Read These First, Then Write Your Book

I'm not a best-selling author, but I know a few people who have proven their ability to sell lots of copies of their work, while simultaneously offering sage advice.

Below are three recent posts from writers I respect. Read Rich Melheim first, to get inspired for the long haul. Read Michael Hyatt second for a best-seller launch platform. Finally, read David Carnoy for the nitty-gritty on self-publishing.

Then, post in the comments and add to the wisdom. What's your project, how will you sell it, and what are your best self-publishing tricks?
