The Incubated Author: 10 Steps to Start a Movement with Your Message

by Angela E. Lauria

The Incubated Author is a guide for authors who want to start a movement with their message. It’s about writing a book that is part of a bigger vision to having a follow of hundreds, thousands and someday millions and to make a difference with your message. This book covers all the steps that discovered from working with authors who wanted more than a book. In this book you’ll The Incubated Author is the missing link for authors who want to start a movement. The book lights a fire and after reading it you will be ready to step up and be seen in the world. If you're starting a movement with your message, and if you're looking for everything to come into crystal clear focus, read this book. Angela Lauria's The Incubated 10 Steps to Start a Movement with your Message delighted me with its authentic & practical message, expressed with passion, sparkle and lots of experience. Lauria powerfully articulates the importance of clarity and commitment in starting a movement with one's message and goes the distance in describing each step of the journey (often a "hero's journey") in seven well-researched, well-written chapters. This is a terrific book - practical, philosophical and comprehensive - for those who want to make a difference in the world by sharing their transformative message.
~ Mary Martin Wisdom just flows through the pages of this book. If you're called to write a book, read this one! Thank you, Angela Lauria, for sharing your messages so powerfully and clearly - again.
~ Esther Goldenberg The Incubated Author turns how you think about writing a book on its head. It forces you to get crystal clear about who the book is for, how they will be different and how to create a movement with your message - BEFORE you ever start writing. When you get that clarity up front, you write a book that can beautifully support your vision, attract the people that most need your message and grow your business. Angela Lauria is a master at this and she's doing what no one else in publishing is doing today.

WOW Indeed!

Strong finish, extraordinary continuation of Angela's series on how to write a good book. If you are or want to be a self help author, then stop everything & read this! I couldn't put it down. Her reference to other brilliant authors made it particularly brilliant. Great style, great read. It was perfect! Now let's go!

What can I say. This book to me feels like the author tooting their own horn, rather than trying to help anyone (Ex. She talks about how people owe her everything for getting their books started, how they are "her" authors). Also, it feels as though 99% is about self-promotion (whether her's or your's) and 1% about the substance--the actual writing: Ex. "Since 1994, I have helped hundreds of people get their books written, published, and promoted." This book is all about the publishing & promoting, & NOTHING about the writing. She even admits it in her book, stating outright that writing as a way of life or art isn't going to go places.

With that being said, I came up with a few pros, cons, & a neutral point:
Pros: Right to the point. Down to earth: approachable, grounded in the reality of the book world. Modern: this is for the 21st century author, giving the latest tips on how to promote yourself

Cons:
Wordy--sometimes sentences are too much like actual conversations, which usually doesn't read well as literature . Questionable grammar & clarity- have to read some sentences twice to understand, & some don't actually make sense. Sweeping generalizations - I usually ignored assumptions she stated as of were fact, getting to the meat of her message. Rambling, "loosy-goosy".

Neutral:
Less about writing as an art or a way of life--this book, as promised by the title holds true to its word, so I'm not poo-pooing it, is about marketing to get your message out, that's it.
