A Non-Fiction Book in 72 Hours or Less


Nancy Hendrickson is a full-time author, she has 13 print books and several Kindle books. She really knows her stuff, and she has an excellent conversational style to her writing.


Nancy’s Credentials


She has a five step system to writing and publishing a book that really makes sense. Hendrickson walks you through the process and points out the important things that need to be done. She is also quick to point out just what is most likely to trip you up as a new or first-time author.


Writing Approach


Hendrickson’s approach is high on quality rather than quantity. Her pet peeve appears to be the proliferation of junk eBooks—and she explains how to avoid those very pit falls, to make sure that your book has quality, a professional cover, and over all competence.


What’s Inside


Discussions on outlining, grammar, and marketing are key areas of focus for the book. But, I really liked the discussion on how to write a non-fiction book fast.


If you are thinking of writing a non-fiction book, this book needs to be in your tool kit!

On Writing By Stephen King

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft


If you are going to learn writing, it might as well be from someone who has a lot of successful books out there. Stephen King is a literary genius, for sure. Much of his advice follows other main stream writers and coaches, but some of it seems to fly in the face of conventional wisdom. The magic of this book is Stephen’s way of tying the advice into his history of a writer and what led him to the conclusions he proposes as good writing.


What I loved about his presentation of the book is that his process of creating a book revolves more around creating memorable characters, putting them in specific situations, then letting the characters work their way out of the problems.


Emphasis on Character


I have been taught many times to focus on the plot and the flow of the book. Stephen King looks at it differently with a greater focus on character development and handling the situation that the character finds himself in.


War on Adverbs


I also love the all out war on Adverbs. Apparently Adverbs are superficial and extraneous. They really aren’t needed, and should be avoided, according to King.


Best One-Liners


I love his one-liners: “The scariest moment is always just before you start.”  “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” “Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.”


If I have ever read a book that was both informational and entertaining at the same time, this would be the book.

Author Reveals Secrets

New Book Release


Dean Giles an Amazon # 1 bestselling author, recently released his highly anticipated work, “Write a Step-by-Step Book.” The volume is loved for its simplicity and practical nature. It is being acclaimed as The Resource for anyone who is serious about being a non-fiction writer.


amazon-write-step-by-step


Nonfiction writers are unique in the world. They are the unsung heroes that are actually trying to make a difference in the world and the lives of other people. But many nonfiction writers find themselves frustrated by the writing process. Writing can be difficult and knowing how to research ideas, organize the ideas, and put those ideas into something that will really be useful can be an art form.


Most Authors Are Doing it Wrong


“Truthfully, most authors are doing it wrong, and it shows. If the process feels like going to the dentist, then you really are doing it wrong.”


Writing can be a natural and enjoyable thing. It can naturally lead to both self-fulfillment and good profits, but there are some simple steps that, if followed, can lead to a book that is better accepted and much more profitable.


Simple Steps To Success


Those simple steps are outlined in this easy-to-read, and straight-forward manual. “The key is in the discovery process and the focusing of the author’s effort in producing something that is exactly what the customer needs and presented it in a way that anyone can follow the advice.” Says, the author, Dean Giles.


Readers are attracted to books because of the promise of information. Many books are full of fluff and rhetoric. They never really get to the meat of the problem or how to go about implementing a solution. Writers that can truly identify those needs and spell out how to solve those problems one step at a time, will quickly gain a following and true fans of their work.


The book comes with an easy, step-by-step checklist that will guarantee that nothing is missed along the way.


Take Your Writing Up a Level


As an author, you can move your writing to the next level Step-by-Step, and enjoy the benefits of finishing a nonfiction book that really helps other people, is direct-to-the-point, and can be completed in less time than you ever imagined.

Write a Bestseller?

Bestseller Lists


There are a number of bestseller lists, the New York Times bestseller list, the USA Today bestseller list–but today, my favorite bestseller list is the Amazon Category Bestseller list!


I recently ran a promotion for one of my books, a Google Keyword Planner Book.


Get it here. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E45ADKE/


kp-az


It had a number of sales after the promotion, and ended up as the #1 bestseller in TWO Categories.



How did I get there?


I kind of fell into the niche and topic. When Google announced they were going to do away with the Keyword Tool, I found myself, out of necessity, moving to the Keyword Planner, kicking and screaming the whole way.


I decided that I might be able to alleviate some of the pain that I experienced for someone else, so I wrote the book. I think that it has hit a sympathetic chord with a few other people out there.


I posted the book promotion to 41 Facebook Groups. The groups are listed in my Write a Step-by-Step Book, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I0MKFVY .


I also promoted the book on Fiverr, using a gig and a gig extra by bknight where they submitted my free book promotion to 15 free book sites, posted the free book to their blog, and sent out my promotion in their email. At the end of the promotion, the book was selling at a pretty good rate, that more than paid for the $10 spent on the promotion.


You Could Be a Bestselling Author


The opportunity to write a book and profit from it is better than it ever has been in history. I present a step-by-step method for creating non-fiction books that can sell, and I present it in a straight-forward, actionable manner. Although, my emphasis is around step-by-step books, the advice is effective, timeless, and can be used around any niche or genre. Just see for yourself, you might be surprise that you too can write a bestselling book.

Best Selling Ideas for Writing Nonfiction

Know Your Customer


Nonfiction is all about delivering what the customer wants. That means solving a real problem, or multiple problems. It usually means step-by-step processes that users can implement immediately to find relief from what is bothering them, or paths to obtaining what they need.


Many nonfiction books are “How To” manuals. People purchase these types of books for personal improvement.


How to Get to Know Your Customer


I read it all the time. If you want to know what your customers want, just “ask them.” That seems pretty easy if you have an email list, a tribe, or a following. Most writers start from scratch. We don’t have any of those things, so we don’t have a built in group of people to ask about to discover what they need.


If you do have a following, and you do have an interactive platform, then start now by asking “what are your biggest frustrations?” Or “what is stopping you from taking the next step?” Open ended questions like these will certainly bring the concerns to the forefront. If you have connected with your audience, you can have a discussion on your blog or other web presence that will narrow down what your customers need.


If you don’t have a following yet, then how do you get to know your customer?


You have to discover where they hang out. You have to interact with them, and you have to begin to build a relationship one person or group at a time.


The most successful authors will have books in a series or clustered in specific niches, because once they have a reader that likes their material, they can make that reader a fan. A true fan will purchase the next book that the author comes out with. A true fan will buy everything that author has to offer about information in his niche or topic of interest.


Create a Customer Funnel


Make no mistake, the best way to develop that fan base is to write more books. If there are no more of your books to read, you will lose your fan base. People will go on to other authors and forget about you. You have to supply what they want–more of your books.


It is true, that as a nonfiction writer, you have to select topics of interest. In the following posts, I will discuss how to find the topics that will garner the most interest, and therefore give you the best chances of writing a successful nonfiction book. But, remember that the strategy is always to create a customer funnel that will readers to you and your books, and will move them from one book to the next. These funnels draw a few people at a time, and over time will create the fan base that you need to sell a lot of books. This isn’t ”

get rich quick” mentality. It isn’t even a quick sprint to riches, but a long term strategy that will produce an increasing stream of income over a period of time and concerted effort.
