What are the differences between autobiographies and biographies?
The two words are not interchangeable.
And neither is a subset of the other.
Once you get a handle on what sets them apart, you’ll never get them confused again.
You’ll be able to explain the difference between autobiography and biography as proficiently as any publisher or semantics expert.
And you’ll know just how to market your book to get your ideal reader’s attention.
Let’s get started.
You’re mapping out your story, playing with ideas for its beginning, middle, and end.
You’ve read so many beautifully-written stories by now.
You’re no stranger to book endings.
It’s easy enough to criticize another author for the way they chose to end their story.
But now you’re faced with the same challenge: how to end a novel in a way that makes sense and will leave your readers hungry for more, especially if you’re writing a series.
Good ideas ahead.
Do you know the difference between an em dash, an en dash, and a hyphen?
And when you’re in the middle of writing your latest masterpiece, do you know how to type an em dash when it’s just the thing to make a phrase stand out more?
It doesn’t help that, while hyphens get a prime spot on the PC keyboard, the en dash and em dash are nowhere in sight. But they’re worth a few extra steps, and knowing how to use them correctly will strengthen your writing and impress your editor.
You feel it when you see others struggling as you have — the burden of knowledge and experience that could benefit them.
And the frustration of keeping that buried treasure to yourself is worse than the challenge of becoming an author.
You’re just not quite sure how to write a self-help book of your own.
But you’re ready to learn.
Writers and helping professionals often have a deep well of reflection and experience to draw from. And when we’ve benefited from books others have written, who can blame us for wanting to pay it forward?
There are thousands of readers who are hungry for the inspiration, motivation, and strategies you can offer them.
The self-improvement book industry is “an $800 million market that’s growing 6% per year,” according to Market Research.com.
I love this genre so much, I’ve authored over two dozen self-help books — several that were bestsellers, and one that became a Wall Street Journal Bestseller.
And the best way to get the same results with your book idea is to follow the steps laid out in this post.
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?
