Do You Have a Book Idea or
Want to Become a Published Author?

Being a published author gives you instant credibility, leverage, and opens more doors than you ever thought possible.

Why?  Because writing a book is perceived by most people as a difficult and time-consuming process. 

They believe that since only a relatively few people make it through the publishing process, that those who do must be better, or more qualified than the rest. 

There is also the implied endorsement of dozens of unknown people.  A literary agent, an editor, a publisher, publishing boards, distributors, book buyers, book stores, and of course, the public.  If all of these people are working together to produce, edit, finance, distribute and purchase the author's book, then it must be good - and the author must be good.

This perception is what's behind the power of being published.

People use shortcuts all the time to help them make difficult decisions.  Having a book helps your prospects immediately identify you as someone special, someone with expertise and authority.

I'm not talking about self publishing, eBooks, or vanity publishing.  The problem with these types of publishing is simply that they lack the very thing that makes being published so powerful.  The perception of difficulty and the endorsement of others.

In fact, they have the opposite effect.  Instead of being perceived as someone who must be good, you're perceived as someone who couldn't cut it and that it was easy to do.  If everyone can do it, it isn't special.

The greatest thing about non-fiction writing is that it is relatively easy to do.  I've had clients complete an entire manuscript in just several days.  Many times you'll already have much of the content available if you write articles, newsletters, blogs, record interviews, podcasts or hold seminars & workshops.

If you've got an idea for a book, a manuscript, or want to get published, then give me a call and we'll talk.  I have relationships with several publishing houses - and they've never rejected an author I've worked with.

Having a book is more powerful than you can imagine.  In fact, its the new business card of those who choose to take the lead.
