There has never been a better time for coaches, consultants, and therapists to write and publish a business book. With a great idea, a clear strategy, and a well-formed marketing plan, your book will help you to build your business and attract more clients.

Your book may be a manual, textbook, how-to guide, self-help book, anthology, parable, memoir, or any type of book that you hope will be a marketing tool and credibility builder.

In Book Marketing Made Simple, you’ll get easy to follow strategies to market your book at all stages of your journey - from the day you start to write a book until after your book launch.
