Word Mountain

     If you are an entrepreneur, speaker, coach or other professional and have the sense that your own book can be a fantastic vehicle to launch you to the next level, well...you're right.

     There are HUGE benefits to having a nonfiction book (and you don't have to be a Dr. Phil or Suze Orman to reap them!):

Credibility: Become the expert in your subject matter and attract media attention

Promotion: Your book can be a calling card beyond compare

Lead Generation: Entice your market to contact you

Positioning: Stand out from the competition

     I've been a corporate writer and editor (and manager of writers and editors) for over twenty-five years and have an in-box full of how-to questions regarding the crafting and publishing of non-fiction books. I'm working on getting the answers to you with a guide that helps entrepreneurs create business-building books, but I'll share the core secret with you right now. The key to creating a quality, business-building book quickly is in the foundation. 

     In the same way that a solid foundation is critical to a well-built house, the development of a book's foundation can help you write a solid, information-rich book that helps you shine--and in ninety days or less. Your Word Mountain foundation work will help you define your book’s purpose, clarify your message, jumpstart your writing process and finish your book--whether you want to self-publish or shop your manuscript to agents and traditional publishers. In addition, you will learn some of the secrets that the pros use to keep the ideas flowing smoothly from brain to page. 

     For those writers out there who are in search of a literary agent, make sure you listen to my interview with highly successful literary agent and author, Evan Marshall.  Just click play in the sidebar and learn! He's brilliant!
