Tips:

• The book is not about you. It is about your reader. If you forget that, you’ll lose the reader.
• The editor’s job is to be audience focused.
• An illustration provides a visual break with the written content. Adding art makes a big difference in comprehension.
• I took a course and turned it into a book. The information was road tested. We knew what was important, what resounded, and what was too much.
• Add an illustration every 1-2 pages to break up the black walls of text.
• Getting the book into the hands of prospects is important.
• Ask your business partners to send your book to their clients.
