  Are you ready to take the next step in your author journey? 
  Art for the sake of art is important. Writing for the love of it, or to create something beautiful on the page, is absolutely worthwhile and critical to expand the sum of human expression. 
  But I’m not here to talk about creativity or the craft of writing in this book. 
  My aim is to take the result of your creativity into the realm of actually paying the bills.

I’ve failed a lot and learned many lessons in my entrepreneurial life and I share them all in this book. 
  In the last six years of being an author, through tempestuous changes in the publishing world, I've learned the business side of being a writer and I now earn a good living as an author-entrepreneur.
