Money-Making Business Models For Writers
Are you maximizing your writing income?
Do you want to know how to increase your sales in the short-term and build your writing company?
If you have never heard of a revenue stream or a business model, you are not alone. But these are important terms that could help you become a full-time writer.
I’m Tonya Price, and I understand business. I have an MBA in Marketing and Finance from Cornell University, spent over twenty-five years as an Internet executive and have founded three successful companies including my writing and indie-publishing company, Magnolia Lane Press.
I am also a published short story author. My thriller story, “Payback” will appear in The Best American Mystery Stories of 2019. I make money selling short stories to anthologies and magazines, self-publishing the Business Books for Writers series. Unless you know revenue streams and how to use them to create a business model for your writing company you are missing a large part of your potential income from each book you write.
Money-Making Business Models For Writers is for writers who want to make money from their traditionally published books and for self-published authors who are looking to develop a long-term strategy for becoming full-time authors.
The goal of the book is to teach writers at all stages of their career how to develop a business model that will maximize your writing income.
You don’t need an MBA to read this book. I have written it without business jargon. I use my extensive business background as a way of teaching you how to improve your business skills, so you don’t need to get an MBA to become a successful writing entrepreneur.

I like these little business books as palate cleansers. The info is not brand spanking new, but useful, especially to reign you in as you start either freaking out that you're not growing fast enough as a writer business or as you start making money too fast and begin to burn out.
I especially like the author's sobering assessment of average income generation for writer entrepreneurs over the course of the first 5 years.
