The Wealthy Author is NOT for people who...

• Think a book should just do well because it's `good' and marketing is no task for a `proper' author
  
• Expect somebody else (publisher, publicist, bookshops) to do all the work to promote their book
  
• Just saw the `wealthy' bit of the title and think making money as an author is going to be easy
  
• Want yet more theory but are not willing to follow this up with action
  

The Wealthy Author is for you if...

• You are serious about writing a non-fiction book and want to get it right first time
  
• You have a book in print (self published or with a mainstream) but sales are disappointing
  
• You believe that the success of your book is down to the actions you take, not the wishes you make
  
• You are a 'successful' author but are frustrated you still need the day job to survive
  

Have you always wanted to be an author but don't know where to begin? Do you have a brilliant book idea or finished manuscript but don't know how to get it published? Have you considered paying to get published - even though the idea appalls you? Are you a published author but still need "the day job" to make ends meet? Do you wish you could make a full time living from writing and selling books? Are you seriously thinking about self-publishing and keeping the profit for yourself? Did you pay a small fortune to a vanity publisher and are wondering how you're ever going to make your investment back? Has the promotion of your book been left all up to you even though you're not a "marketing" person? Do you want more control, more of the profit and more success from your books? Are you already a savvy author with a good income from your writing - but want to go to the next level? Would you like to leverage your position as an AUTHOR-ity to massively increase your income for the long term?

If you said yest to any of these questions The Wealthy Author is for you.

After successfully self-publishing their first book on marketing, Debbie Jenkins and Joe Gregory decided to pack up their lucrative consultancy business to focus on publishing full time. They set up BookShaker in 2003 and went on to publish 37 non-fiction books and achieve 5 best-sellers in the first 2 years. As well as continuing to publish 60 new titles a year they also run The Publishing Academy which helps authors and small publishers achieve more success by doing and spending less.
