By Robert Nahas

We often hear about how great it is to be a successful author. Though this is very true, it only becomes a reality for those who approach such an involved venture the right way. Sadly, all the rest, which is the majority, fail miserably.

When we begin looking into getting a book written, in short order we become confused by the conflicting information that we read, see and hear. And we're left not knowing how to even take the first step or what the right way is.

A statistic of the failure rate of authors is at an astonishing 92%. This stunning statistic should be a serious wakeup call for anyone wanting to delve into the book publishing realm and become a published author.

With false and erroneous information running rampant, you need to be enlightened with accurate data. With understanding under your belt, you can become impervious of the information that traps hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting authors every year.

The information in this best-selling book will be an eye-opener that will allow you to stay clear of almost certain failure with your book. The situation is so widespread that it is vitally important to know this: If you do what everyone else is doing, you are going to fail right along with them.

This is not bad news. It is the starting point that you must take if you want to succeed with having a book that will be impacting enough to enable you to achieve your goals as an author or entrepreneur.

No longer do you need to open yourself up for greater frustration and false, inaccurate or conflicting data from mixed sources. The majority of this data comes from individuals who are not even succeeding in what they tell others to do. It's a recipe for disaster for an aspiring author.

Introduction

Stay Clear Of

The Status Quo

(NOTE: DO NOT SKIP THIS INTRODUCTION!)

This introduction is here to prepare you for the necessary understanding that will open the door to making it with your book. Fasten your seatbelt...

The information in this book will be an eye-opener and a wake-up call that will allow you to steer clear from almost certain failure with your book.

No punches will be pulled. You’re going to get the whole truth. You’re going to hear the bad along with the good about the ways that you can get your book written.

Knowing only one side of something sets you up for erroneous decisions. And they can only lead to bad outcomes, such as an average book. An average book will not produce a big enough impact to allow you to fulfill your book’s purpose and your larger, most commendable goals.

Success is all about having a high-quality product, first and foremost. But the way in which you obtain a quality book is a challenge that desperately needs to be cleared up.

The fact is, most aspiring authors do not know what the benchmark is for a quality book. It’s no fault of theirs. It is a result of the lack of clear-cut information available on the subject.

Average books create no impact. They inspire no one, nor do they enlighten. Average books do not entertain. They don’t even make good pastime while waiting for the clothes to dry or the bus to arrive.

So understand that, there is absolutely no reason to suffer through the process of creating and publishing a book if it is going to end up being average!

Average is another way of saying that a book is part of the norm. The norm consists of a majority that is a lost cause of failing authors.

The world needs another average book, which falls short of delivering its information in a valuable way, as much as it needs global warming, and oil spill or air pollution. Like mountains of plastic bottles, the last thing the book publishing industry needs is another average book to add to its ever growing pile of failed, worthless books!

On the other side of the coin, great books are priceless! They are very valuable to societies as a whole and the individuals within those societies!

Great books are desperately needed by others. People want to know how to overcome a challenge or achieve a determined goal or enjoy some personal time reading a moving or inspirational story.

Great books create an impact! They inspire lots of people, and they enlighten many! Great books entertain. They make excellent pastime. In fact, they make time disappear altogether.

Great books are limitless, timeless and extremely powerful, for both the author and reader.

So the question of whether you should create a book of your own, the answer is a resounding YES! ... BUT ... you have to get it all done properly, or everything will have been done in vain, as it will not be read.

The underlying truth about books is that they involve people who help people to live better, more enriched lives. That’s incredible when you think about it!

It is vitally important that YOU create a great book. There are thousands, perhaps millions, of people who need you, who need the specific knowledge and unique experience that you, and only you, possess!

The information in this book is being presented—my fellow author/entrepreneur who has big hopes, dreams and ideas—so that you do NOT fail me and the other seven billion people on this planet.

WE NEED YOU! The world needs successful authors desperately.

The conundrum is that most authors are not making it. They are failing miserably!

With each failed author, the world dies a little. Why? Because the world lives by communication, and it thrives on truth and valuable information.

The way that life improves for ourselves and for others is by sharing what we know with one another. This way, we can do more correct and just things. As a whole, we truly do make a better world; as a whole, successful authors make a very big difference!

A Little About Me

Who am I and why should you pay attention to the information that is in this book?

For one thing, and I’ll keep this short, I’ve written more than fifty books as a professional ghostwriter.

My company— https://WriterServices.net —has helped a great many aspiring authors and entrepreneurs achieve their goals, and we have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau to back our results.

I’ve personally never experienced Writer’s Block, which is worth mentioning since I’ve coached and mentored many individuals to effectively write their own books or get theirs successfully written, one way or another.

They were able to set the stage for having their books properly published and effectively marketed, enabling them to move toward or fulfill their set goals. What’s important is that their greater successes became more achievable because they had truly valuable, well-written books.

I decided to put a great deal of information, that I share with my Author Coaching clients about getting a book written, into a book—this book.

So I am practicing what I’ve been preaching for almost fifteen years. "Put it in
