Scribe Book School Tucker Max and Charlie Hoehn

Book publishing is currently at the beginning of the biggest shift since the rise of Amazon and self-publishing, and this episode explains both its present and future.

The goal is to help you choose the best publishing path for you and tell you exactly how to launch your book once you choose your publishing path.

In Part 1 of this episode, you'll learn what the current publishing landscape looks like right now.

In Part 2, you'll learn the new things we see some Authors doing by presenting case studies with exact numbers.

In Part 3, you'll learn how to pick the book publishing option that’s best for you. The truth is that there is no “right” publishing option; that all of them are right in different circumstances, and the “right” option depends on what you want to accomplish.

Then, in Part 4, you'll learn exactly how to think about marketing your book, and the launch strategies that we see working for Authors right now (both with and without platforms).

If you’re a KDP Author and you’re wondering whether you should put your book in Amazon KDP Select, you’re not alone. It’s a complicated decision, and you could be leaving money on the table either way.

Amazon KDP Select gives you some special Kindle promotional tools, and enrolling your book is free. But, of course, there’s a catch: 

You have to enroll for a full 90-day period, during which Amazon has the exclusive right to sell your ebook.  

In other words, you can’t sell your own ebook on iBooks, Kobo, Nook, or anywhere besides Kindle for the next 90 days.  

So, is it worth it?  In this episode, we'll walk you through all the pros and cons of KDP Select for a self-published author of a non-fiction book.

Before you learn about turning your blog into a book, I want to make one thing perfectly clear:

You don’t need a blog to write a successful book.

At Scribe, we’ve helped thousands of authors write and publish books, and I’ve seen plenty of those books make a lot of money without a blog. So if you don’t have a blog, don’t build one just to write a book.

That said, our co-founder Tucker Max did turn his blog into a series of New York Times bestsellers, so we are happy to share his advice on how to do it.

So, if you happen to have a blog already, this episode will give you a step-by-step guide on how to turn it into a book. We'll also give you several examples of other people who turned their blogs into books.

The best way to write is the way you talk—at least for most writing.

It’s conversational, and it’s easy to read. That’s exactly what you want in a book.

The way we speak isn’t always grammatically correct, but that’s okay.

Grammar rules are arbitrary and completely made-up.

That said, we put together this shortlist of the most common grammatical errors, so you can fix them before sending your manuscript to your editor.

To see all of our examples, check out the full article:
