I am thrilled to announce the official launch of Micro-publishing For Mom Writers. We’ve done a test-class and it went really well. I am so proud of the e-books these class pioneers have created, which will be available for purchase very soon.
And don’t worry, you will be the first to hear about it when they are available. 😉
Why micro-publishing, you may ask?
Well, you have probably noticed that publishing doesn’t just happen in all or nothing terms any longer. In the old days, you were either traditionally published or not. These days publishing happens on a wider spectrum from short to long and from digital to print.
This is good news because it’s clear that it’s harder and it takes longer to get a traditionally published book deal than it used to even five years ago. As a result of over-printing in the recent past too many books went into print and then right back out of print, which was a bad thing for those writers. Today writers don’t have to rush into traditional publication and can benefit from waiting longer and having more control and ownership in the meantime over their content and value by producing e-books as needed and appropriate.
Those two words, needed and appropriate are where I come in as your micro-publishing coach. The world does not need or want any unspecific books, even in e-book form. Just because a book is in e-book form, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t need to be as purposeful as any traditionally published book.
I help my students take the best of what they have already done, examine it, and determine how to best serve their readerships through e-books. It doesn’t matter what kind of book you are writing in what kind of format, in today’s crowded marketplace whatever you write, you have to nail it every time. And when you do, the results are awesome and empowering.
So, if you are a nonfiction writer and you are feeling discouraged about the distance between you and a traditionally published book, don’t despair. You can write your way to traditional starting today while enjoying (and profiting from) the process in a way that wasn’t possible in the past.
Micro-publishing for Mom Writers is a class that is available to my former students only. It has prerequisites, which include the completion of my classes Writing & Publishing the Short Stuff and Discover Your Specialty & Launch Your Platform. You can read the full course description for Micro-publishing for Mom Writers here.
I hope, if you are a former student, you will consider joining us on the Micro-publishing journey. Stay tuned for ongoing announcements over the course of the year as students complete and launch their e-books.
