Abstract

Writers love writing and they love reading-especially when it is about writing. This book about writing for writers and it is in sound bites. Dan Poynter has taken the whole business of writing nonfiction books and distilled it down to the most important tips or rules. 'Successful Nonfiction: Tips & Inspiration for Getting Published' could well be described as 'Life's Little Instruction Book meets Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul.' Each page contains a writing tip, a pertinent illustration, an explanation, a relevant story and a quotation on the point from someone in history. This book could be much longer but Poynter has distilled the 109 inspirational tips into memorable and thought-provoking bite-sized pieces. Sound bite books seem to be all the rage now. Maybe it is because people are so short of time. Some books are just groupings of quotations. This book goes much farther. As a 144-page potential gift-book, it is beautifully designed with French flaps, gold stamping, embossed letters, contrasting end sheets and matte lamination. It is a treasure both inside and out. Dan Poynter is the author of 120 previous books, many of them on writing and publishing. He is best known for The Self-Publishing Manual, How to Write, Print & Sell Your Own Book, now in its 16th revised edition in 30 years.

Abstract

Approached from page one, writing a book appears to be a long, steep climb. And once you reach the summit, you have to hunt for an agent or a publisher. With the larger publishers concentrating on potential best sellers by well-known authors, it is virtually impossible for the new writer to catch the attention of a publisher-or even an agent. But the situation is not hopeless; on the contrary, there is an easy solution because the book writing-publishing model just changed. 'Writing Nonfiction' by Dan Poynter describes the New "Book" Model: the technology has finally arrived to enable us to write, produce, sell and promote books faster, easier and cheaper. You will discover how to build your book rather than just write it. You will multipurpose your "book" into downloadable, CD and eBook versions. You will wring maximum value out of your work by spinning off audiotapes, videotapes, magazine excerpts, foreign-language editions and more. In fact, Writing Nonfiction will be your constant reference on writing and producing books as well as marketing your manuscript. With specific instructions included, Poynter recommends and shows how to cut out the middlemen by doing it yourself. You will learn how to select a salable subject, gather material and break down the book into easy-to-attack pieces. Writing Nonfiction is full of tips and tricks for writing your book.
