Writer Resources for 2017, Post #2

Happy New Year!
This post, the second in a series of posts to help you write whatever you want (or need) to write, is focused on reading.
If you missed the first one, it’s right here.
Before I had author friends, I loved to learn from other writers and authors by reading their books and blogs. You can learn about craft and how to become a better writer. You can learn about marketing, everything from developing your author brand, and building fans, to how to sell more books. You can even discover writing methods and use them to develop a new series.

Here are just some of my favorite reads for writers:
Sell More Books with Less Social Media  Chris Syme
Six Figure Author  Chris Fox (and all of his books for writers)
How to Write a Sizzling Synopsis  Bryan Cohen
The Miracle Morning for Writers  Hal Elrod & Steve Scott (and me)
Write, Publish, Repeat  Sean Platt & Johnny B. Truant
2K to 10K Rachel Aaron
Reader Magnets  Nick Stephenson
Save the Cat Blake Snyder
Dictate Your Book  Monica Leonelle
Your First 1000 Copies  Tim Grahl
Write for Your Life  Lawrence Block
Let’s Get Digital David Gaughran

 

And a few books that aren’t directly for writers, but have lots of great content:
Platform  Michael Hyatt
The Power of Habit  Charles Duhigg
Epic Content Marketing  Joe Pulizzi
You Everywhere Now  Mike Koenigs

 

For the cost of a very nice dinner, you can buy millions of dollars worth of knowledge in the form of books (books!) you can read (I know, reading is awesome!). That sounds like a delightful way to spend some time, don’t you think? I hope you’ll get started right away.
Until next time, happy writing (and reading)!

 

MORE GOOD STUFF…

~Finding author friends was one of the best things I ever did. I rolled the dice and signed up for an author summit, and to this day, I have friends I hope I’ll have for a lifetime. The  Smarter Artist Summit  is a great place to start.
~Would you like to build a solid foundation to publish a best-selling book? Eric Van Der Hope created the Publishing Success Summit with 65 book industry experts (you’ll even see an interview from yours truly). Check it out!
~Think you don’t have time to write? I promise you do… Brian Meeks and I co-authored  The Nifty 15: Write Your Book in Just 15 Minutes a Day . This could be just the “beautiful kick in the behind” you need!
