Stephanie Chandler is the author of several books including The Nonfiction Book Marketing Plan. She is the founder and CEO of NonfictionAuthorsAssociation.com and NonfictionWritersConference.com, and a frequent speaker at writers’ conferences and events.Karl W. Palachuk is the author of several books including Relax, Focus, Succeed. He is also a consultant to IT consultants and a frequent blogger at RelaxFocusSucceed.com and SmallBizThoughts.com. Two independent-publishing gurus present a keen-eyed, thorough view of the basics of getting a self-published book written, designed, distributed, and publicized. They know their stuff [and] demonstrate that the strategy of self-publishing nonfiction is very different from fiction, and extends beyond the book itself; many authors will want to use their books as brand extensions. Self-publishing, Chandler and Palachuk observe, makes authors info-entrepreneurs--if they aren't already--with the success of their book firmly in their hands. The authors weigh the pros and cons of self-publishing versus going with a traditional publishing house, and tackle profitability, distribution, soliciting endorsements and reviews (they suggest that when readers privately reach out to praise a book, authors should "reply with gracious appreciation and ask the reader to post a review online"), selling on Amazon, and a plethora of other how-to topics. Backed with case studies and resources, this is a useful guide for nonfiction authors aspiring to bestsellerdom. (Publisher's Weekly BookLife) Dear reader, This book represents the guidance I wish I had when I started self-publishing. I understand my fellow nonfiction authors need real-world insights that include a focus on the business side of publishing and promoting books . For many of us, our books are more than a hobby. They are an extension of us, born from passion and experience, and propelled by a goal of making a difference in the world. This is why I love nonfiction so much! We have the opportunity to make an impact on our readers! This book is the result of over four decades of publishing industry experience between me and my co-author, Karl Palachuk. My books have been self-published and traditionally published, so I understand the pros and cons of each. I have also been a book publisher since 2008 and I'm a former bookstore owner. I understand this industry from many perspectives.  I hope this book exceeds all of your expectations and helps prepare you to not only make an impact on the world with your own books, but to do so profitably and ethically.  Keep writing,   Stephanie ChandlerCEO, Nonfiction Authors Association Table of Contents from The Nonfiction Book Publishing Plan: Chapter 1: The Business of Self-Publishing Nonfiction Books - Chapter 2: The Pros and Cons of Traditional Publishing andSelf-Publishing - Chapter 3: Profit Opportunities with Your Book - Author Interview: Jim Horan - Chapter 4: Choose a Niche Audience - Chapter 5: Write Your Nonfiction Manuscript - Author Interview: Claire Cook - Chapter 6: Beta Readers - Chapter 7: Editing Essentials - Author Interview: Melinda Emerson - Chapter 8: Pre-Production for Self-Publishing - Chapter 9: Book Design and Production - Author Interview: William Teie - Chapter 10: Book Printing and Distribution - Chapter 11: Bookstore Distribution and Beyond - Author Interview: Mike Michalowicz - Chapter 12: Ebooks and Audiobooks - Chapter 13: Bestsellers Lists and Book Pre-Orders - Author Interview: Honorée Corder - Chapter 14: Endorsements and Book Reviews - Chapter 15: Navigating Amazon - Author Interview: Blake Atwood - Chapter 16: Your Website and Ecommerce Strategy - Chapter 17: Plan Your Book Launch - Aut
