How to Write a Book Proposal That Leaves Publishers Begging to Sign You
The One Essential Truth You Need to Know [Free Video Series]
I’ve been in book publishing my entire professional life—more than thirty years now. And I’ve worked at practically every level of the industry, from grunt to CEO.
I’ve done marketing, sales, and editorial. I’ve even typeset books and represented authors—not to mention being a bestselling author myself. You cannot believe the number of changes I’ve seen over those three decades.
But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed in the slightest. In fact, it hasn’t changed since the printing revolution over five hundred years ago. If becoming a published author is your dream, this one essential truth is the key to ensuring it becomes a reality.

It’s Not all Bad News: The Upside of Social Media
4 Reasons Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram Are Making the World a Better Place
It’s popular to complain about social media and talk about how it is destroying our culture, but what if the exact opposite is true?
I joined Twitter on April 6, 2008. A friend urged me to check it out. He was already using it and loved it. So after some initial eye-rolling, I tried it and fell in love with the medium too.
It wasn’t long at all before I discovered that Twitter is one of the most powerful communication tools ever invented. It also wasn’t long before I got an earful from critics who said social media was bad news.

3 Reasons I Hate Text Messages
Here's How I Respond When I Get One
