Description:

Learn the basics of how to write a non-fiction book including (1) creating a compelling title, (2) writing copy for the back cover, (3) developing a table of contents, (4) submitting a proposal, (5) writing an author’s statement, and (6) completing a market analysis. These are the basic steps before an author starts to write the contents of a book.

Objective / Value:

It’s a universal truth that most consultants, entrepreneurs, infopreneurs, speakers, business professionals, inventors, teachers, salepeople, and others have a secret (or not-so-secret) yearning to write a book. I’ve been contacted by countless numbers consultants asking me for advice on how to write and publish a book. I’ve successfully coached dozens of them, have gotten lots of free lunches, and have added several inches to my hips as a result.

So what are your chances of getting a book written and published in this highly competitive industry? The chances are—you can. Everyone who’s ever written a book started with a yearning just like yours and the determination to make it happen.

       Be viewed as an expert and trusted voice.
