Judith Briles is an author’s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knows all the ways authors have blown a fortune over the years on so-called “book gurus” who know little, crappy printers, and horrible proofreaders. And then there are the wasted weeks, months and even years that authors spend just THINKING about writing a book.<\/strong> But those thoughts don’t bring money through the door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why her new book, Author YOU–Creating and Building the Author and Book Platforms<\/strong>, is such a find!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is filled with thousands of books on how to publish. But what I love about this one is the more than 20 activities that Judith instructs her readers to do to shorten the learning curve and get the words flowing.  In Activities 7 through 9, for example, she walks authors through the entire process of committing the time and money<\/strong> needed to write their books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 7:<\/strong> Finding Your Commitment Factor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 8:<\/strong> Finding the Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 9:<\/strong> Finding Your Financial Commitment to Your Book<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t make it past this section and actually promise yourself that you’ll do the hard work, reading this will have been worth it. Why waste time writing a book you’ll never publish? If you’ve made this far, however, all the other to-do’s will keep you on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judith is offering a monster package of $2,600 worth of bonuses<\/strong>—including one of mine—if you buy the book today<\/a>. I’m offering a very cool cheat sheet called “103 Powerful Calls-to-Action.”<\/strong> You can use them everywhere—on your book jacket, in your online media kit, in your pitches to journalists and bloggers, on your invoices and packing slips—so people do EXACTLY what you want them to do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read my 5-star review of Author You on Amazon<\/a>, and then buy the book. Be sure to let me know how you’ll be using my 103 calls-to-action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
