The Wealthy Author

The Wealthy Author IS for you if…

  • You are serious about writing a non-fiction book and want to get it right first time
  • You have a book in print (self published or with a mainstream) but sales are disappointing
  • You believe that the success of your book is down to the actions you take, not the wishes you make
  • You are a ’successful’ author but are frustrated you still need the day job to survive

The Wealthy Author is NOT for people who…

  • Think a book should just do well because it’s ‘good’ and marketing is no task for a ‘proper’ author
  • Expect somebody else (publisher, publicist, bookshops) to do all the work to promote their book
  • Just saw the ‘wealthy’ bit of the title and think making money as an author is going to be easy
  • Want yet more theory but are not willing to follow this up with action
