Two Million Books a Trickle at a Time: Selling More Books, Finding Success & Making Writing a Career. Inspiration, Essays & How To
A collection of inspiration, essays, and how-to gathered from 20 years of professional writing and 12 years of indie writing!
Long-tail publishing is something I've written much about recently as it's something most people, even so-called industry experts, don't understand. With long-tail publishing, I've been able to turn a steady trickle of sales into out-sized success. As examples, my Ruin Mist books passed the 1 million copy sold mark early in 2013 and my Bugville Critters books reached the 1 million copy sold mark in late 2013. That's pretty good success for the independent marketplace. How I got there was down a long, long road. One that required a significant amount of hard work and dedication. One that required me to believe in myself and my long-term success as an indie author.
This 170-page book is organized into two parts. Part I contains 19 essays on writing, publishing, and the writer's life, including:
On Independents
Finding Your Place
Traveling the Writer's Road
Muddling Through the Gold Rush
Taking Your Work to Hollywood
