Preface

The Gnu Guide is designed for the aspiring author who is on the fence about writing a book. It’s also a great little reference guide to have on hand if you’re already an indie published writer. This book would have saved me countless hours of research and its one that I wish I had on hand when I first started writing books. I’m not going to lie and tell you I’ve sold a million copies, but my books have done well and I want to help others. This guide isn’t a work of magic with secrets that’s going to propel your book to the top of the charts. But I guarantee you’ll walk away with the knowledge to publish your work and save money, no matter how experienced you are. I’ve used many the references that I’ve conveniently listed (with links) in this book. I also explain in brief review form why, or why I wouldn’t use the services again.

For those who previously downloaded this book: you’re going to find some changes as some organizations raised their prices far beyond anything reasonable for the services they offer. Others appear as pyramid marketing, getting you to purchase a great service at a decent price, but get carried away with the add-ons that are not. If you’ve already published a book (or books), I’ve included links to bloggers and clubs who will review your book for FREE along with many other organizations and services you may not have heard of.

The Gnu Guide

So, you’ve decided to take on the adventure of writing a book and make millions selling it on Amazon, iBooks, and the other e-book distributors. You may even have hopes of your idea being discovered by Hollywood and seeing your name in lights while mingling with the A list on the red carpet. Your eyes are sparkling with stardust, and nothing can convince you otherwise that your book is nothing short of a masterpiece. Oh boy, does the gnu have some bad news for you.

There are millions of others just like yourself who have this same idea. If e-books could be converted into trees, the world’s rainforests and jungles would no longer be receding, and many forest conservation organizations would close shop. If this news sounds discouraging, GOOD, but you CAN be successful in the thick forest of literature with correct guidance, hard work, and PERSISTANCE. The goal of this book is to simply help you succeed, while avoiding the mistakes myself and so many others have made along the way. You’ll find invaluable tips and lists of vetted resources I have personally used, along with my experiences and others.

Whether you’re contemplating writing your first book, or have a whole catalog that sits stale on the bottom of Amazon seller’s chart, I’m sure you’ll find something useful in this guide. Some parts of this book may seem as common sense, and the methodology already well known among seasoned writers, but it’s in hope by mentioning them, I help the less informed from the very roots-Most importantly, by saving you time and money. I also hope the veteran writers find something that may assist in their success as well.

As a fellow author, you’re NOT considered my competition. Readers don’t just purchase one book-They buy collections and libraries. I want to see you succeed, and keep the e-book and indie market ripe with fresh and unique ideas to get excited readers to return. It is also my intent to perhaps change the minds of writers who for whatever
