It seems like every other person I talk to wants to write and publish a book. But what does it really take to get a book to market and, even more important, have it get into the hands of the right readers?
David Hancock founded Morgan James Publishing to help entrepreneurs get their messages out through books. He felt there had to be a better way for thought leaders to keep their copyrights and sell books. Publisher's Weekly consistently ranks his publishing house as one of the top houses. Their authors top the charts of the NY Times, Wall Street Journal and other bestseller lists as well. Yet, many authors seem to struggle with the process from start to finish.
On this episode David shares his best tips on getting accepted by a publisher, writing your book and marketing and selling your book. We also talk about the state of the industry and what is next in digital book sales and block chain.
