BOOK REVIEW: AUTHORPRENEUR
Reviewed
by Jodi Webb originally for The Muffin
I
am good with words. I am not good with numbers, money, business plans. I suspect
in that way I am similar to many writers. Nina Amir's book Authorpreneur:
How to Build a Business Around Your Book addresses
that shortcoming in many writers by providing a step by step map to transforming
a book into a business that provides an author many opportunities to
earn.When I say "step by step" I am not exaggerating. Amir will provide an idea such as webinar. From there she will provide you with the names of several platforms you can use to set up webinars along with the positives and negatives of each platform. Then she provides both creative and technical directions on how to produce a webinar: how to transform your book/knowledge into a webinar and tips on technical issues such as when to hold a webinar, producing online registration pages, etc. I was amazed by just how much information was in this 85 page ebook! Even if you just adopt one of the ideas Amir provides you will be getting your money's worth. But don't think this book is all about online opportunities. Amir provides the same detailed attention to things just as speaking engagements and creating mini-books.
On the surface, this book lends itself more to nonfiction writing but with some adaption fiction or memoir writers will find information they can use. It will definitely have you evaluating your book in a new way. I recommend that all writers read Authorpreneur: How to Build a Business Around Your Book and see where Amir's ideas will lead them.
