Training Process are mostly motivational, helping the author to get the right attitude which can be so important. After each step of the Author Training Process, there are exercises at the back of the manual which the author states is “the real training.”

The Author Training Manual presents writing a book like starting a business. Before you start writing your book it states you should have a business plan/business proposal whether you plan on trying to go through a publisher or being self published. It includes a lot of resources and samples of proposals and business plans.

This is definitely a good resource for any writer who is serious about getting their book published.
