The holistic way to approach being a modern author

The book is about authors being very customer/reader focused. It examines the desired values of the modern author and emphasises the things to do 'after' the book has been published. It's about customer service and lifestyle balance. Can be a bit repetitive in places, though some points need to be reiterated. If you are an author with good content and adopt these philosophies you are on the right path to success.

Good for business writers

A good approach to life for authors who are using their books to advertise themselves and their other business. Not as useful for full time authors. More of an “approach to life as a business author” book. Not what I was expecting or hoping for, but still good info.
