Are you ready to write the book you've been longing to complete and get published? What's Your Book? contains the inspiration and information you need to get there. This book is an aspiring author's go-to guide for completing the dream to become a published author. Discover in 5 chapters how to: embrace the art of becoming an author; get over common hurdles that prevent you from finishing your book; challenge counterproductive mindsets; build an author platform; and get published. What's Your Book? provides tools and insider tips about everything from overcoming common issues that keep writers from completing their books to creating a social media plan to figuring out which publishing path is right for you. Brooke Warner is a publishing expert who brings to this book her thirteen years' experience as an acquiring editor for major trade houses.
Green-Light Your Book is a straight-shooting guide to a changing industry. Written for aspiring authors, previously published authors, and independent publishers, it explains the ever-shifting publishing landscape and helps indie authors understand that they're up against the status quo, and how to work within the system but also how to subvert the system in order to succeed. Publishing expert and independent publisher Brooke Warner is fearless in her critique of an industry that's lost its mandate, and in so doing has opened the door wide for indie publishers to thrive. While she does not shy away from calling out the bias against indie authors, she also asserts that it's never been a more exciting time to be in book publishing-and her passion and enthusiasm are contagious. "If you're going to green-light your work, you have to wow," Warner writes. But to surpass expectations, you also need to be a student of publishing and to be able to hold your own with book buyers, event coordinators, librarians, wholesalers, distributors, and reviewers. Green-Light Your Book seeks to equip authors and publishers with the language, knowledge, and skill sets they need to play big.
"Three Minus One: Parents' Stories of Love and Loss" is a
collection of intimate, soul-baring stories and artwork by parents
who have lost a child to stillbirth, miscarriage, or neonatal
death, inspired by the film "Return to Zero."
There are more outlets than ever for writers to spread their messages and share their work, more opportunities to speak out and be seen. Writers expose themselves freely and willingly in a way that would have been unfathomable fifty years ago, and more people than ever are writing and publishing. Men and women are writing with equal fervor and commitment to their message and craft. As a result, it’s easy to assume, or hope, that the gendered playing field is a thing of the past, too. Unfortunately for women writers, it’s not. Knowing what we’re up against and how to fight back is the heart and soul of Write On, Sisters! Inside these pages, Brooke Warner draws upon research, anecdotes, and her personal experiences from twenty years in the book publishing industry to show how women’s writing is discounted or less valued than men’s writing, then provides support to overcome these challenges. This book also shines light on how women writers face not only ever-present historical and social challenges but also their own self-limiting beliefs. Write On, Sisters! is for every woman writer ready to be done with all that, and who’s ready for the next revolution.
