eBook Category: Self Improvement
eBook Description: Forget what you know about book writing, publishing and promoting; the model just changed--for the better! Now you may print shorter runs at prices that make sense, publish your "books" in other (electronic) ways, sell them automatically and promote them for practically nothing. You will discover how to wring maximum value out of your work. This is an exciting time to be a writer. To be successful, a book needs writing, design, production and promotion. I organized and automated some of these functions years ago. The last elements just recently fell into place to establish the New Book Model. You will love it! There is not enough room in one manual to include everything that you should know about writing nonfiction. Consequently, Para Publishing has prepared many supplemental reports (called documents, special reports or instant reports) that are referenced in relevant places throughout this book.

If you can't type, dictate. Just capture your words and get them down;they can be manipulated later. You may dictate to tape and then have your work transcribed to disk or you can use speech-recognition software to dictate directly to disk.Dictating to tape is the traditional way and is an extra step. Jim Comiskey sold his string of pet stores when he was 42 and soon became bored with retirement. He decided to write a book and began with a dictating machine. A local word processing service transcribed his words to disk and provided him with a hardcopy to edit. He contacted the Writers' Connection in Cupertino, California, for editing help and found an artist for the cover. How to Start,Expand and Sell a Business became a reality. Dianna Booher has mastered the "Interstate Book"; she has written a couple of books while driving. For example, she dictated the first draft of the 173-page Clean Up Your Act (Warner) driving from city to city in Florida. Typically, she plans her book with idea wheels (in sequence and subordination) and then dictates from her outline. When she returns home, an assistant transcribes the dictation. Dictating to your computer. Now you can bypass the keyboarding and dictate directly into your computer with speech-recognition software. Just speak into the microphone, giving punctuation and formatting commands as you go.
