Are you searching for some great motivational books to read?
Self-help motivational books sometimes don’t get the credit that they deserve.
While some are filled with advice that will go in one ear and out the other, there are many out there that can greatly improve your life.
If you’re looking for the best books to give you more than a little push of motivation, here are some valuable options that will be worth your time to read.
The best biographies of all time are those that have left echoes in our collective consciousness.
Precisely because of the legacy left by the subjects of those biographies — and the biographers’ skill in sharing that legacy — we can climb to heights made accessible by the giants who came before us.
And as much as we enjoy a good memoir or autobiography, a biography written by someone other than the subject yields something the former cannot.
The perspective of someone not in the subject’s head may feel less reliable or at least less intimate.
But it’s also more likely to be objective and dispassionate.
The biographer might share things the subject would not — either from modesty, shame, or something else.
You have a book — or a great idea for a book — and you want a title that will immediately grab the attention of your ideal readers and make them want to click on it.

And they’re all missing something.

If you’re new to working with poetry publishers, and you’d like to publish a book of your own, you need to know your options.
Different poetry publishers are looking for different styles and flavors of poetry.
If you write rhyming couplets, you probably won’t get the best results from a press that has only published free verse.
And if you don’t like the poetry a press has published, chances are, they’re not the press for you.
So, where do you find the best poetry publishers for your book?
Do you know all the different parts of a book?
For instance, what do publishers mean when they refer to the “front matter” or “back matter” of a book?
Also, what is a preface, and how is it different from a prologue, an introduction, or a foreword?
Is that a trick question? And is possible for your book to have all four of these?
[Not really. And you’ll soon see why?]
