Write a Must-Read

Craft a Book That Changes Lives—Including Your Own

De: A. J. Harper

Narrado por: A. J. Harper

A book is not about something. A book is for someone.

You want to write a nonfiction book that matters. Book readers love and rave about a book they underline, dog-ear, and highlight. How do you do that, when you’ve never written a book like that before, when you aren’t sure what content to include in a nonfiction book, or how to organize it? And when you’re not sure if your idea is worth pursuing in the first place?

At the heart of the answers to all these questions is a craft created by A. J. Harper, ghostwriter and editor for some of the foremost thought leaders of our time. The foundation of that craft is a simple, yet powerful philosophy: Reader first. When you learn how to put your reader first at every stage of book development, writing, and editing, you can create the connection and trust required to transform their lives.

In this audiobook, Harper reveals the proven methods and frameworks she has used for nearly two decades to write and edit perennial best sellers. It’s not the easy way or the fast way; it’s the effective way. The payoff for doing this important work: a must-read book, and a massive readership who serve as ambassadors for your message and your brand.

This is a book you will share with others. It might have been shared with you, like it was with me.
If you want to understand the art of books, listen and keep your notebook handy.
Happy reading, and happier writing!

this book is a masterpiece!

write a must-read by AJ Harper changed my life! Not only that, it is changing the lives of people all over the world because she is enabling authors to share their messages. I because the book is so good, I read it first and then listened to the audible. AJ‘s performance in the recording makes the Audible come to life! I felt like we were sitting in a room and talking together because AJ is 100% authentic and her motive is to empower authors to believe in themselves, create a truly outstanding book, and to be a good person while doing it. Check check check.

If only I had read this sooner!

Thank you AJ for writing a book that confirmed all the mistakes I have made along my book writing journey. Your book not only inspired me for the journey ahead but gave me great ideas to take with me!

The best book in writing nonfiction

If you want to write a truly great book, this is for you. This book has utterly transformed my approach to writing. I am SO grateful for the honest, supportive, and extremely practical advice she offers. It will pay dividends for my entire author career.

Write A Must-Read is Fabulous!

It will most definitely be one of the few books that I will continue referencing for the rest of my life. I'd recommend it to anyone who writes (even if you have already published a book), including writing college papers, blogs, or articles. AJ’s emphasis on putting the reader first is a central theme for which she provides plenty of useful examples. It’s already helping me organize my content in a clearer, more streamlined fashion. Hopefully, that results in readers finding my writing more enjoyable, too. The Audible version is great because it's the author’s voice and I could listen on my walks. However, within the first 20 minutes I ordered the hard cover, too. I knew I’d want to flip back through specific sections and have it out on the table when I’m writing. Now, when I get stuck, I can hear the author’s voice asking, “does the content/story/data/antidote serve your reader?” That simple question makes it easier to get out of head, keeps my pen moving, and thoughts flowing. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing experience and knowledge, AJ!!

Jump start your must-read!

This book gave me the courage, the steps and the actual formula to get the book that I’ve been saying I would write for the past 8 years actually off to the races. It’s like babywise for book writers. I could not be more grateful to AJ for the generous way she shared not just fluff but an actual process to get going and make something that will change lives. THANK YOU AJ.

Game Changer!

I wish I’d found this book before I wrote my first book. Now, heading into writing my third, I’m confident it will be more impactful! AJ’s writing is interesting, funny, and incredibly useful. You’ll walk away thinking it was written for you. And she’ll teach you how to give YOUR readers the same experience.

Let's talk about results...not just ideas

I have known of, followed, and had an opportunity to interact with AJ long before I read her book. And writing a book is not high on my list of things to do. But as the thought lightly passed through my head, I decided I should read/listen to it first (way before I was ready to get started).

I made this choice for many reasons, but the greatest driver is the results that her students/clients actually achieve. Lots of folks sell "help writing a book" programs, courses, and/or other offers of various types, few actually create observable results. AJ's students, on the other hand, are typically are selling more copies, receiving awards from serious organizations (not just top 10 whoever), and are talked about in multiple circles long after the initial launch.

And she also has real experience from all sides of the book writing equation which I believe creates much more valuable knowledge!

As writing a book move up my "to do" list, I have little doubt I will listen again, review and underline my physical copy, and keep it close at hand. AJ is the real deal and if writing a book is on your list, this is what you should read/listen to first!!

Excellent Information

If you are working on a non-fiction book, this is the book you should be listening to!

I love this book!

Outstanding guide to the real world of writing and self publishing. The title says it all. This woman is a powerhouse, the book turned me on to Pressfield, too! Many thanks to A.J. Harper.
