Writing is a business, and it is time we started treating it like one. Freelance writer, author, editor, and publisher Troy Lambert breaks the business into its most essential parts: production, distribution, and marketing. But he goes deeper than that. Many writers never truly finish the production stage when they self-publish, fail to understand true wide distribution, and often struggle with marketing more than anything else. But how does a writer put it all together and still manage to have a life too? This book offers tips and tricks about when and how to hire help, what you can do yourself, and how to navigate the ever-changing publishing industry as an author from the viewpoint of someone who has done it themselves. This is a book you can refer to over and over again on your author journey.
